Other than putting this as a matter that we will leave to our counties and the Executive, we must find a way of putting the national archives and museums together in this framework so that we can work together. If there are things in the museums and the National Archive that concern Tharaka Nithi County, is it possible to move them to Tharaka Nithi County? If we do so, the people of Tharaka Nithi County can find a newspaper from 1945 of a son or daughter of theirs who did something significant for this country. I believe that is possible. ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we can find a method in this Bill to make it a truly national outfit so that we do not restrict Tharaka Nithi to their Tharaka Nithi issues. We can go many steps backwards to find people just like you and the contributions you made in the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the HANSARD reports that contain your contributions in this House. Those are some of the things that can be highlighted as contribution of the son of Tharaka Nithi County in the name of Prof. Kithure Kindiki who walked and made wonderful contribution on the ...

I agree with Sen. Murkomen that the elected leaders must find a way of restricting ourselves from awarding national honours such as Elder of the Order of the Burning Spear (EBS), Elder of the Order of the Golden Heart of Kenya (EGH) and many more honours just because I happen to have been elected. We have to allow ourselves to be honoured by other people after we have left the scene and not when we are on the scene.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to make a Statement very quickly on behalf of myself, the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights and the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations on something very important that has happened in Kitui during our visit. However, it is also a request, and some Members are here. This Statement is about the prisons in Kitui. (1) The Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations should explain how a private developer acquired and gazzetted land belonging to the prison and subsequent approvals to construct a multi-storey building next ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought I should inform the Senate that part of the strange thing about the people facing murder in Kitui is that in one case we have six members of one family who are facing murder of the same person. We have another case of a mother, the daughter, a two year old child and their father in prison and many others.

Madam Temporary Speaker, for a long time I did not suffer from any illusions about the conduct of governors. I wondered when the honeymoon between the governors and the Senate would end. I know that the honeymoon ended when money hit the accounts of the counties. We no longer have to hold hands with the governors about the governor’s court case or any other funny things that that they want us to do with them.

It is extremely disappointing that we all sat here to hear a good report about the Makueni County Government. However, for some strange reason, documents concerning Makueni County found themselves into the Senate. I do not know how those documents found themselves on this Table. I have heard about witchcraft. However, this witchcraft is strange. The person who delivered those documents here did not show up, but the documents appeared here in the name of Makueni County. I do not know if this is contempt or impunity, but something is strange about the conduct of the governors of this The ...

region. I have no doubt in my mind that this was a conspiracy agreed upon by the three of them to snub the Senate for purposes of ensuring that we go away. Madam Temporary Speaker, can Sen. Kajwang’s Committee tell the governors of this region that we are going nowhere. We will deal with them be it under the sea, under the ground and in whatever they do even if they bring ghosts to the Senate to drop documents at night. We will deal with them. Yesterday, the Deputy Speaker said that we either hang together or separately. By the ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senators who do not sit in the CPAIC have delegated that responsibility to the Committee to question our governors without fear, favour or collecting money from them.
