• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would want to move that we defer the putting of the question to the following day, in which case, the Speaker can then nominate the time when the question can be put---- view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. After discussions with my colleagues and appreciating what is written under the law, I would like to withdraw the amendment. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 14 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to follow the footsteps of all those who have spoken and support the Motion very strongly. I recall that when I first entered Parliament in 1993, we were being paid Kshs23,000 every month. Sen. G. G. Kariuki was there too. I had been working for the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) Programmes and I was being paid Kshs86,000 a month. Therefore, I took a tremendous salary cut to be a Member of Parliament. It is only in Parliament where there is no career path and recognition of how long you have served. It ... view

• 17 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, Sir. Some of us have a gift of attracting the microphone in our direction. In all these Procedural Motions, we are really trying to inculcate efficiency in the use of time. The nation is watching how the House uses its valuable time. Every hon. Member may have six or eight points he or she wants to put across in five minutes. Otherwise he or she could have wished to do so in ten minutes. It is not a competition on the number of minutes you have spoken, but it is on your value addition to the ... view

• 10 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Motion for Adjournment of this Tenth Parliament which has done a wonderful job. I joined the Seventh Parliament in 1993 and I thought that it was wonderful. But the Tenth Parliament has been very productive. That having been said, our colleague, Mr. Marende, is also my neighbor. Kisumu Rural and Emuhaya are neighboring and, therefore, as hon. Members have been wishing him to come back as a Speaker, I will be very happy for that to be fulfilled in the next National Assembly because ... view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to second this very important Motion for the simple reason that we need it. As everybody will understand no Government can run its finances without borrowing. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me add one thing, that borrowing is of two types. One, there is domestic borrowing, which is usually through Treasury bills and bonds; two, there is external borrowing, which can come in many forms. There are commercial loans, grants, aid and also loans from one government to another, or from multilateral agencies to our Government. view
• 9 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion for the same reasons that my friend, hon. Wetangula, has given. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I am going to be the Senator of Kisumu County which is largely dependent on sugar. In my county we have three factories; Miwani, Muhoroni and Chemelil. Miwani collapsed in 1987 because of poor management and rent seeking. Miwani has one of the largest land in that area which has been lying idle since then. There was an attempt by somebody to appropriate Miwani from the people, but I am happy that, that attempt ... view
