  • 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate a number of the riding questions that have been raised by several Senators relating to my Statement. This Statement touches on security. We are talking about residents--- view
  • 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to appreciate the response given by the Chairman but I also want to agree with Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo that this Statement seems to be absolutely one-sided. I was part of the team led by the Chairman himself that went to the university. The Chairman can confirm that a number of issues were raised when the Committee toured the university. Could the Chairman indicate whether the answer that he has given and the report that we compiled after visiting the universities The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

  • 17 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank the Chairperson, Sen. Kittony, for addressing this serious matter. In this country, the education and health sectors are facing challenges. One of the major challenges in the health sector is that we have very few health workers and professionals in our system. The KMTC has done a very good job. I thank the current team running the KMTC because they have expanded training institutions across the country. In my county, we have two new KMTC that are supposed to admit students starting this September. We are shocked when we have a ... view
  • 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to join my colleagues in thanking and congratulating Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, for the petition he has brought to this House. The contributions of some of these councillors from the defunct local authorities can be seen in our counties today. No wonder most of the counties are collecting far less revenue, than they used to collect. Even with the little resources available to them then, we can still see the track of development in our local authorities much better than we can see from the counties. I want to support the petition and hope that the ... view
  • 16 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this very important Motion. It is a sad moment in this country that as students prepare for exams, they now find themselves out of class. We see a lot of laxity from members within the Executive, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the various stakeholders who are supposed to help us sort out the problem regarding teachers’ salaries. They are not so interested because maybe the children who are affected right now are those of poor parents. The children of the well-to- do are in private schools and academies and they ... view
  • 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Legal Affairs Committee and Human Rights, I want to agree with Sen. (Prof.) Lesan. As we have always done, we can always have one Committee leading the process. However, in the process of consideration of the petition, we will definitely involve the Committee on ICT. Therefore, we should have some good working synergy like we have always done with regard to other petitions. view
  • 29 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in congratulating and welcoming hon. Samuel arap Ngeny to the Senate. He and I come from the same constituency. When some of us were in school, in Kapsabet Boys, the track record that he left as the Principal speaks for itself. He is one the former principals of Kapsabet Boys that mentored many young people in this Republic. Long after he exited politics, he is still one of the most influential leaders in Nandi County. He is a respected farmer and elder. This is something that we need to learn from. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view

  • 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. After taking the trouble to inform the Chairperson and my leadership that I will undertake to bring an answer, did you hear Prof. Lonyangapuo describing me as “an emissary”? I am a distinguished Senator who has taken the trouble to help him obtain a response to a statement. view
