• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will speak very briefly so that most Senators can also have an opportunity to speak to this Motion. I just want to say a few things in support of the Motion. In line with what Sen. Ndiema has said, if we do not protect our water resources, we, as a nation, stand to lose a lot. I have seen how fishing in Lake Victoria has been affected by pollution, not just by the presence of hyacinth in the lake but by the quality of water in the lake for that matter. Quite a number of ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: No, no, no, Madam Temporary Speaker. I said ‘Hugo Chavez,’ not “Rachel Shebesh”! view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: Having said that, Madam Temporary Speaker, let me try and make the following proposal. I agree that we need to look at the conditions of work and service for teachers. That is the most important issue. Indeed, we need to do this in a bipartisan way because this is a national problem. The solution will come from a bipartisan process. Madam Temporary Speaker, in a bipartisan solution, you will realize that there are two areas in which we have had a lot of Commissions since Independence; it is the area of education and land. I remember soon after Independence, we ... view
• 26 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the hon. Senator correct to say that those who have talked about the laptop issue are criticizing the Government when I have made it very clear that we are making a proposal as to where the amount of money that is to be paid to teachers can come from? All that the Senator can say is to propose where other funds can come from. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. I am very happy with the appointees. They are excellent executives whom we know will perform. But in two minutes, I want to make one statement. There are a number of square pegs in round holes in the whole set of 26 proposals. The President has given us excellent proposals but then he has picked some people from their waters and taken them over, assuming that they will be equally effective. That means that he is treating those other areas as training grounds, maybe, for six ... view

• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Is the hon. G.G. Kariuki, who is my student and my friend, in order to call me Nyong’ when my name is Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o? view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: That is a good student, indeed! view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Motion by my friend, Sen. G. G. Kariuki, Senator for Laikipia, a veteran politician, former Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security in the Nyayo regime. I will begin by debunking one falsehood. Yes, democracy says that when elections are held, winners are upheld while the losers accept the elections as legitimate. However, that only assumes that the elections were free and fair and truly competitive. When the elections are not competitive or semi-competitive, the consequences do not follow because choices have consequences. When it is non-competitive or ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, hon. Wamatangi was advancing an argument, but not a point of order. However many times you shout a lie, it will never become the truth. The truth in Africa today – I am not referring to him. I am just making a statement and so do not feel guilty – is that we are having leaders, who once they lose, persist to stay in power. This has happened in Zimbabwe, Cote d’Ivoire and much nearer home, there was a recent experience. Let me now come to the issue of IDPs. I congratulate my friend, G.G. Kariuki. He ... view
