• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker, I support. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. The Senate Majority Leader seems to be discussing in low tones a matter that is actively before court. I believe that he is representing one person who has been accused of attacking her party and is misusing this platform to advance that matter. Is he in order to bring a matter where he is actively interested in, in court to be discussed here when others do not have opportunity to defend their parties here? view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also join you and my colleague Senators in welcoming the delegations who have come to learn from the best House. I congratulate them on picking the Senate and a local learning institution. Most assemblies choose to benchmark beyond the borders and it is hard to domesticate that kind of knowledge We welcome them and hope that whatever they learn from us will be useful. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have been listening to my good friend, Sen. Cheruiyot and he has been talking about politicizing the war against corruption. He cited the Multi-Agency Team, which I believe comprises the DCI and the DPP and he has reckoned that they are political offices. Is it in order for him to mislead the House that the holders of those offices are politicians like us? view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to laud my colleague, Sen. Malalah, for bringing this very important subject. Section 117(c) of the Penal Code is very clear. All of us are precluded from threatening officers who are enforcing the judicial process. The kind of rhetoric that politicians in this country are issuing, particularly those who enjoy immunity and privilege of office, is threatening. They use the privilege that is given to them by virtue of the taxes that they purport to defend to threaten officers who are doing patriotic work on behalf of the public. That shows that there ... view

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: I support this Statement. I urge the politicians, me included, who defend their people when we know that money has been lost or those who say that their communities are being targeted, to wait for their day in court. They can go to court and show that the processes were instituted on the basis of malice, ill will or that they were politically instigated. That is possible and a case in point is the former Member of Parliament called Githunguri. When he was prosecuted, he raised the matter in court so many times and a nolle prosequi was brought because ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to make remarks on this matter. First, I congratulate my colleague, Sen. Faki, for raising this fundamental matter. I have heard an occasion to discuss this concern informally with the Managing Director of KPA. I did so because we went to school together. We also later studied for advanced degree together. The information that I was able to get from him, is that we need, as a nation, and particularly as the affected region, to prepare to make our port services competitive. There are ports that are being modernized in Dar es ... view

• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: services, then we are likely to lose business, as a nation. That would negate the strategic position that our country enjoys, having Mombasa, as a port, and also having access to Eastern Congo, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. I know as these changes are being implemented, there may be short-term hiccups. I encourage the county governments of our coastal counties to prepare to adjust to these changing times. I believe this introduction of technology, Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) included, is intended for the general benefit of the nation. As we adjust, we should be able to also benefit these ... view
