• 30 Oct 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It was only with a light touch. We discussed yesterday and again, it is good to tell this House that, in fact, we intend to hold an ICT opportunities for persons with disability conference for all the representatives in the county assemblies. There are people nominated for that purpose. The Committee on Information and Communication is calling those people for a conference here in Nairobi so that we can be able to infuse them and for them to be champions on the use of ICT in the various counties in order to effectively meet ... view

• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion for very good reasons. Firstly, when you read the Motion, it says that this committee will take effect from the 2nd September, 2014 and yet on the 2nd of October, 2014, it was already one month later. In a few days, that is, on the 2nd November, 2014, it will be two months. Therefore, the lifetime we are giving this committee will elapse even before we have discussed it in the House. Secondly, I have tremendous respect for both the Mover and the Seconder of this Motion. Everybody knows my ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. Sen. Khalwale did allude to the fact that we are afraid of ad hoc committees. We are not afraid of ad hoc committees, neither are we against them. We are simply saying that as a matter of moving forward on this matter, this may not be the most effective way of doing so. I am convinced that even though there have been other ad hoc committees in the past, as Sen. G.G. Kariuki said, there is more than one way of killing a cat. We are convinced that a smaller part ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, sir. I wanted to propose that the Mover replies but it is okay that you have called him. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, Sen. Naisula in her contribution made it very clear and in my contribution, I made very clear that we are very grateful about the work that has been done. I specifically mentioned Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. because I know that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has spent a lot of his time and money in defense of the Senate. I hope that it is something that he will continue to do. So, let the Senator stand corrected that we appreciate, are thankful and grateful. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to ask for clarification? I recall that during your contribution, you alluded to the fact that either the Committee was not going to be paid at all or that they were going to ask not to be paid at all. In fact, in your contribution, you alluded to something to do with the aspect of pro bono work. Would I be in order to ask the Chairperson or the Mover to clarify that particular position? view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. From out outset, I rise to support this Bill; I could see a bit of concern somewhere--- view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, when we are out there as Senators, because we are not seen in Harambees, we do not have the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF), we do not have the Governor’s kitty and we do not have money to give for scholarships, one of the things we are asked is: “What is the role of the Senator?” Today, thanks to Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., this is a very good example of exactly what the role of a Senator and the Senate is. I, therefore, want to start by congratulating Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. I would have expected no less ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise again to thank Sen. Wetangula for doing us an honour by bringing this Motion. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it was Abraham Lincoln who said many centuries ago that “in the end, it is not the years in your life that count; it is the life in those years.” Clearly, Prof. Ali Mazrui had a lot in his life. It is not just as he lived to the ripe age of 81 The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report ... view
