• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I did say that there is, indeed, a leadership in this country in the name of Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta who inherited the size of a province in terms of land. He can use it to resettle the IDPs. That is the fact that I am making. I was saying that 500,000 acres of land--- view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do concur that there is a minimal number of people who inappropriately own land in this country, which The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for protecting me. Actually, they have eaten into my time. But when you say something which is true, it pricks people. So, I am not surprised. Madam Temporary Speaker, the point that I am making is that if we are going to solve the IDPs problem - I am just being very truthful – we must understand the genesis of the problem. You cannot run away from it because it exists in history. The genesis of a problem must be limited to a certain time. In this regard, we are not talking about since Kenya ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the words “peddle” and “drag” are very popular with Jubilee Senators, but I do not think that they are very important words in the English language, in the issue that we are talking about today. We are talking about land redistribution and IDPs. If we talk about that and think that, that is The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: I am almost completing, then you will have time to raise points of orders even in the bar outside. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, one of the things that I think is important in the spirit of Sen. G. G. Kariuki’s Motion is the concern for social deprivation. I talked about this yesterday in this House and I think we really must have a feeling for it as Senators. When somebody lives in a shelter made of cellophane, it is really the lowest level of existence. Right now Nairobi is very cold. Some of us are dressing in three-piece suits for the first time, the standard dressing during the Nyayo period, but nonetheless--- view

• 19 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. But while supporting this Motion, I want us to rid our minds of such myths; the myths that have clouded thinking in developing countries for a long time and which has made it very difficult to have what I call “integrated industrialization” in our nation. You cannot talk of industrialization where there is a big disjuncture between agriculture and industry. In other words, agriculture and industry are part and parcel of the economy. You cannot just deal with industry separately from agriculture, mining or infrastructure. We must see employment being created ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate all the points that have been raised regarding this Motion, both for and against. This is because I can understand the point of view from which they are coming, but I do appreciate the spirit of the Motion. I think that the spirit of the Motion is that the Government should provide a policy framework of partnership with private telephone network providers, so as to make telephony – especially mobile telephony – more accessible to the people. I think that this is the spirit of the Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do agree that the ... view
• 13 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Chairman clarify whether the trip by the Deputy President to the countries mentioned had anything to do with the agenda that came up at the AU? It makes sense if it had something to do with the agenda. Secondly, given the omnibus character of the Statement that the Chairman has given, it looks like the Deputy President had a whole laundry list of issues that he was raising. What was the key issue that took the Deputy President, was it Somalia or all the other issues? Finally, could these other issues which, to me, look ... view
