• 25 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also congratulate the distinguished Senator for bringing this far sighted Motion. I listened to him as I was driving to the Senate. I was quite impressed with the good knowledge of the subject he has brought to the Floor and the benefits that will come out of the implementation of the Motion. This country is properly wired, at least, with basic highway of fibre optic. The cable has been wired all the way to Malaba, Busia, Namanga and Moyale. This means in between, many critical areas can get connectivity. What we need is a ... view

• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Statement which the Chairman is supposed to give was requested by me, but I will not be here on Tuesday. I want to seek your indulgence--- view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was requesting that instead of Tuesday, the Chairman picks another day because I will not be here on Tuesday. Thursday will be a better date. view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Saturday that passed was a sad day for many Kenyans; in fact, for all Kenyans. It reminded us 16 years ago of the Ufundi House/American Embassy attack. view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we lost lives, properties were damaged and it was painful to see small two or three year old kids and helpless women with bullet wounds lying in hospital. Like my colleague has said, the spirit of the nation came to the fore. President Uhuru Kenyatta had the courage to call former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and myself and speak to us; and he called on us to do what we were expected to do anyway – to stand up as Kenyans and show leadership. view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the philosophy of terrorism is the philosophy of cowardice, hate, despondency and the philosophy of causing pain. You can see that they chose the softest of targets – a shopping mall on a Saturday – and who in this country frequents shopping malls? It is women and children in many cases, and they wanted to inflict maximum pain on our country. When you look back at what has been happening to other countries; take Lebanon in the 1970s – they started by bombing malls – and eventually in 1975, in Lebanon, they bombed the House of Parliament ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a life lost, whether it is a child or a 100 year old, it is a pain to us, Kenyans, en masse . We stand here as a Senate to acknowledge that, yes, many questions will be asked hereafter. But in my community, we have a saying that when your hen is attacked by a fox, you must take up your spear and expel the fox before you come back to blame the hen for wandering into the bush. So, let us expel the fox, that is the terrorist, and then we will be able to ask ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: If they think they are going to divide our country on racial lines, they are mistaken! The resolve of Kenyans that we saw on Saturday and Sunday up to today – young Indian boys wearing reflectors directing traffic; old women holding flasks ready to help anybody and everybody; volunteer doctors standing with their stethoscopes, ready to support anybody. At Aga Khan Hospital alone on Sunday afternoon, 650 litres of blood was donated by Kenyans. This is a wonderful spirit, and we, as the Senate and the entire leadership, must speak loud and clear that we stand with every Kenyan. This ... view
