• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was concluding. I am glad and have been informed. As I stated earlier that when you have a list of 20 Members and one is an independent Member, then it is problematic. When you also have another list signed by The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: 20 Members and nothing is mentioned about it, then you wonder how is it that our total number is 38. Now we have a list of 40, but no reference is made. However, I look forward, like Sen. Murkomen stated, to the reasoned ruling by the Speaker. I hope it will be here sooner rather than later. Before I sat, I was about to quote Ted Kennedy. He was a Senator before he passed on--- view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you. As I was saying, the reason there was a coup is maybe because we are a little more independent minded than it would be okay in some quarters. As I sit, I will read this---- view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: I do not know what is with these people today! view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am really trying to finish, but these ‘mourners’ who are mourning more than the bereaved keep interrupting. If there was a coup in our party, they are not members of our party. So, they would not know. I am just responding to the point of order. As I said, sometimes it is difficult when you are independent minded and see things differently. However, I want to thank the Senators in the Jubilee Party who had given me the privilege to serve them as the Whip in the House. I know that there was ... view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Here is the quote from Ted Kennedy as I sit: “For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on; the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die.” We may be down, but we are not out. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you. I also join my colleagues in restating almost the same thing. I believe very strongly that there is no reason we should proceed with The County Allocation of Allocation Bill based on the previous formula. This issue has been in the Committee on Finance and Budget for a very long time. I actually remember very many meetings last year, including many breakfast meetings that were called and cancelled, and never really upheld. So, we are wondering if there is mischief in bringing The County Allocation of Revenue Bill before bringing the third generation formula However, I have a ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support this Statement by Sen. Sakaja on what is going on in Nairobi County, specifically the evictions at Kariobangi. It is horrifying when we see these sorts of things happening, especially when they are carried out by the Government. This is a matter of concern because we know it is during--- view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: You can laugh all you want, Senator, and you seem very hyped today; I am not quite sure what is going on. However, at the same time, it is important to realize that we must oversight whether we are in the Majority Party or not. That is why we stand here sometimes to oppose some policies. Allow me to detour here when we hear that seven military officers have joined the Nairobi Metropolitan Service (NMS) that becomes a matter of serious concern to some of us. When you then go ahead and find a Government that is evicting 5,000 people ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: tomorrow. We keep crying here with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. about Solai Dam that killed many Kenyans. We keep trying, but nothing seems to be done because of the level of impunity. The other day in my county we had some millers, Mombasa Millers, who have leased railway land and the lease is valid for another eight years. The county government just come in, burnt everything down and repossessed the land despite them having a legitimate lease. The level of impunity across the country is insane. Since nobody is personally held liable, that is why some people will do whatever ... view
