• 10 Oct 2013 in Senate: Much obliged, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion and also to congratulate my colleague, Sen. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion and also to congratulate my colleague, Sen. Karaba. I have to confirm to Sen. Hassan that in the morning we were discussing a Motion to do with cable cars. So, you can only be well travelled to bring such a Motion, and I congratulate Sen. Karaba. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: I do not want to over-emphasize on why this Motion is important and why we need the emergency lanes. I am sure all the speakers who have spoken before me have said that. Secondly, it is something that I think we all know and it is something that as leaders and as people who have ever had the mandate to do this as Sen. Hassan has said, it should have been in place 20 years ago. It is not something that we have to over- emphasize why we need it. I also would like to point out that I think ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would also like to touch on something else which is a bit different; attitude. This refers to our attitude regarding some of the basic things we are talking about; from the leaders to the people we represent. Even now without this lane, there are many times I have seen an ambulance or I have heard the siren of an ambulance from far and you can see some of us just driving on and refusing to move out of the road. Surely, this should be common sense. Even now as we speak and hope that this Motion ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in Senate: midnight or not, so long as the traffic light is red, you stop. Whether anyone is watching you or not; whether somebody is there to supervise you or not; regardless of whatever time of the day it is, you actually stop. It is something that has become such part and parcel of their culture such that when you get there, you actually stop. This is because you could not only be endangering the lives of others but also your own life because you may not be seeing an oncoming vehicle. For me when I was reading this Motion, apart from ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to take this opportunity to also pass my condolence to all the bereaved families and also to wish a quick recovery to Kenyans and other people who are admitted in hospitals and also those who are recovering at home. I would also like to salute all our Kenyan forces; the men in uniform who have shown bravery and courage to protect those people who were at the Westgate Mall. view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Let me start by saying that if the terrorists who attacked the Westgate Mall wanted to threaten us, as Kenyans, and put fear in our hearts, I am one among those who have vowed, that as soon as the Westgate Mall or whatever it will be called will be up and running, I will go to that place and I know that there are many other Kenyans who will not be cowed by the terrorists. As a citizen of this country, I want to congratulate all Kenyans for their bravery, love and care that they have shown during this time ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important for us to know that we should not normalize evil but resist it in the strongest terms. That is what we are doing this afternoon in the Senate. I know that there are hard questions which we will ask later. We will ask the issues which have been talked about by my colleagues, including issues of intelligence and corruption at the highest and the lowest level. That Kshs10 or Kshs20 that we received as bribes could have cost us the lives of those people who died at the Westgate Mall. Do we know our ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: I also take this opportunity to congratulate His Excellency the President for the leadership that he showed during this trying moment. It was something that he led from the front and all of us, as citizens, actually followed. I wept when I saw a soldier carrying a child while holding a gun. I wondered what he would would have done if he was attacked. It is something that really touched all of us as, Kenyans. Whether you are a Member of Parliament or an ordinary citizen, I must say that this is something that has united us beyond our ethnic, ... view
