• 9 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I want to make two points. We must definitely support irrigation. Both agricultural and pastoral productivity need to go up and we all support that. The other issue that Sen. Elachi raised is how we should do it in practical terms and what lessons we should have learnt from what has been going on since Independence. A lot has been said here today.

• 4 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, let me begin by congratulating Sen. Kagwe for a very spirited and clear Statement. It makes me proud, having been his teacher. Having said so, there are a few issues that I would like Sen. Kagwe to clarify.

• 4 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Listening to my dear friend, Sen. Murungi expound on this issue of miraa and noting that in one of the past Parliaments, we had a major debate on this miraa issue, would it be in order, using your discretion to bring this matter on a Motion of Adjournment, so that it can be debated extensively by the House? view
• 3 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I rise to support the Motion, I would like to seek some clarifications. I notice that from Week 16, we shall go on a marathon of 13 continuous weeks of meeting and then break at the end of Week 29 to go on a recess for 67 days. In December, we have Jamhuri, Christmas and Boxing days as holidays. We also have new year’s holiday. Are those days counted among the 67 days or the 67 are working days, so that we are not deprived of our normal holidays like the rest of Kenyans? view

• 3 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my sister who has just spoken has made a point about that case involving the Mau Mau and the amount of money that the lawyers are taking from the compensation. I have gone through that kind of experience and know that when you get this kind of compensation through the courts, the lawyers take quite a substantial part of it to your utter amazement. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion is extremely important. I want to refer the House to the Pensions Act, Cap.189, Section 19A. ... view
