• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support and commend Sen. Dullo for the Statement which is not only timely, but also very relevant to this time. Sen. Dullo has sought the Statement on a very important issue. I would like to add that this is not a sectional problem anymore, but it is a national problem. It is in every community and county. It is everywhere within the country, to the few and the many. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think that a few things need to be put on record so that we can agree ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 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 Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: responsibility, especially the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, who are very instrumental, together with the Ministry of Devolution, to deal with the establishment of those Huduma Centres. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not understand why we make progress with one arm of what we want to do to modernize society and then retrogress on the other. For example, why was it found adequate and necessary that with just a pin number, you can get all your transactions and services like paying your taxes? Just that number identifies you. If you say your pin number, you can ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I support the Statement by Sen. Dullo, we should not forget what other Members have said. We will have elections in the next few months. As much as we want to uphold their rights, if there are young people who cannot vote because they do not have identity cards--- view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: As I conclude, if we are to go digital, we must also think about voting digitally. The IEBC should be informed about the same because other countries have other methods of voting where you do not have to queue. There are countries where you can vote early through email. Why should we wait for one single day when every Kenyan must come out and queue and wait just for an election that can be conducted digitally by voting early so as to ensure that everybody gets an opportunity to exercise his right? view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: We are now more than 50 million. The IEBC cannot expect the same logistics that were used 20 years ago to apply in 2022. These are some of the things that we should urge the new IEBC team to consider. They cannot use the old rules to play a new game efficiently. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as a laud Sen. Dullo, I urge that those issues be looked at and acted on, so that we have more efficient systems and a better country. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank you for having indulged me now that my friend, Sen. Ngugi, came into the House and I did not get an opportunity to welcome him as the Whip on that side and having come through my party, Jubilee. I briefly want to say to Sen. Ngugi that as my colleagues have told him, indeed, he is not here by fluke but by design. The God that he has praised in so many ways in his Maiden Speech intended that it be that way. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as my colleagues have said, we mourned, and still do, the passing of the late Sen. Prengei. We pray that the Almighty God continue resting his soul in eternal peace. It is the late Robert Nester Marley, popularly known as Bob Marley who sang that when one door closes, another one is opened. That door is opened to usher Sen. Isaac Ngugi into this House. This is a House that upholds the highest standards of debate. This is a House where issues are discussed and debated dispassionately. This House besides the political persuasion that brings us here, ... view
