• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also wish to congratulate the country for the visit by such an important personality, the leader of the so-called free world. Having said that, I want to clarify whether the Chair has considered telling this House what matters, indeed. The President of the USA may want to discuss with our President the possibility of heightened security support both in terms of hardware and software. As you are aware, the implementation of CCTV by Safaricom is becoming very effective but I believe with the support of the USA Government, companies such as Motorola will fast- track ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whether we call it “Rondon” or “London” the city is the same because a rose is a rose by any other name. 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
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can now appreciate why I called it “London” because of the United Kingdom and the “United Kisumu”. In a nutshell, it would be very nice to upgrade those places so that the image of our nation remains the same as that of Nyeri. We are happy that it be done. We would also like to hear the Senator for Kisumu invite us to the Obama fete like I invited the Senators to Nyeri. We should see the good graces of the son of the “United Kisumu”. view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, this House approves the Report of the Mediation Committee on the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2015) pursuant to Standing Order No.155, laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday 27th May, 2015.

• 27 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I simply say, from the Senator’s mouth to God’s own ears. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to second this Motion and say that this is a Motion that is long overdue. The plight of Kenya Airways is something that is of concern, not only to Parliament, but to Kenyans as a whole. In the past, Kenya Airways has not only been the pride of Africa, but more so, the pride of Kenya. There is something synonymous with a country’s airline and the image of that country. That is why today when you think about British ... view
• 27 May 2015 in Senate: has got Qantas Airlines, Emirates, Singapore, British Airways and Etihad as amongst the best in the world. At what point did Kenya Airways become a basket case? Unless we can answer this question, then we will not be able to move forward. There is a tendency for us as a country to look at the situation Kenya Airways is in, write off some Kshs6 billion and it is business as usual. This is a big mistake. We should not forget that the Government is The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version ... view
• 21 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to say that it is good that this Petition has been brought from Wajir. I will emphasize two things. One is the capacity of the Senators to oversight counties. It is very good that this morning, that is the issue that was at hand. As we move forward from this year to the next year, the Kshs1billion being allocated towards being more vigilant to the expenditure of the counties is not enough. When we go to next year, we need to relook at the whole issue. Secondly, the Budget and Appropriations Committee of the ... view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I listened very keenly to what my Chairman said in regard to the schools. He said that first of all you wear an identity badge. We know that one of the ways that terrorists identify people to shoot is when they know who you are; if you are a Christian they shoot you. Is a mere badge a way of securing anybody in a terrorist infested area? One would have expected to hear that there would be units of security personnel. Every education institution would have a sizeable unit of 20 to 30 people taking ... view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. There are hon. Senators who are outside. Since we are allowed to open the Bar, perhaps we can open it for two seconds for them to come in. These are hon. Senators and they cannot walk out there aimlessly like goats. view
