Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I know that nearly everything has been said about the importance of this Bill. I add my voice to what has been said. This is an important Bill whose success will free the Senate and counties. It will put this nation into the right constitutional implementation path. The Constitution requires that each level of Government is funded and that the funding is guaranteed. It is this House that guarantees the amplification of the voice of the counties---

I will not use Kiswahili. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement. I am speaking here in three capacities; as Senator from Lake Victoria region in Migori County where we have a beautiful lake. We have neighbouring lakes. We are fisher people by practice and behaviour. We know how to live with fish and the fish also know how to live with us.

23 Jul 2019 in Senate:
I want to appreciate the importance of this Statement and congratulate my brothers, Sen. Faki and Sen. Madzayo. They want resources devolved to where an activity is. The issue being debated here is about construction of a building. I do not think that the construction of a building is what we should be fighting over. In fact, Nairobi City County should just have a coordinating office and the Ministry. However, we want to see both operational and substantive matters in the counties that are responsible for fishing. We want to see something important going on in Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, Tana ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I hate interrupting my learned friend, Sen. Kang’ata. However, we are trying to honour somebody we all revere. Is it in order for this young Senator, who probably did not walk in the footsteps of Hon. Matiba, to dilute and imply that other Kenyans are so bad that they cannot come from Murang’a? Would I be in order to request you to ask him to withdraw that and apologise, particularly to Members of this Senate? He should not deface this good Motion by the Senator, who is my good friend.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to add accolades to this distinguished Kenyan. We are enjoying relative tranquility in this country. We are a nation on the march, and I believe we are marching to Canaan and utopia. Currently, the “Handshake” is taking us there. We believe that this journey to Canaan was started by great people in this nation. Most of them have passed on, and we hope that they are resting happily with the Lord. Madam Temporary Speaker, the gentleman we are discussing today, is the one in whose name a Motion to name ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, if it was not for that, even you, as my party leader and official, would not have found your way to this House. We are happy that an opportunity has come before us to make proposals to immortalise the good work of hon. Matiba by naming Murang’a University of Technology as Kenneth Stanley Njindo Matiba University of Technology. Madam Temporary Speaker, I also enjoy remote association with hon. Matiba, since he went to Alliance High School. He was in Smith House while I was in Francis House in the same school. Allow me, just as Sen. Kang'ata ...

23 Jul 2019 in Senate:
We are happy that the Motion that has been brought by Sen. Mwaura and seconded by the Senator for Murang’a, Sen. Kang’ata. Not many of us are likely to come up with things that would describe Hon. Matiba in a scandalous way. If we were to put most leaders under public scrutiny today, there is not much that can be said about them except what they picked that did not belong to them or what they supported that was oppressive to the public. We are happy that this proposal is about immortalizing a person whose career in the Public Service ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, you will notice that Hon. Matiba – like many great leaders – was a person of sacrifice. He is a person who by his own right and through sheer hard luck, achieved a lot. He left the comfort of his success, the glamour of his The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
