• 30 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for the solid Communication from the Chair. I would like to underscore that the incident that took place in our Committee involving our colleague was an isolated incident. The actions that you and the Committee took demonstrate clearly that isolated incident should not lead to a generalized form of behavior that the governors fear. Therefore, that matter can be put to rest. The other issue that I would like to be put to rest is that of saying that since certain Senators have expressed interest in running for the governors’ positions, they are ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join Sen. Omondi in welcoming these ladies and gentlemen who have come to the Senate for attachment. The team from Kakamega has already been to our committee. This is a good learning process for them. We should encourage this kind of exchange between us and the assemblies because county assemblies are, indeed, our counterparts in the counties. We hope when they go back, they will give a good report to the county assemblies so that more Members come to see us in action, in the plenary and our committees. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while on that theme, some time back, I rose on a point of order and requested that the Senate be briefed periodically on the number of Bills pending in the National Assembly. Remember, after establishing a select committee in this House at the expense of Parliament, gathering information and finally bringing a Bill to this House on harambees, it is now over two years since the Bill went to the National Assembly. My entreaty to try and get some information on that Bill and its fate has come to naught. Can we seek some guidance on this? ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir. I just wanted to draw the attention of the House. If you have read Shakespeare’s Macbeth or Hamlet, apparitions are quite often very much like human beings. So, you cannot rule out that what we see in the House is an apparition of what we know as the Senator from Nakuru, Sen. Njoroge. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. Sen. Obure gave notice that he intends to move an amendments to the Bill on Clauses 3 and 4 but we are now on Clause 5 and those amendments have not been moved. view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill moved by my colleague, Sen. (Prof.) Lesan. Having been a Minister for Medical Services, I can feel and fathom the concerns of Sen. (Prof.) Lesan in moving this Bill. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale also raised very substantial and germane issues. The first thing I want to say is that the issue of doctors who take advantage of the medical needs - which are enormous -of our people, to trade with the bad health of our people is something that the law should help to cure. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, last week as the nation woke up on Monday and as farmers in the area went about their business, one shepherd looking after his cattle was suddenly accosted and his cattle taken by some rustlers who drove from Kisumu County to Nandi County. The shepherd summoned his colleagues in pursuit of the cattle. They captured the cattle and brought them back. As a result of that conflict that occurred because of cattle rustling, a whole sea of clashes started. The facts of what happened should be known. I would like to appeal to the National Cohesion ... view
• 16 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Petition from the people of Kajiado County. When we developed the Vision 2030, it was called a “globally competitive and prosperous Kenya”. One of the pillars of Vision 2030 in Chapter Two of that vision was the foundation for a Socio-economic transformation of this nation. The first item in that transformation was infrastructure. If you look at Vision 2030, it envisaged modern infrastructure as Sen. Kagwe says, that will connect the bedrooms of Nairobi to the city. Nairobi’s bedrooms are in Kiambu, Juja, Thika, Ongata Rongai, Kajiado and if you go further, ... view
