• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I heard my colleague, the Senate Minority Whip, wonder why a Clause that makes so much sense in terms of the proposed legislation would be deleted by the National Assembly. I want to inform him that the mention the word Senate elicits unbelievable reaction from our colleagues in the National Assembly and it even happens when they are amending the law. Yesterday, some Senators and I sat in the Committee on Mediation on Roads and Transport. The mention that a Senator‟s office be allowed to propose two members, appointed to that committee through an Act ... view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to inform my colleague that he should not be surprised with the kind of reaction that he will get. However, we must stand our ground for the Senate to occupy its space and for it to be mentioned honourably. view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to join you in welcoming our visitors today. On behalf of my colleague from Laikipia County, who is not present and with whom we come from the same belt, I take the opportunity to welcome the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) of Laikipia County, acknowledging that this is a prime time. It is a good time for the MCAs to come to this House; a time when we have received reports from the Auditor-General that show the performance of counties across this country. Laikipia is one of the counties that has been scheduled ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. If somebody wants to sell imported processed milk for babies, we will not be surprised to hear that there is a ban on breastfeeding. It is a shame. If you go to any supermarket in this country, the highest and biggest selling cliché is „natural products‟. Everything is labelled natural and that is how people buy the products. The most basic science that we learnt when we were young was how the natural ecosystem works. We were told that a plant rots then turns into manure. From this, it is the weakest in the society, ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. As I welcome all our visitors this afternoon from all the institutions that are present to witness and benchmark with the Senate, I want to take the opportunity specifically to welcome the delegation from Kiambu County here as the Senator for Kiambu County. We have made a resolution in that county that we are changing the face of the county by beginning to change the attitude our people have had towards education and restore the glory of Kiambu County to where it was when education came to this country. I want to ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. My intervention is on the Statement by Sen. Sakaja of Nairobi City County. Now that the Senator for Kericho County has withdrawn the rumor, the Chair should have sought further clarification as to how you withdraw a rumor. But I do not want to get there. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the Statement that was made by Sen. Sakaja. It may interest Sen. Sakaja and other Senators that a few years ago, I undertook a project to build toilets and sanitation facilities for inhabitants of Mukuru kwa Njenga and Shauri Village. The point I am ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 Mar 2019 in Senate: have people living in rivers like boatmen and a country considers it dangerous for them to live there because there is going to be a hurricane, what they do first is to mitigate how and where they will relocate those people. So Madam Temporary Speaker, when we are talking about making sure that those people are safer, that there is that wayleave that is clear, can the first issue be where will those people be relocated to? When there is a comprehensive plan to take them there, then remove them and show them where to go. That has to stop ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as the dress code of the Senate and Parliament is concerned, the definition and clarification is that a male Senator or parliamentarian who comes to the Chamber should be dressed in a tie. I am in a tie and properly dressed. We have had this discussion here before, if you indulge me just for a second. The question has been and was: Can a Senator dress like Sen. (Eng.) Mahamud is? He has been allowed to come in with the religious hat because of his religion. Lady parliamentarians also brought the issue and asked whether ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only determination that you have to make in that case, which would be an exception in my view, is whether the interpretation by the Senate Majority Leader on the length of the sleeves of a coat, which he described as a half-coat. I am in a coat and the length of the sleeves of the coat should not be the issue. view
