• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was only concluding by saying that if you look at the functions in the Fourth Schedule that counties should be performing according to the Constitution and we go carefully through budgetary allocation, we will come to the conclusion that to date, the budget has not honoured the functions in the Constitution that should be allocated to the counties. That can be scientifically proved. Let us forget these appearances that are introducing a debate that does not exist. view

I would like to plead with you to recommit this matter back to the committee in which I am a Member.

THAT, aware that the Government of Kenya has a 29.8 percent shareholding in the Kenya Airways Limited, thereby being the largest single shareholder in the Company; cognisant of the fact that Kenya Airways Limited, the national flag carrier has been experiencing tremendous delays and cancellation of flights; aware that each delay and/or cancellation has led to grave losses to the airline thereby worsening the debt burden of the corporation; realising that the airline is now in debt to the tune ... view
• 14 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was very surprised to hear the Hon. Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Affairs say that a Statement could not be issued expeditiously because the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade was accompanying the President to Dar es Salaam. I thought we live in an age where internet and telephones are available and that the Government should not depend on the physical presence of a person. This matter is of national importance and there should have been a rapid response unit in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ... view

• 13 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support the formation of a commission to look into the issue of boundaries.

Therefore, what is important in the nation is to observe constitutional provisions, that every Kenyan is free to live, move and have property anywhere in this Republic. That is the most important principle. If we are going to think ... view

• 13 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is somebody in this nation called the Inspector-General (IG) of Police and a body called the National Police Service Commission (NPSC). This fellow who entered this House to serve our colleague is an employee of these two people. Why are we going around that fact? Why can you not direct your letter to the IG and the NPSC and ask them to explain to the nation why a very important law was broken in Parliament by an officer in their service? They should explain why it happened, not just to the Senators, but to ... view
