• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Sen. Cheruiyot, Sen. Kagwe then, the late Sen. Boy Juma Boy and I were invited to Japan. What we saw there was exactly what Sen. Cheruiyot is referring to on how to monitor cyber phishing. We were taken to a room of young people who were monitoring people on internet. That is the proposal we had put in that Bill, but it never saw the light of day because we do not monitor cyberspace. While we cannot regulate the internet, Japan has a method of regulating and finding out who is saying what from where and flag people like the ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Going into the elections, this would be the tool. The 2007-2008 Post Election Violence (PEV) was fanned by radio stations. Election violence in Kenya is fanned through the internet by fake news, pseudo accounts. Politicians all over the place, including many of us, use the internet to fan ethnic hatred. I have seen part of it ongoing because of the by-election in Kiambaa. Nobody follows those people who kill people on internet and type things about people because we do not have a police monitoring unit that is supposed to identify you because your phone has a specific identity. The ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Other than what Sen. Iman has said, it is important for us to find a framework where companies that allow people to defame people and use internet to spread pornography are fined. That is the way to do it. I hope we will make some progress. Sen. Wambua is here. In fact, the Committee on Information and Technology should take this matter up. Sen Iman has brought this to our attention and we know what she is saying because we are affected by people like these. Sen. Wambua and Sen. Moi must take up this matter. My concern is that ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support. Rumour has it that – may be Sen. Kasanga can confirm - all of us suffer mental illness and it is only the degree that varies. You do not have to run at night like they do in Homa County to be a mental health patient. All of us are mental health patients. So, it is a pandemic of its own nature. Recently, I was reading an article of a good friend of mine of a young person who committed suicide for earning a salary of Kshs18,000. Every other time ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that issue raised by Sen. Cheruiyot actually bothers me a little. It cannot be right that since March this year, a court can be condemned and closed and no alternative is provided. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: I did an election petition in Makueni County and I can confirm that, that building was makeshift. The people of Kericho County should not be denied justice simply because a building has been condemned. While at it, I confirm to Sen. Murkomen that out of the five summons mentioned in the letter written to the two Speakers by CJ, three are from the Senate. I respectfully disagree with that letter. Under the Constitution – not even Article 125 – we have a right to call any person, Commission or independent office to the Senate and ask for a report on ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: phone had been stolen from a crime scene involving the former Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere. This matter is very urgent and I hope that we can get some responses quickly and the Judiciary can even get a tent. Madam Temporary Speaker those who were watching the trial of Governor Obado, it is not being done in a building; it is being done in a tent because the Judiciary in Nairobi has found an alternative way to dispense justice quickly during COVID-19 pandemic. If a building is condemned, buy a tent and make sure that the people of Kericho receive justice. ... view
• 13 Jul 2021 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.33 of 2020) by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. I thank the industry of Sen. (Dr.) Zani in preparing these Bills. She challenges all of us to be hardworking irrespective of the problems we have with these Bills. The amendment proposed by Sen. (Dr.) Zani also attempts to comply in Section VII, with the decision of the Judge Mativo in terms of service of processes in Parliament. The previous Section VII was declared unconstitutional in so far as it protected and sought to ... view
• 13 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, the second part interests me a lot in that Sen. (Dr.) Zani seeks to get the decisions and resolutions of this House complied with and a report sent back to Parliament. I remember one of us drafted a Petition seeking to get back the Implementation Committee as one of the Committees of Parliament. Its purpose is to follow up on the resolutions of the Senate in so far as the Executive, the Judiciary and other State organs are concerned. Madam Deputy Speaker, the solution is to get a report through an Act of Parliament as opposed to ... view
• 13 Jul 2021 in Senate: The CSs in the current Government are so busy for Parliament that when we call them, they have something more important than to answer to the people who elected us on respective matters that we have asked. Madam Deputy Speaker, as I support this Amendment, let me reiterate that this is part of the amendment that was done long time ago and suffered the fate of Civil Appeal No.284, Petition No.284 of 2019, that we filed in court. I hope that now that this matter has concurrence with the Speaker of the National Assembly, it will see the light of ... view
