• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Somebody wrote somewhere recently that freedom is like toothpaste. You remove it; you cannot put it back. We have had the freedom we have enjoyed because we can speak freely about these issues. Let us not make it a do-or-die or as if we all have to agree. Some will disagree. Even in the preaching of the gospel, some disagree. The gospel is still going on. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Albert Einstein said something about peace- “Peace is not merely the absence of war but the presence of justice, law, order of government.” That is the country we want to build. A country that understands that once we have a government, we have justice, law and order. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: I hope that the document that will be unveiled on Thursday is going to follow the precedence and the views that have been given to the Committee; the need for having justice, peace, law and order. Most importantly, that even when you disagree with people, the least you can do it give them a listening ear. It is called Audi alteram partem in Latin. I second. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to be clear that I will not ask for permission to wear reeds and sisal things here because it is going to be chaos and pandemonium. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: This is a very sad story. It is sad that we got to know about this story when we were investigating the Solai Dam Tragedy. There is a county in this country that transported children and left them in a forest at night and the governor is still in office because they have not been impeached. I cannot imagine something that is a worse violation to the rights of those children than dumping them in a forest and leaving them to die. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: The right to human dignity under Article 28 of the Constitution is a fundamental right. The rights of children under Article 53 are also fundamental rights. In fact, Sen. Sakaja and his team are extremely polite. This is not a matter for investigation. It is a matter of violation. If the Governor of Nakuru cannot apologise for the acts and omissions of his officers in order to get a conferment of a city status, that governor is incompetent! We must say so like we did in the case of Solai Dam Tragedy. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: We listened to the narration of children. It used to be said that in one of the tribes in this country, in the olden days when they wanted to bury their dead, they used to take them to the forest and leave them to be eaten by hyenas. I am sure Senators have heard of that. It is very sad. Do you have to evacuate children so that you clean up your city and make it look good? That is unlike Gov. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o who has made sure that the city is clean by physically cleaning it. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Whoever investigates this matter must find something that is near attempted murder or murder because that person wanted those children to be eaten by hyenas. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Seven of them were eaten because they have never been found. What is greater violation of International Law and rights of people than this, yet that person is still in office? I pity the people of Nakuru to have a government that can treat children like that. It is unfortunate. view
• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: We thank the Committee but hope the Government will take action to ensure that when those children grow up--- Hon. Mututho took some of the children as his own and gave them clothes. The Government ought to find a way of making sure that those children do not live with the memory that somebody wanted them eaten by hyenas. It is so sad. view
