• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale gave examples. A village administrator earns close to Kshs70,000 in terms of salaries and house allowances, but MCAs are not given house allowance. Many of them had to get houses where they have their sittings. This means that we are subjecting our MCAs to circumstances where they are forced to take funny kind of housing that at the end of the day endangers their lives. So, we must be considerate enough as Members of the Senate while engaging in this matter with the purpose of pushing and getting a working solution. We should not just engage through ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in Senate: this kind of a Motion, but also engage one of the committee of the Senate which will pick up this matter and follow it to the logical conclusion. It is very important because most of the MCAs are learned people. In my county, for example, I have an MCA who has a masters’ degree and he represents Kaboi- Kaptumo Ward. There is another one who is clearing his masters degree. These are people who are learned. So, we cannot demean the status of elected offices. If you look at the tendencies of SRC, I think they are working towards demeaning ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on behalf of Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo to give a notice of Motion to the Department of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government as follows:- view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: THAT, aware that in the African context elders popularly referred to as ‘ wazee wa mtaa ’ have a special place and they are highly respected; appreciating their work in supplementing the work of Chiefs in matters of administration at the locational and village levels; concerned that no form of structured payment is given to them for the services they render; the Senate urges the National Government to establish a fund from which the elders will be compensated for their services. view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to take this opportunity to join my colleagues in passing my personal message of condolence to the affected families. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we, as a country, need to take seriously the issues that arose after the attack on Westgate Mall. This has taken us back to square one. We need to look at the fight against terrorism in this country. How do we ensure that our people in this country are secure? We need to look at opportunities of even getting our security forces organized for purposes of responding to some ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this may not be the right time to point out a number of those challenges that we face within the security sector, but it is important that we make deliberate steps in this House. We should task even the relevant Committees to look at the various security legislations that exist in this country and identify the gaps, so that we do not witness Kenyans losing lives beyond this Westgate Mall case. We should not lose the opportunity to thank the very gallant forces of this country that responded professionally to the attack. We may have lost ... view

• 18 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. I am privileged to be the Vice-Chair of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights. I want to take this opportunity to welcome Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Junior to our Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Committee has a lot of work to undertake. We have the impeding discussions on the constitutional review. The Committee is working on a Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill that will try to correct a lot of the legislations that were passed in the last Parliament, to try and have them conform to the current Constitution and devolution. The ... view
• 10 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that the discussions that have taken place in this House the entire afternoon have focused on only one item yet we have four items. I want to emphasise the fact that one of the issues that we have raised in this Motion is to persuade the ICC to consider the issue of a video link. It was very embarrassing this morning to see the Deputy Head of State being cornered at one of the seats of the ICC and the entire nation was watching. How much more humiliating is it going to be to ... view
