• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you so much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to also condole with my friend and colleague, Sen. Lomenen, because he is dealing with a very intricate matter that sometimes is quite surprising to many of us. I grew up in this country of ours that we love, listening to how many times cattle rustlers were running all over the place, killing people in the far-flung areas of Kenya. I thought those were people who were very far away, and I did not even have to be concerned about what their lives had become. As a Member who ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first of all, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. Before I make my contribution, I would like to say that the Senate Majority Leader has pronounced himself. I believe that this discussion that we are having in this House is futile. It is an exercise in futility because the questions we have are close to 30. For me, I have not even asked her who are the owners of the financial platform. She is insisting that SHA and SHIF are working. The reality is that everybody in our Republic is talking about how that ... view
• 26 Feb 2025 in Senate: these cattle rustling and killing of Kenyans by outsiders and our open borders is something that we must stop as soon as possible. With these remarks, I hope that the Government will move as fast and as quickly to interrogate this matter. The Government should even think right to come to this House and ask us to permit the Kenyan Defence Forces to go to those areas and try and make sure that we maintain peace permanently. view

• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: With a lot of humility; Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you know we work with Standing Orders and rules. Could you quote the Standing Order that will enable you to table a Paper on behalf of Sen. Hamida? view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Senate Majority Leader and all Members who have contributed. I am shocked at the way my colleagues are behaving and what they are saying on this Floor. The reason I am shocked is because somehow I happen to be advantaged because I have been around this system for the last 25 years. I have been around politicking, taking vehicles to Kabarak to go and see President Moi and beg him to give me a handout, so that I could run for elections. I have seen what happened in 2007 when we came to ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: I hope one day I will join the Government and be with you. However, I intend to remain in the opposition to keep some of you sober and sane. This process because of the training I got when I was a Minister in the Government of President Kibaki, is a process which is handled quietly, efficiently and successfully. When you are going for these positions, you must be able to look at the sensitivities and the issues in all these geopolitical issues of Africa. What have we done instead? We have localized this whole thing as if it is about ... view
