• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: Hon. Prosper Higiro who comes from Rwanda was finishing his six years at the helm of this organisation. This Report is very important. I am delighted to inform this House that following extensive consultations, the Executive Committee of the forum was able to broker a consensus which was subsequently approved by the conference of Speakers and the plenary assembly regarding the appointment of a new Secretary General of the forum. The debate over appointment of the new Secretary General had threatened to tear apart the forum due to competing claims from the Republic of Uganda and Central African Republic. With ... view
• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: communities within the region, subsequent to the various wars that have been fought in this region. Many are vulnerable and so we get concerned. Therefore it is important for you to read this Report. view

• 11 Sep 2018 in Senate: I appreciate that I sit in the Executive Committee of this Forum. I know that there are many members of the Committee but I will single our Sen.

I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view

You may just ask the Mover to reply and we have the question put so that we do not have to deal with it. It is very important that this Committee completes its job. Thank you. view
• 7 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is an imaginary wall between this side and the other side. We might not see it, but it is provided for in the Standing Orders. Before I cross to that side, I must go to the Bar, bow and then cross over to the other side. I am not allowed to take a shortcut to easily cross to the other side. Therefore, apart from this problem – which I think we should follow through – the Westminster practice is adversarial. Therefore, it means one side is pitted against the other. I believe ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to add my voice to this great Statement made by the Leader of the Majority. We should not be seen to be in defence or exchanging harshly with the people on the other side; enough has been said. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is well known that the enemies of devolution have spoken. In doing so, they are going to create enmity with the people of Kenya because, as it has been said, devolution is one of the biggest gains of our Constitution. Therefore, anybody who tries to disturb or demean ... view
