• 31 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order 46(2)(c), I hereby present to the Senate the business of the House for the week commencing Tuesday, 5th June, 2018. Hon. Senators, before I speak on the issues relating to Business of the House for the coming week, I take this opportunity to acknowledge and commend you for participating in the Third Annual Legislative Summit held last week from 22nd to 25th May, 2018, in Mombasa County. It was an enlightening summit and we look forward to continually engaging with the county Assemblies to ensure that devolution works. Turning to matters ... view
• 30 May 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also wish to seek your indulgence. I know we have passed on the Order Paper, the notices of Motions which was Order No.6. If you would be agreeable, I wish we would go back to that order so that I bring my Notice of Motion. view

• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.46(2)(a), I rise to make a statement on the Solai Dam Tragedy that has caused havoc, deaths, loss of property, livelihoods and generally disturbed the normal operations of the people of Subukia in Nakuru County and Kenyans in general. This tragedy has, indeed, pricked the conscience of every Kenyan. It is a matter of grave concern. I kindly request that hon. Senators be upstanding and observe a minute of silence in honour of the departed souls. view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, hon. Senators. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Thursday, 10th May, 2018, Kenyans woke up to the tragic news of the Solai Dam Tragedy which had swept away villages on Wednesday night. The privately owned dam broke its banks at around 8.00 p.m. on Wednesday night and it left 47 lives lost - most of them being small school-going children - in the most unfortunate circumstances. Over 500 families are now homeless with orphans and destitutes among them. Majority of these people who had their own habitations, whether own homes, rental or farm quarters, are now camping in tents ... view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In conclusion, what compensation will the farm owner undertake in regard to the environment where trees, vegetation, top fertile soil was washed away and land left bare? Rocks and boulders are jutting out as well. Previous arable and productive lands now look like a desert. Disaster occurrence anywhere causes panic, confusion, huge loses and hence demands decisive and prompt responses. I look forward to what is coming on the Floor of the Senate, which is the National Disaster Management Bill, which will help us bring sanity to such situations. view
• 15 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could I have an additional three minutes and I will be done. Disaster occurrence anywhere causes panic, confusion, huge loses and hence demands decisive and prompt responses. The Senate and every Kenyan needs to ask if the speed of response by the national and county governments is appropriate whenever a disaster occurs. When we have fire outbreaks, road accidents, drowning or buildings collapsing in Nairobi and elsewhere, do we respond in time and as prepared? Is the country’s disaster response up to the expected standards in terms of personnel and equipment? These are provocative questions, lamentations ... view
• 9 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson is not here but I will stand in his place as a Member of the Committee. I will follow up on that. We request for two weeks to get a response to the House. view
