• 5 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sorry for interrupting the distinguished Senator. In view of the tremendous interest being shown in this debate and that we have just about a half an hour to go, would I be in order to request you to regulate the time so that as many Members as possible can speak because this is a very historic debate? I propose an average of three minutes per Member so that every Member can have an opportunity to put on record their feelings about this great Kenyan girl. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to salute Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for bringing this important Motion. The Holy Book tells us that the beginning of healing is the acknowledgement of wrongdoing. Until and unless we acknowledge that we were wrong, we cannot heal. That is why a country like South Africa set up a truly Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). We attempted here, but we all know how we ended up. Everybody wanted to doctor the report to remove their name and we ended up with a TJRC Report that was not a report. This is because everybody wanted not ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: I will have it, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. Murungi. Those are some of the dark days in this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you remember how Martin Shikuku and George Anyona were arrested in Parliament for making a contribution and simply saying: “Do you want to kill Parliament the way you killed the party?” That was enough. I know who signed the detention order and I will not say it here. If the colonial regime can acknowledge the torture to our people in Mau Mau--- view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, neither shall I swallow that bait. If Mau Mau detainees and those who were tortured can be compensated by an illegal colonial regime— view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under the new Constitution. This information is publicly available to anybody. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is public knowledge. I know that my brother, G.G., signed some detention orders, but certainly not Shikuku’s, because he was not the Minister then. So, if the worry is that he did, he did not. He was a Minister after. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to carry on. I can tell the House without any fear or favour that my very good friend, G.G. Kariuki, in fact, once told me that he signed a detention order for Orengo, but before they caught up with him, he crossed the border to Tanzania. But that is not what we are debating here. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is common knowledge. I was mentioning two detainees; Martin Shikuku and George Anyona, who were arrested in the precincts of Parliament for saying that the regime then was trying to kill Parliament, the same way that it killed the only party then. Everybody knows - because my brother G.G. was in Parliament – that at that time the only person or office that signed detention orders was the Minister for Home Affairs. I am sure that you can go to the books of history and check. These are matters of common knowledge and are even ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not want to engage in unhelpful altercations with my very good friend. Sen. James Orengo is my witness because when he told me, he was standing next to me. Allow me to go on. view
