• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Hon. Cabinet Secretary, with regards to the first two parts of my question, you have indicated that you need more time. Perhaps, you could indicate how much time you need for us to get these responses. You have also confirmed to me that the co-operative society sold this land to a private entity. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a follow-up question. The last time that the Cabinet Secretary was before this House on 27th March, 2024, we had a conversation here and I was happy with what she said regarding revocation of the title of the land on which Tom Mboya Social Hall sits. I took the initiative to write to the Cabinet Secretary. In fact, when she was here, she promised us that she would revoke the title that had been given to a private developer and return that land to the Nairobi City County on behalf of the people of Nairobi. ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, Sir. I can already hear objections from behind because apparently the alumnus of Kenyatta University (KU) is seated behind me. However, I want to challenge them that they should move closer to the Speaker as I have done, so that it is easy for you to catch their eye or for them to catch your eye, so that they can also be welcoming delegations. I am sure they can trust me with just welcoming students from KU even if I did not go to KU. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like them to confirm if any ... view

• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to make a brief comment on the statement that has been sought by Sen. Beth Syengo. A few days ago, I accompanied the Member of Parliament (MP) for Kamukunji to the office of the Inspector General (IG) of Police, Mr. Douglas Kanja. We were discussing the spate of murders across the country. I want to persuade my colleagues that this is a national security situation. It is not just something that can be defined along the lines of gender. In the past few days, we have also seen victims of the male sex being brutalized ... view
• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: How is it possible that people are encouraged to do such things? Where is this place in Sen. Osotsi's county that you can hide somebody for hours, torture and cut them down, piece by piece and nobody knows or hears anything? Even when the body is found, suspects are not arrested immediately. I am happy that at least the IG of Police assured me that in all these cases, they have very serious leads. True to his word, I can see that they have been making arrests in some of those cases. I continue to encourage the police, because it ... view
• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to confirm that these two top schools in Nairobi are the first schools to be welcomed to this Chamber by three Senators in a row. It is in recognition to their outstanding performance. Kianda and Starehe do not need introduction to anybody in this country; they are top institutions. view
