• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I listened to the Statement by the distinguished nominated Senator. It reminds us of the need to protect our society, especially innocent growing children. 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
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: You may remember that in the last Senate, with the Senators for Elgeyo- Marakwet and Isiolo, we passed the Cyber Crime Bill in this House, which was very comprehensive in the protection of the society against cyber criminals. The people that Sen. Falhada is describing are pure and simple criminals who use and take advantage of social media to corrupt morals, pervert society, spread hatred and do all manner of things. We have seen even far and beyond, for instance, in the US, how President Trump tweeted himself out of office by constantly insulting anybody in sight using raucous language. ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wanted to make a comment on the first Statement by the distinguished Senator of Nandi County regarding road blocks. 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
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: This is probably the country with the highest number of roadblocks anywhere. On one occasion, I counted 14 roadblocks from Eldoret to Bungoma which is 98 kilometers. Every time you enter Turbo, a tiny market, there is a roadblock as one enters and exits. All those roadblocks are toll stations. We need, as a House, to send a clear message to CS Matiang’i and the Inspector General of Police (IG) that we need a better management of our roads. The problem is not the Ministry of Roads but the security sector. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I remember when I was the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the President of Rwanda came to Kenya and said he is contemplating using the Port of Dar es Salaam despite the distance because of the number of roadblocks from Mombasa to the exit in Malaba. At every roadblock, the exporters and importers of Rwanda are paying a lot of money, making business extremely unbearable and expensive. We want to urge as the distinguished Senator has raised, that it is good to have roadblocks where necessary, either to battle crime or we want to arrest a wanted person ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As long time practitioners of law we feel very sad when we read and hear from the Senator from Kericho that a court has been closed and nothing is being done about it. Article 48 of the Constitution is very clear that the State must ensure that every Kenyan has access to justice. Many other Articles of the Constitution talk of speedy dispensation of justice and affordable access to justice. People should not be made to suffer because of poor administrative decisions by any arm of Government. As my colleagues before me have said, a ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Those questions must be there. If we give the Judiciary money to buy vehicles and instead of buying new vehicles, they go to Dubai and buy second hand vehicles, questions will be asked. If you give them money to build a courtroom in Mandera worth Kshs60 million and you go there and find a court room worth Kshs10 million, questions will be asked. Those are public resources. I want to urge the Chief Justice that in case there is disconnect in communication between the courts and Parliament, let both institutions have liaison officers that can help in the smooth communication ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that point raised by the distinguished Senator for Kitui is very pertinent. Prior to the Statement, we debated the matter of the plight of former councillors in the last Senate. We unanimously passed a resolution that a mechanism be undertaken to look after former councillors. Thereafter, budgets have come and gone; we never see any item on this issue. When the Statement by Sen. Wambua was sought, we thought the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare would take up the matter. You directed that this be done in 14 days yet we have not seen any progress. ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: It has passed. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator said what he said when he knows that even the impeachment motions that come to this House come as motions; we impeach governors and they go home. Therefore, the effect of a Motion and the resolution of this House can neither be impugned nor indicted by anybody. In fact, the distinguished Senator for Isiolo can tell you that when we were carrying out the Managed Equipment Services (MES) investigations, one of the pillars that the Ministry of Heath purported to stand on for studying MES was a resolution of this House on a Motion ... view
