• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, we should thank this Committee for remaining steadfast on this very important investigation. Many of us, even then in Kitui, were skeptical that we would make some progress because of the big players involved. Just to inform you, because of the various interests, they have been spreading all sorts of rumours everywhere, which I shall not repeat here. More importantly, it would be unfortunate if we did not finish this work at least before we go on recess and table the report irrespective of the recommendations. Let us deal with it. Let us just ... view
• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: I support the extension. view
• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I do not know what to think because Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko is the good cousin of Sen. Sakaja. He is everybody’s cousin and relative. Sen. Sakaja must disclose his paternity very well. I will check. I will also support this Report. From the onset, this Committee led by Sen. Sakaja has proved that there is no reason why we should not get regular Reports from any other Committee about matters that they are handling. Secondly, allow me to say that while we thank Sen. Sakaja for a good job, we rarely thank our support staff. They ... view
• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: To advise Sen. Sakaja, it appears that at the onset, we thought that COVID-19 would be something of the past in September. It is obvious that it is not going to happen. In fact, in September, we are going to have the worst of cases on it in the counties. First, Sen. Sakaja and team, in addition to the good work that you are doing, we must continue sensitizing the public that the worst of COVID-19 disease has not happened yet. Secondly, the Governor of the County of Murang’a said he was going to construct a hospital in 21 days. ... view
• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: centre was full within a day. I am informed that when they heard that Waziri, Mutahi Kagwe, was going to Mombasa through Makueni, they went and collected beds from other hospitals just to demonstrate that they have an isolation ward. It is actually a very serious issue. If we had a method of confirming to the country where these isolation wards are, whether we have ICU beds and ventilators, it would be very helpful to us. The case of Robert Burale which Waziri Mutahi had to respond to, and I was surprised that he did not know him---. We had ... view
• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: we find out the effect of the regulations on COVID-19? The policing on COVI-19 is not happening very well, particularly in Nairobi. If there are violators of COVID-19 regulations, it is in Nairobi. The police have given up on curfew and roadblocks have been opened. Therefore, I am not sure whether we are actually saying that we leave Kenyans to the gods. It appears that that is the case. That is very dangerous. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this report. I think the cross-cutting issues and the things that are very important on COVID-19 should be addressed very seriously. The ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My fist comment is that I would have loved to see this Petition coming under Standing Order 44, where a governor issues a statement and it is tabled here through the Senator, but the Petition is good enough. The solutions to this problem have already been canvassed here. Sen. Sakaja and I proposed the Disaster Management Bill. It would handle the disaster that is in Elgeyo- Marakwet, Samburu and many other areas following the tragedy that was in Solai. The solutions are already available. Therefore, the Committee should not look any further because those solutions ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: that Commission is more idle than any other Commission we have ever had in this country. The solutions are available. If they ask, we will give them the material that we have used before. I would like to congratulate the Governor of Nandi for continuously advocating for justice and human rights, and being at the forefront in defending the plight of those people who are being trampled on as if they are not Kenyans. Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Allow me, first, to associate myself with the sentiments of Sen. Orengo, Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Sakaja 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
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: about the plight of the Saba Saba heroes and people who were innocently arrested for peaceful demonstrations. Had the likes of the late hon. Masinde Muliro, the late Hon. Rubia, the late Hon. Shikuku and Sen. Orengo not taken it upon themselves to face the KANU Government at the time, there are many people sitting right in front of me, who would not be here. One is the Senator for Nandi, Sen. Sakaja and Sen. Mwaura, people who I admire because they have managed to come to this Senate--- They sit with Sen. Orengo and Sen. Wetangula at a very ... view
