• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order. Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a concern on Order No.9 before we vote. The last time, you issued a Communication that there should be consultations between the stakeholders on this Bill. I am not sure whether the consultations have been done because we have not received a report. I have also checked with the Chairman and confirmed that there is another meeting going on in Naivasha over the same Bill. Could you, please, give us direction on whether or not we should move to Division on Order No.9, in view of the pending issues between the stakeholders, even a Petition ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: .: No. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my only concern is that you have said time and again, and I have heard from tradition - I may be new but I have repeatedly sat here -You have said in a lot of your directions that the debate can only be restricted to the Second Reading. What if in the consultations, there is reason to open debate on this issue? In the Third Reading, there will be no debate. It is possible that you will limit debate when it comes to the Third Reading. Those consultations will not be useful because in the Third Reading, ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to confess that I have made copies of that newspaper excerpt and I have given it to my senior, the only senior counsel in the Senate, Sen. Orengo. We are quoting from what appears to be the extract of the speech of President Obama and exactly what he said. From my reading, it appears to be an accurate description of exactly what he said. It even includes applause where it was necessary. view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: .: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was extremely impressed by President Barack Obama in terms of the way he articulated matters concerning Kenya when, ideally, he is supposed to be a foreigner. I was extremely disappointed when I read newspapers this morning that were concentrating on what CORD was told as opposed to highlighting the three persons that Obama mentioned; the young people of this country who have done us proud. For the first time, politicians were relegated to some back banner at the Kasarani Gymnasium as President Obama spoke to the youth. He told the youth to say no ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am talking about the speech. The HANSARD of that speech should be read by other people. I can even go a step further and translate this speech into Kiswahili so that Kenyans who cannot read English can read it in Kiswahili. We need to repeat to this Republic that we must reclaim the glory of this nation that President Obama talked about; when South Korea and Kenya were in the same position at some point. That is the Republic we need. A girl in Nyanza and a girl in Central must stand up on Mt. ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter of the Nairobi Dam is very serious. After reading this, I do not even think that the County Government of Nairobi has the capacity to deal with this issue. I would suggest that we go with the method proposed by the Senate Minority Leader, because this is a national disaster in itself. When I was the president of the Rotary Club of Nairobi, we constructed ten ablution blocks in Silanga. I can tell you that even if they do 50 of them as proposed here, it is not going to solve the problem. For those ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. I have just consulted the Chairperson of the Committee on Land and Natural Resources. They were supposed to deal with two issues. One, was the pollution of Athi River in Makueni and Machakos counties. They have informed me that--- 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
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ooh, really? The Committee on Land and Natural Resources had undertaken to do two things. One, there was a question that I sought for on the Lifting of the Moratorium on Timber Harvesting in the Republic. The Cabinet Secretary in charge was supposed to come to a Committee of the whole House. That has not happened. As we do so, there are Kenyans who are harvesting timber in Mau forest. The scandal is yet to come. The second one is on Athi River Pollution in Machakos and Makueni counties. view
