• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, over a short period they had collected that much and they were wondering what to do with the money because they found that they could no longer absorb the money within one ward. I advised them to grow from table banking to a SACCO. Since I knew little on how to do this, I had to hire a consultant to help them to do it. They have now formed the SACCO which is growing fast. view
• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Hassan should give us peace. The month of Ramadhan is over and it does not mean that he becomes a little bit less religious. The next step from being a SACCO is to become a bank. Most of these banks we see in the world today started from such humble beginnings. The bank De Credit De Commerce Agricolein France started by small enterprises in agriculture and putting their money together and forming a source of capital for financing agriculture. That is what became the bank Credit Agricole. The same can happen with the boda bodas ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to be very brief and to tell this House that nothing is going to happen because the trend is that nothing happens when there are extra-judicial killings. For example, during the post-election violence, a young man called Peter Adiyo in Langas was shot by a police man who took him to hospital and followed him there to finish him. He was seen and a rescuer brought him to Nairobi. Eventually he died because of that shot. The policeman was transferred to Ongata Rongai. He is still working with the police force to this day. Secondly, ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and to draw attention to the mandate of the select Committee 2 (c). While doing so, I would like to express my confidence in the Co-Chairs and my colleagues in the second liberation who have contributed tremendously to reforms in this country. 2(c) states that:- “Recommend legal, policy and institutional reforms to strengthen the IEBC and improve the electoral system and processes so as to ensure the August, 2017 elections are free and fair and are administered in an impartial, efficient, simple, accurate, verifiable, secure, accountable and transparent manner” I ... view
• 5 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in light of that Motion, I will be very brief and conclude. Given what is in the public domain and has actually been proven by court decisions in the United Kingdom (UK) and the Auditor- General’s report and volumes of writings that scholars have done on the IEBC, I hope the Committee will do its work expeditiously when it comes to Mandate No.8 (a)(b). Kenyans do not want to see anyone of those commissioners and the culpable people in the secretariat back in office. This would be an exercise in futility if that happens. Finally, I ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support this Motion and congratulate my voter, Sen. Joy Gwendo, for moving this The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that was at a time when people like my dear friend, “King” from Meru County, regarded the initiative as bure kabisa . Ms. Charity Ngilu did her best. We wanted it to be a sign of encouraging women to enter the political scene. I must say at that election, the number of women who were elected as councilors across the nation increased tremendously. I think it formed the first step that a lesson went to the public that, to assume that women could not climb to the higher echelons of politics was done a big blow. Mr. ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think Sen. Okong’o was not listening to me. I said I was the president at the Makerere University Students’ Guild, one of the oldest students’ organisations in Eastern Africa. It has been headed by many prominent people. Being the president of the guild in those days was like being a head of State. So, when I said that I am not interested in being President again, it is because I have occupied that seat before. So, that will come in my biograph subsequently. Nonetheless, if you look at --- view
• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, no. I said: “it was like being”. I did not say: “it was as being”. It was just like because of the dignity that was accorded that office. These are semantics. When the Mozambique Liberation Front (FRELIMO) was struggling for freedom in Mozambique, the Head of State, Samora Machel’s wife, Josina Machel, was on the forefront. She was only 24 years but was on the forefront for fighting for the liberation of Mozambique. Within the liberation zones, Josina Machel was killed in the forefront of the battle field. To celebrate her contribution in the liberation struggle of ... view
