• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The distinguished nephew of Sen. Wetangula has shared my concern. I was wondering why the Chairperson was so concerned like all of us. He is lamenting like all of us, yet he occupies a different position from us. The exams are ongoing and the concern that caused Sen. Shiyonga not to name the gun properly, the AK-47, is something that you must handle before the exams are completed. It is my hope that you will issue some directions. I do not know if it will be a Statement directed to the Cabinet Secretary, but we ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I only want to say two things. The Senator of Vihiga County is possibly the only one who has a record of addressing the Assembly of Vihiga every year and more times than anybody else. As I welcome the Members from Vihiga County Assembly, I would like to tell them that their Senator is Senator Number One out of the longevity of service and hierarchy. You have a good Senator. However, what I am worried about is that in the last Senate, Vihiga was number one in terms of petitions on mismanagement of public ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Sen. Cherargei, my Chairman of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, is very famous for preaching water and drinking wine. Every time I see him on television, he talks about BBI. Which BBI is he always referring to? Is it the same one you are referring to and issued threats about, the one that Sen. Malalah alluded to? I think Sen. Malalah is allowed to issue an opinion, since there is no document about what will be issued. There are press conferences issued from both sides of the divide about it. I think to that extent he is ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter of the BBI, in legal terms, is referred to as a matter of public notoriety. So, even when it is spoken at funerals, you take judicial notice of a matter of public notoriety under the Evidence Act. What I was simply saying is that reference to BBI in funerals, churches and this platform is the same. This is because, while the Speaker truly knows it is not a report, when the able Senate Deputy Minority Leader and Senator of Kakamega County talks about BBI, I think that he is referring to the same thing; not ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree with Sen. Sakaja. In fact, there should be a Communication on Orders No.9, 10, 11 and 12 as to the reasons they have not been transacted, because the Members were here and left after voting. Other than the Committees of Whole, even Members who have Private Members Bills end up thinking that their business will not be reached and, therefore, leave. Someone might think that we do not have work to do because we sometimes adjourn early, yet matters of this nature are on the Order Paper. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: This is giving the Whips nightmares when doing their work because in most cases, we whip Members to come and present their matters, yet they are not here and there is no good reason. In fact, on this account, invoke the Standing Orders - I am not sure which one - to drop Orders No.9, 10, 11 and 12 out of the Order Paper, so that a lesson can be learnt. view

• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to second The Care and Protection of Child Parents Bill (Senate Bills No.11 of 2019). I must say that when Sen. Kwamboka requested me to second this Bill, I had very anxious moments about it. This is because I have to recognise that this vice of children who are parents exists. By coincidence, last Monday, on a private matter, I was in Makindu Law Courts and a lady who had a child on her back approached me. Standing next to her was a girl, possibly in primary school in school uniform. This ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in Senate: to address the vice, unfortunately, the only part of the vice that we have addressed is the jailing of the persons who have committed the crime. The country has completely forgotten about two important people; that is, the pregnant mother and the child. Since we do not seem to care, it has been left to the devices of these young girls, where it is left to their conscience to determine what to do with these children. You have unwanted pregnancies and pregnancies. In as much as I stand here and feel my moral conscience, and everything in my body just ... view
