• 16 Dec 2020 in Senate: I think that every Member should be given an opportunity at the appropriate time to condole with the family of the late Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. I say this with tremendous The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Dec 2020 in Senate: respect because I hope that this Senate will collect the HANSARD of our tributes and give it to the family when we are laying him to rest. The idea of rushing and everybody speaking in a hurry is not correct. It is not correct that Sen. Kihika is swallowing her words. I thought that we had agreed, perhaps I am wrong, that we will do this on Monday when we will meet over the Tea Bill. This is so that everybody gets an opportunity to speak at the very least, for five minutes, to the pleasure we had with the ... view
• 16 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, before we commence, I will begin with your last paragraph. The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) has not spared the Senate. The way we are seated today is in violation of all the rules. As we sit here, people are coughing, others are sneezing and your Gallery is full. How do we give anybody assurance here that we have complied, yet people are sitting neck to neck on the other side? People are still walking into your Gallery. This is the worst Chamber to have a Sitting with people seated in. We told you that we did not want ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with Sen. Seneta and the six petitioners. However, the situation is better for them. A group of people approached me last over a similar issue. They bought property similar to what Sen. Mary Seneta and six of her colleagues did, in Machakos County. They got a loan from HF Bank. However, because of a problem of loan repayment, the bank has gone ahead to sell the houses, which those people had purchased. One person has committed suicide. It is a sad situation. For example, people knock on your door and say that the property does ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, since you are the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Liaison, the Secretariat might forget because they are not politicians, but the Chairpersons are all politicians. It should be instinctive that members are not invited as courtesy. It has happened even for me in the case of Makueni in the Senate Committee on Public Accounts and Investment (CPAIC). Sometimes they take an afternoon to invite me when the Governor of Makueni is coming. It becomes almost as if they are extending a courtesy. Ideally, the Senator should participate fully in the deliberations not just come to sit ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise first to bring to your attention that this Senate has a question I raised more than six months ago on that Committee. A Statement is pending before the Committee on National Security Defense and Foreign Relations on the formation of that Committee which would have led to the settlement of IDPs.

• 1 Dec 2020 in Senate: Would I be in order to propose that you seek clarification from the Committee on National Security Defense and Foreign Relations on why they have not addressed this issue particularly? Is it because they are afraid of CS Dr. Matiangi, answering that question because the docket is placed directly under him? view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. The Chairman of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights is here. Tomorrow, the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights and the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations will be meeting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of security, and the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC). I think that your direction on this matter will be very important, so that this matter is taken to that Committee as quickly as possible. I agree with Sen. Khaniri. In the reports that are ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: On a Point of Order, Mr. Speaker Sir. Sen. Nyamunga has accused us of castigating the Governor for doing his own things. Now she is saying her own things. Under the Standing Orders if she makes an assertion that Maseno is in Kisumu, she must substantiate using the law; not that she went to school around there. That is not law. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of Makueni County and my family, I pass my condolences to the family of hon. Justus Murunga on his untimely death. Secondly, there is a problem in Western Kenya. My younger brother lost his father in-law, Mr. Wambai from Shianda, Butere, to COVID-19 and the problem is the same. It bothers me that even as we prepare to bury this man, I am told that the idea of functions is a problem. Our family is having the same problem; that there must be food, people to eat, et cetera. I am asking the ... view
