• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: That is in the past and hopefully, we will relate better in the future than we did then. I thank hon. Sakaja for introducing better relationships. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I meant that he was the Chairperson of TNA and is now a candidate for governor of Nairobi County. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hope I can stay within the holy time. The crafters of the 2010 Constitution did not envisage a situation where devolution was going to involve devolution of corruption and malpractices. I believe that the future stability of this nation is predicated on the good running of county governments. Let us never lose sight of the reason why we have devolution. Devolution is there to help Kenya be a more stable nation. While supporting the petitioners, it is good for us to look at the wider picture and all the management. Article 96(3) which gives ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I congratulate the Government for the policy to expand the national schools across all counties. It is a good thing, especially towards what the Chairman has just said on national cohesion. In fact, I am believer that many schools as possible should be made national schools. Our children should live and integrate with each other from as early an age as possible, so that the future Kenya can be stable and less tribal than the current one. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, having said that, I want to seek clarification on two things. First, ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Chairperson on the Floor is not just the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, which I am a Member. He is also, as he well knows; a former headmaster of one of the schools involved in this thing. He is also a Senator and understands the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. Secondary schools are not devolved functions. Secondary schools fall under the national Government. Is the Chairperson in order to speak so irrationally about a subject that is so clear? When he says that there is rationale in giving established ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. TemporarySpeaker, Sir, this is a very crucial and important aspect of the management of our educational system in this country, and towards cohesion for our nation. So, I wantto inform the Chairperson that all secondary schools in the second category (B) moving from category A which is the 18 schools are suffering very seriously. You remember that one of the issues that the Chairperson raised very eloquently was that more money was going to be given to these schools. If the Chairperson would undertake, and I am a member of his Committee, so I can assist him The electronic ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas I appreciate the frustrations that are being expressed by the Members, particularly regarding petitions, would I be in order to ask that we relook at the whole matter of petitions as a House with the objective of raising the threshold for what constitutes a petition? Whereas it is a constitutional right of individuals to petition the House, in other jurisdictions, if you look at, for example, the United States of America, there is a minimum number of people who must sign a document called a petition in order for it to take it effect. ... view
• 9 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from my understanding of the Chairperson’s presentation, there are two things that are related to drought; that is, water and food. We generally do not have water to grow food or grass. The second issue is that there is no food. In the livestock subsector, they are talking about acaricides and tsetse flies. The cows are not sick; they are hungry. These are two very different treatments. When a cow is hungry, you do not inject it with insecticides and so on. It would have been better if the Chairperson told us that in view of ... view
• 9 Nov 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. How can we ask the Chairperson to bring a statement about something that does not exist? The whole idea would be for him to go and seek more information on the issues to table it here. It does not exist. Would I be in order to suggest that the CS involved --- view
