• 19 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was a very simple matter for Mheshimiwa Murkomen to withdraw and apologise. It is not about being allowed to create offices like we have been allowed to create offices. It is about the word “bribery”. So, can he deal with that first? view
• 18 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I note those words; “rare.” I am here to support this Motion because it is timely. Nairobi, being a metropolitan City – and I think until the new Constitution was promulgated, it was the only city in the country – now needs special attention, especially on security. It needs special attention because you cannot walk on these streets, especially beyond Tom Mboya Street, without being mugged. In fact, just to emphasize, I was a victim recently. I was actually driving along Waiyaki Way and I slowed down to pick my phone. Of course, I was ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in Senate: That is the kind of life we are leading and we must live with this situation somehow. I think our police force is over stretched, both in numbers and equipment. We must find another way; we have to be very creative. I want to thank the professor for being very creative by bringing up this Motion, preparing us for a Bill that will eventually make this possible. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Nairobi has what I will now call “old crime.” These are burglary, mugging, theft, robbery, rape, pilfering and all those kind of things. But there is also the new crime ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is a matter that is bothering the Chair of Education Committee and I am sure it is bothering all other Chairs of Committees. The Cabinet Secretaries may delay or refuse to co-operate for some reason and the Chair would be roasted roasted for not doing his job, and the Committee would be embarrassed here as the country watches. There must be a way in which the House can assist Committee Chairs in case of a Cabinet Secretary who ignores or refuses to co-operate for unspecified reason so that we can come ... view
• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order to allow a very senior Member of this community of Kenya to attack legitimate business and actually almost destroy it? What comes from the Senate is a very powerful voice of a very senior Member of this community attacking legitimate business of people buying and selling brew and using the emotion of illicit drinks which everybody actually says they are illicit anyway, that we do not want to talk about them. Illicit things should be dealt with illicitly. But now we use that emotion of people who have ... view

• 12 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is my job; to protect my voters, but not the drunkards. If I look at this Bill properly, it is not about alcoholism and how to deal with alcoholism. This Bill is about control of liquor and now he is talking about emotional points like alcoholism which are very complex. This is because you cannot legislate against alcoholism because that is somebody’s weakness or problem and it is even medical. You cannot legislate against it unless you say that you ban the consumption of alcohol. But if you are talking of control or consumption of alcohol, ... view
