• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: , is not true, because for our colleagues to convince us to pass this Motion as it is, they will have to table facts and law here so as to convince us to pass this Motion as a House. I definitely know, and I am sure that if the Senate Minority Leader rises to move this Motion, he will definitely raise facts and merit that will enable us as a House to pass this Motion as it is. I also want to echo what my colleagues have said, that this House has no mandate to render a law unconstitutional. I ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to echo what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said; that listening to the Chairman of this Committee, it is clear that even he, himself, is not convinced by the answer that the Committee received. So, it is prudent that they go and get us specific answers to those specific questions. An additional question would be; what is the cost of the farmers to have their maize right now in those temporary silos? We know that some of those temporary silos The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, on the same lines, I think the importance of this amendment is to look at the working structure as it is right now. I do not think it is something totally new. We have the police reservists in some of our counties. We understand, just as Sen. Hargura has said, that we know how it works. We know that the majority of the people who have offered themselves to work for the community and to protect the communities or to deal with the security of the communities, most of them do not know how to read ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also want to add my voice to this Motion of Adjournment. We are adjourning at a very sad time in this nation on the issues of insecurity. This is something that we have deliberated on in this House. This is something that is getting out of hand, but my contribution would be that as we break, we should continue with the same messages that unite Kenyans at this very difficult time. We should not be part of those who divide this country in any manner either on ethnic lines or religious lines. We, as leaders ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that this is an issue that we have talked about in this House. This is something that we can proudly say was fruitful. We discussed our various mandates so as to be on the same page with regard to the institutions we have created. Each of these institutions has a mandate and must be respected. Although we have been experiencing challenges as we try to implement the Constitution, it is important that we, as leaders of various institutions, talk to each other and not necessarily at each other. We have seen the fruits of ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues and fellow Kenyans to send my heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Sen. Kajwang and also to wish his father a quick recovery. I also pray for the family that they can go through this time and get comfort. I must say that I am very privileged and I am happy that I was able to meet and interact with the late senator in this House. I would also like to say that I know many Kenyans, even if you never interacted at a personal level with the late Sen. ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my point of order has actually been pre-empted. I wanted to ask whether we could ask the Member to withdraw so that we can move on with the discussion this afternoon. view
• 21 Oct 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to know whether the Senate Minority Leader is in order to contribute to this Motion when he has said the address by His Excellency the President to Parliament was a waste of time. He has been contributing all this time and yet he holds a contrary view about the speech by the President? view

• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my intervention is that the Chairperson of the Committee on Education needs to give us a comprehensive policy from the TSC on how this issue was handled and not as casually as it has been presented saying: “Two or three teachers.” We need a clear policy statement on how staffing is done for the remote areas because these children have to sit for exams and are expected to excel just like children from other regions. view
