• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also concur with the enthusiasm aired by my colleagues that we all have to contribute to this Bill. I am also heavily inclined to remind my colleagues to remember that this is a Bill that concerns counties. As we debate the Bill, we need to be mindful that most Senators are in, but may be going out. At voting time, we need the requisite number of Senators. So, we need to balance the two so that at voting time, we have enough Members present to vote and pass this Bill. We have the numbers ... view
• 5 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion and strongly so, just like my colleagues. I am one such person who has gone through life from education and from my background in a lot of hardship. I know what it means not only to struggle to have one’s school fees paid, but even to have those certificates released. Thus, I would speak from experience. Indeed when a young person has graduated from high school and is probably seeking greener pastures or employment in any section or sector of our country without much support, because as it ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I kindly request that you allow us to bring that Statement to the House in a week’s time. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter is one of the agenda that we discussed. We had summoned the Cabinet Secretary, Roads, but did not appear. However, we got communication that he would be present in our next meeting. We can undertake to have this Statement issued here in a week’s time. That is next week. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. This House has heard the name of my county; Kiambu County has come up several times in the course of these contributions of the Mover, Seconder and Sen. Kembi-Gitura. In Kiambu County, we have experienced first-hand what it means to have this confusion; the cost of it and the implications by and large. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this may look like it is a small issue, but it is not a small issue. Since Independence, most of these towns which were then designated to be the headquarters of the counties ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 May 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I support firmly the names of distinguished Senators who have been proposed to sit in this Committee. I support them because I am one of the Senators who had the privilege of being appointed by this House to sit in the last Committee. I want to encourage my colleagues and tell them that indeed they are equal to the task. It is an onerous task because when I sat in that Committee, a lot of intimidation happens, a lot of gerrymandering, people looking for you so that they can compromise you ... view
• 23 May 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. That assurance is necessary because that trend is very worrying. All in all, I support the eleven Members who have been appointed by this House to do the honourable duty of ensuring that justice prevails as far as charges concerning the Governor of Kericho County are concerned. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 23 May 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senator for Kakamega, this being a House of records and being a House that debates above board, we do not speculate in this House--- view
• 23 May 2014 in Senate: He has the right to say anything he may want to say as long as it is something he can stand by. He said clearly that the President gave instructions on phone, but he was not there to hear that telephone call and he cannot substantiate that. So, it is not right for him to make those kinds of allegations in a House that is dignified. He is out of order. view
