• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to welcome our colleagues from the ICGLR and also my constituents; honourable MCAs from Migori County to this august House. The presence of our international equals is a testimony that the culture of democracy is being deepened in Africa. Scholars who have written about liberal democracy indicate that if you want to know that democracy is with us; see what your neighbours are doing. Therefore, their visit is a testimony that in the continent, we are democratizing, practising and are doing well. To my colleagues from Migori County, welcome to ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join my fellow Senators in condoling with the affected families for the loss that we have suffered as a nation and they have suffered individually as Kenyans. The accident is a wakeup call to us that our early warning system is failing. It is an indication that we do not have disaster mitigation and management programmes. 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
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: As we look for a solution, we must find out what happened to the Inspection Department of the Ministry of Education. The disaster is an indication that all over the counties, constituencies and wards, we should expect that kind of failure if we do not activate our early warning systems. The responsible inspection unit should also be held to account for not being vigilant and watchful and allowing that kind of potential danger to continue unabated. view

• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I have been trying to catch your eyes. I do not know whether I am visible from here or should I move there? view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make a few remarks on this topic. There is a book in the Bible called Lamentations, which was written by Prophet Jeremiah. You can see Senators lamenting. Before I read that book, I also read somewhere that you are the leader of this Chamber. You are our Speaker, and we are truly behind you. I also read in the--- view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Speaker, Sir. I read in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 that the Leader of the Senate is the Speaker. Mr Speaker, Sir, I believe that the Leader of the Senate is the one seated before us, and that we are addressing the House through the Leader. I also read in the Standing Orders that, that leader is assisted by the Majority Leader, Minority Leader and various Whips. That is the team which leads this Senate. You have the lamentations from hon. Members, meaning that your followership are lamenting that this House is being rendered irrelevant. Now, if ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr Speaker, Sir, tell us how we are going to deal with the rogue Executive; tell us how we are going to deal with the National Assembly. If you do not tell us that, then you are likely to end up with the followership who have given up, and you are likely to end up without followership. I don‘t envy the position in which you find yourself, but as a leader, you must find a way forward. You must lead us to freedom, justice and fairness. The whole nation is looking up to us. Individually, I do not like losing ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to sincerely thank you for this opportunity for making the people of Migori know that I am in Kitui. If I did not speak to this Motion, it would not be on record that I was here and working for them. Thank you very much. I doubt whether I will around 47 years from today to come back to Kitui and speak the same, I am really excited. We cannot do the same thing the same way and expect different results. It was illegal and unconstitutional for the National Assembly to dump ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: illegality. Suggestions have been made that we should amend the Constitution, and I think so. The suggestion made by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. will not fly because we cannot amend it here. There is a constitutional moment that counties na watu wa“Punguza Mizigo” are also talking about. We must go the popular way. We should meet the CoG and amend a few things that will help the counties and also the Senate because we have to do the job of Senators. None of us would like to be president and if we would like to be, it seems to be ... view
