  • 3 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank hon. Senators for supporting this Motion and actually even foreseeing the need for some amendments as per what has already happened. As you know, we have already gone for recess; Week 7 we were on recess. This was recommended by Sen. (Eng.) Karue and it is already in the draft. The other thing which I would like hon. Senators to see is that if you look at Week 15 and Week 16, the recess has 32 days. This means that when we break on 1st August, we will be back on 3rd September. This means ... view
  • 3 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I support this Motion which has been brought by one of the most experienced leaders we have in this House. This is someone who knows the history of this country. As I start, it is good to note that many parts of this country are more developed simply because the law favours them more than others. It is good that the Mover of the Motion had conducted his research very well and stated all those facts here. I represent Kajiado County in this House. Therefore, I equally need to talk about the ... view
  • 27 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Senate Majority Leader and pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.43(2), I beg to present the Senate business for the coming week:- (i) Tuesday, 2nd July, 2013 - The Rules and Business Committee will meet on Tuesday 2nd July, 2013 at 12.00 noon to schedule business of the Senate for the week commencing Tuesday, 2nd July, 2013.

  • 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. I happen to come from Kajiado County where Athi River itself has a source. In those early days in our Geography classes, we used to say that the start of Athi River is called River Galana. Unfortunately, if you try to trace where River Galana is, you will just see a dry bed with raw sewage. I remember those beautiful days where we could learn that the largest river in Kenya is Tana River. If you went there, you could see beautiful sceneries with meandering rivers, beautiful water and plants ... view
  • 25 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion from the outset. When I imagine how my county is and go back to the Speech by the President, I find that the only way we can be effective and efficient as the President had put it is by supporting this Motion. It has been said a lot that our Government normally comes up with the best way of doing things. But out of the budget allocations, 40 per cent goes to waste. However, if we adopt this Motion, we will improve on that line. We will become very efficient and ... view
  • 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also thank the Mover of the Motion because I can see that he has done thorough research, only that he has been out of Parliament for many years. I support and second the Motion. Even though the Mover of the Motion described the IDPs the way they were described by the former Attorney-General, Amos Wako, I would want to personally describe IDPs as people who may have been shifted from one place because of political reasons and they have never gone back to the same place. In that regard, I would say that the ... view
