• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make a few remarks in support of this Petition. This Petition has been brought by a very compassionate Member, and he deserves my support. I want to confess that my great-grandfather, Odundo Mbogo, was conscripted forcefully by the British and made to serve in a country we do not know. Unfortunately, his body did not come back and up to date, we do not know where he was buried. If it was not for the generosity of Sen. Olekina’s clan, which is Maasai, part of my family would have ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we ask the Committee to make interventions, it is very important for us to also think about the families of those who served and died. We have families that have been made destitute because they depended on these veterans. We are now talking about the living veterans, but we are not mentioning the dead ones.

• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: In my village, there is a family of a person called Oketch Ogonda whose son perished in Somalia. When his body was brought back, nobody was allowed to even open the coffin. As we speak now, nobody has even visited that family since that happened. The trauma they underwent is very serious. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: I want to ask the Committee that will deal with this matter to know that here in Africa, we love our living and our dead. Let us find recommendations as to how to deal with those who are living, that is, the veterans, and also how to deal with families of the veterans that we lost. view

• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, land is the basis of all manner of freedom. In fact, people talk about freedom of speech and freedom to do anything, but you are freer if you are doing it on your land. In fact, when it comes to freedom to walk naked, you can only walk naked on your land. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: You cannot go to somebody’s land and try to do those things. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: When the Government dispossesses you forcefully, under compulsory acquisition of your land, they actually deny you all manner of freedom. This matter should not be taken lightly. The Committee responsible should know that there are Kenyans out there who had land, but it was taken from them and they are now destitutes. They cannot exercise any form of freedom, even to joke. If somebody came to your office to joke, you would throw them out because that is your office. If you have nowhere to crack jokes, dance and do everything that all human beings do, that cannot be allowed ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request the Committee to which this matter will be referred, to take it very seriously because development is for people.They must take into consideration the people who are affected by the development before it is implemented. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate my brother, Sen. (Dr.) Ali, for this concern about workers. When we talk about achievement of any output, we must be mindful of the terms of service and conditions of our workforce. To talk about a blanket proclamation that all future employments will be contractual is, therefore, shortsighted. Perhaps, those who continue talking about the wage bill and shortage of money do not understand the importance of a motivated workforce. Therefore, as this matter is being referred to the relevant Committee, it would be important to understand what other motivating mechanisms are being ... view
