5 May 2020 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for an opportunity to make a few remarks on this matter. First, I want to congratulate the petitioners for this Petition. It means that they are patriotic citizens, and they mind and care about utilization of public funds. It is sad that in this day and age, there are still issues relating to outright theft of public funds. If you study the trends the world over, in developed nations, you will find out that audit queries are in the nature of value for money. Counties and institutions do not have audit queries that relate to ...

5 May 2020 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I heard the Senate Majority Leader say that we can debate and then later on have the amendments brought. That is the point that I want to speak to. From my feeling and the feeling of Members, I think that the meat, the substance of the debate is in what we are waiting for. It would not be an efficacious way of using time to debate in a way that will be altered completely when the substance is brought. So, I want to agree with Sen. Sakaja that this debate be adjourned so that when ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, with utmost respect to Sen. (Prof.) Kamar - and I hold her in true respect - is she in order to pile blame on law enforcement officers when they are merely acting on orders of a rogue Government?

5 May 2020 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, just for the record, I have heard my brother and fellow advocate, Sen. Faki say that evictions go on on Sundays when people have gone to church. Is it true that under the COVID-19 regulations, people in Mombasa County go to church? 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.

5 May 2020 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the fact that you have referred this weighty matter to the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources, but a lot of aspects of this matter relate to human rights. That is within the purview of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Would I be in order to plead with you to also find if that other committee can also come in? This is because it is not about investigating the legality of the title deeds or such related matters.

5 May 2020 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank my brother and colleague, Sen. Outa for raising this matter. All counties along Lake Victoria, Elgeyo-Marakwet and neigbouring areas are victims of torrents of rain that is falling in that part of the world. In Migori County, the people of Nyatike sub-county are under siege from flooding rivers and a swollen lake. Migingo Island, Remba Island and other islands are on the verge of being submerged by water. If you go to places called Nyora, Modi, Kabuto, Got Kachola and Ameko, no families are living in their normal homes. They are currently squatting ...

5 May 2020 in Senate:
opportunity to raise a Statement similar to this one. The same questions that are asked by Senator for Kisumu County are the same questions that the people of Migori, Siaya, Homa Bay and Busia are seeking because they neighbour Lake Victoria. You have seen in the media how River Yala and River Nzoia have flooded and people are suffering. We only hear about COVID-19 from the Government. We fear it because it is about death. People should also be concerned about death that arises from other causes and misery arising from floods.
