• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Would I be in order to ask Sen. Sang whether when he becomes governor, he will make the Senator the chairman of his Committee since that was his proposal? view
• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in congratulating this Third Senate. It has been a privilege because we have 45 million Kenyans or so. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in Senate: Sorry, this is the Second Senate. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are 45 million Kenyans in this country or thereabout and 67 individuals sat in this House. It is a blessing from God to have been one of the individuals. I thank the people of Nyeri County for having seen it fit that I serve them for the past four and a half years as their Senator. That is a privilege, an honour and something that I am going to value throughout my life. I particularly thank the people of Mukurweini Constituency who first elected me to Parliament. Because of ... view
• 14 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I applaud the answer given by the Chairman. However, the most important aspect that has been raised and that applies to the rest of the counties in Kenya and, indeed, many towns, is the issue of noise pollution. It is very clear that a lot of us are suffering. If you recall, there was a period when in the Eastlands part of the city, bars and social amenities were opened next to schools. These days, children have a problem doing their homework at night because of the level of noise that is present in many places. A ... view
• 14 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no wish of sending religious institutions to the industrial area. However, there is nothing wrong with them being in the industrial area as well because there are people who work there who also need to pray. My point is that the noise that our people are being subjected to has reached an unacceptable level. Every nation in the world is now contemplating this issue. There is nothing wrong with our churches and mosques operating at a reasonable level of noise, especially those religious institutions that are praying even at midnight. view
• 14 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me seek clarification. view
• 14 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my clarification is: Since this is a devolved function, this House should consider, through the Chair, legislation to affect the level of noise that our people are subjected to, especially by those religious organisations that allow their followers to pray at midnight, kitu wana ita kesha; beating drums the whole night . I emphasise that this matter should be taken more seriously view
• 14 Jun 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the Motion and to thank the Chairman and all those who participated in this exercise. Clearly, a lot of work went into it and yet a lot more work still needs to go into it. The introduction of a bicameral Parliament in this Republic also had implications on the Standing Orders. I think with the wisdom of hindsight, there are now certain aspects of the Standing Orders that we must seriously look at, even as we finish the exercise. I want to particularly bring to the Members’ attention, my intention to ... view
• 13 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to know for clarity how the sound that Sen. Wetangula made will be recorded in the HANSARD. view
• 13 Jun 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a Member of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. I take exactly the same view. I concur with the Chairman. There is a notion in certain quarters in the National Assembly that there is something called a constituency and there is something called a county and the two are not related at all. It is important for us to remind our brothers in the “Lower” House that every single constituency in Kenya is in a county, not one! So, when you see the kind of intransigent behaviour that is being exhibited stubbornly within the ... view
