• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to begin by supporting this Motion of Adjournment and thank the Senator for Bungoma County for moving it, the Senate Majority Leader for seconding and all those who have spoken in support of it. Madam Temporary Speaker, Article 28 of the Constitution speaks about dignity of every person in Kenya that must be protected. The dignity of the people who live in the counties, who are being showcased as having been helped and supported--- this afternoon you would see people rushing to those places for token distribution of food, for ... view

• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, today, many years later, the Government still wants to deny when they hear about people dying because of lack of food. This denial runs in the DNA of the Government. What is wrong with saying: “Yes, we own up. We have let these people down and, therefore, let us do some compensation. Let us go there and flood the place with food.” That way, even those who are supposed to be moving out--- For example, you will soon hear that many families have moved into Uganda from West Pokot, thinking that there is more food on the ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is a Report that should be read by all Members. We are all Members of CPA and I want to thank Sen. Were for moving this Motion and Sen. Olekina for seconding it. I recommend this Report to all our colleagues. There is very little understanding of what CPA is all about and it is up to this House and the Houses of Parliament to make clear the rights and privileges of Members who should all be told that this is an important Association. It is one of the oldest parliamentary associations that we ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on the subject matter discussed by the CPA, it has become quite prevalent that these days we speak about current affairs. One of the things that have happened in the world today is called human trafficking. Slavery has come back through the back door in a modern way. Human trafficking has become a big problem in the world and it is being spoken everywhere. However, we have not reached a good solution on how to stop it. Madam Temporary Speaker, many years ago, William Wilberforce debated and finally succeeded in the passage of a law that abolished ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you once again, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is probably the final part of this Bill. Again, it is a very important Bill because it is a human rights Bill. It is a Bill that picks our conscience, so I beg to support this Bill that our sister, Sen. Halake Abshiro, has brought and moved before this House. Madam Temporary Speaker, anything that has to do with human rights especially one that looks at the dignity of a human being requires that we put all our conscience in it. This Senate will do a great job; it will go into ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to second the Motion on Adjournment. I wish all Members of this House, beginning with you, a good break during which we will engage in various national and county activities. I just want to encourage that we use this recess for county visits. Of course, part of it will go to the Devolution Conference. I wish everyone well during this moment. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to second. view

• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have two things to state. I need to know from the Chair, the status of the new Statement brought by my neighbor, Sen. (Dr.) Langat before we lose sight of that. I would also like to make a comment on Sen. Dullo’s point of order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have already made a ruling; to cause the Chairperson of the Committee to be brought to the Chamber. Therefore, we would really love to speak and make our comments when he is in the Chamber. This is because it is good to hear the required ... view
