• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am tempted to think that the Minority Leader ate Kalanjiri yesterday. He could consult me on what Kalanjiri is but--- We should set some standards and targets for counties. There is no need of talking about these things in the abstract. Laws can be very good on paper, but they are only important if they are translated into reality. The only way that I know as a planner on how to do so is to come up with a programme with targets that people should meet. As we used to say in NARC; the Coalition ... view
• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and congratulate the Mediation Committee for doing a good work and bringing this Motion to its conclusion. I believe it will be supported by this House today. From the geophysical and other surveys of this nation, many more counties are going to be endowed with oil production and other petroleum related products. We need to have forward-looking petroleum policy and laws. We need to establish institutions that will manage the extraction of petroleum products in this country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. ... view

• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I disabuse this House of this notion that many Senators are not here. We must understand that some Members are in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the Olympics and others are genuinely out of this country on missions and conferences. Therefore, to give the impression to the media that many Members are absent is absolutely wrong. Let us get the facts right. I think there are some Members who are not here for genuine reasons. Let us deal with the number of those who are here and not to speculate that some Members are absent ... view

• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be brief. I will begin from the point that Sen. Wako made. It is unfortunate that we did not agree a year ago. We did not agree because politics is about struggle and interests. Those who have been interested are those who want to rig elections in this country so as to stay in power. Therefore, what we need in this country, notwithstanding that we have a good law, is a political culture that respects trust, fairness and dedication to public duty. As it has happened since independence for the purposes of “tenderpreneurship” and ... view

• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was thanking the IEBC for having been intransigent. That made us go to the streets to protest and call for their leaving. The Government supported them for some time. They were more intransigent. Finally the whole world realised that there was something wrong in Kenya and the other side came to the negotiation table. That is what I call struggle. If they had not been intransigent, we would not have struggled. We were determined to get an IEBC that would run elections properly. That forced the other side to come to the table and we ... view
