• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if you are well read in the scriptures like I am, there are moments when Jesus referred to himself as “we.” I am taking that position. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I know that the Division Bell has already been rung and that we have closed the doors. However, we have a very critical Motion of Adjournment coming up in the next ten minutes. This is on the Teachers Strike. It is important that this Senate ventilates fully on this very important national catastrophe. Children are not in school while the teachers are busy with the strike. We support their desire to be paid and we need to have a voice on this. I wonder whether going on to vote will not undermine ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am requesting the Chair to exercise its discretion and to defer this voting and any further debate on this Motion, so that we deliberate on the matter that is of urgent national importance as required by the Standing Orders. We have already brought this to the attention of the Chair. The Chair acceded and allocated time for debate. view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to start where my learned senior left off; populism. The height of populism is promising laptops to Standard One children when you have a problem of teachers on your hands. That is what the Jubilee Government is doing. I want to remind the Cabinet Secretary for Labour, Social Security and Services for free, first, that governments have perpetual succession. So, he cannot go to the public and say that the agreement was The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the teachers of this country work under very difficult circumstances yet we have given discretion to people at Jogoo House who just sit and decide which area is a hardship and teachers can get hardship allowance. They decide that Kajiado is now a hardship area or remove Garissa from hardship areas. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished hon. Senator moving this amendment is a member of my party and coalition. But I find it difficult to appreciate the philosophy behind the 1895 period. Any country that wants to move forward must be like a good driver. You cannot drive to your destination with your eyes on the rear view mirror because you will not move, you will crash. We set up the TJRC after the post-election violence of 2007/2008. Part of what they were to look into, I believe, is what Sen. Ndiema has in mind. These are historical injustices. But we ... view
• 25 Jun 2013 in Senate: I am quite well informed on this. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Senator is just fortifying what I was saying; a protectorate is not a state. He should understand this. I know he is a very well educated person. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I oppose this amendment, I also find it very difficult to come to terms with the whole Motion. I was driving to the airport to go to Mombasa and I listened to the distinguished hon. Senator for Kisumu County, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’- Nyong’o. I thought he made valuable contributions to this Motion. I know that Sen. G.G. Kariuki holds very passionate views about the ... view
• 25 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that the distinguished Senator for Kiambu went to a different school than I went to. I did not say that the two communities had an affair. I was very clear. I think he knows the story of Kiambaa Church among other incidences like the one that happened in Naivasha. Many people from the Luhya Community were killed and others expelled from their properties but we have not asked for money to buy land for them because we responsibly took them into the communities. I will oppose, every day of my life, any attempt to ... view
