• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: I remember in 2002, I was in the United States of America (USA) and I had just graduated. My father had come for my graduation ceremony, but he could not even stay on because they had planned a big rally either in Nakuru or Thika Town. So, I know that over time, they made up. I would also like to acknowledge what former President Moi did to education in our country. As my colleagues said, he was human being and not an angel. He had some positive and negative traits. However, as far as education is concerned, his legacy will ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: 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
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: overstated. For that, I am thankful. I am also thankful for the peace and unity that he brought to our country at a time when countries in Africa were falling apart. I condole with his family, particularly with our colleague Sen. Gideon Moi and also the Member of National Assembly, Hon. Raymond Moi, and the rest of the family who are my good friends as well. May he rest in peace. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I have also been in the House for the last two days and listened very closely to the submissions by both sides. I am quite astounded when I hear Senators talk about the process not being important. What I am hearing is that we should just be rubberstamps, and we should not interrogate whatever is brought to us or question the validity of the process, but just proceed with what is before us. I disagree with that. Even in our Standing Orders, Part 1, Rule No. 2 of the Fifth Schedule says:- “The Senate shall ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, we never got any evidence brought before the House, and it is not for us nor the governor to provide as to whether the issue of quorum was ever addressed. We had the Mover of the Motion at the county assembly say that he was not sure whether the 62 members out of the 92 – which is the two thirds – were in the House. Therefore, when a Motion is brought here and there is question as to whether the quorum was there, then I do not believe that we should have even proceeded without that ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Petition. Dundori forest is in Nakuru County. As my colleagues have stated here, we have an issue across the country when it comes to the very critical and important function of conserving our forests. We also have an issue when it comes to taking care of our citizens and making sure that their human rights are not violated when we want to conserve the forests. As a Government, there must be a balance between the conservation of forests, but also making sure that we are not just evicting people ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: other areas. You have read in the Petition that these people have been in that forest for over 30 years. Therefore, when they are just evicted from the forest one morning, it begs the question of what are they supposed to do, and where they should go. Most of these people who live in these forests probably do not have the resources to wake up and go build a life after they are evicted and carry on a normal life. We must find a way to resettle them, and also understand that we are running out of land as well. ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I beg to lay the following Report on the Table of the Senate today, Thursday 5th December, 2019 - view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Report on the Seminar on Advancing Gender Equality in Kenya held in Naivasha, Kenya, from 15th to 17th November, 2018. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Pursuant to Standing Order No.104 (1), I beg to move that the Mover be now called upon to reply. view
