• 20 Mar 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we will have the answer in two weeks. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 15 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to second and in doing so, make a few remarks and also congratulate the Mover. It is a timely amendment in many ways because after 2013, it became apparent in the course of running county governments, that there were some gaps which could only have been felt once the application of the law was felt. In bringing forth this amendment, it will help cure many issues that we have come across, as county governments have set on the way. In addition, the amendment has touched on a few of those important issues that ... view

• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in supporting this timely Petition by Sen. Kang’ata. It is a Petition whose subject matter affects all the counties across the board. As others have said, as you drive from one county to another or from one town to another, you notice and see the eyesore that is the garbage that is across our counties. In Nakuru, for example, there is this Kioto in London ward that is a terrible eyesore. Beyond that, there are a lot of health hazards attached to lack of good waste management. In bringing this Petition, ... view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at a sitting of the Senate held on the 14th February, 2018, hon. Sen. Moses Wetangula requested for a Statement on the harassment of opposition leaders. The hon. Senator, Senate Minority Leader, particularly sought to be informed on: (1) Whether the Chairperson is aware that the Government has withdrawn both residential security and bodyguards to opposition leaders, revoked the leaders’ firearm licenses and confiscated official cars assigned to some of the leaders by the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). (2) Get an explanation on the reason as to why the Government has resorted to unjustifiable arrests of some ... view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me respond to a few of the issues that have been raised. I also ask for additional time to get answers on the supplementary questions that have come up as a result. On the issue of profiling, the Senate Minority Leader is the one bringing that to the Floor of this House. Nowhere in my answer did I say a Luo. However, it is common knowledge that the people who were--- view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if they had let me finish what I was trying to say, maybe we would get on the same page. Although the Senate Minority Leader has brought up the issue of ethnic profiling, it is also common knowledge because we were home and saw a bit of Television, those who were at Uhuru Park that day. In fact, he was absent and maybe that is why his name is not in this list. view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: In my statement, it is also clear that the firearms were withdrawn as the investigations continue. The purported swearing-in was a gross misconduct for these officers to have attended. We are asking for a little additional time to come up with the answers for the supplementary questions that have arisen. We have also heard from Sen. Khaniri talking about how his security in the village was withdrawn. He should be one of the lucky Kenyans who have security in the village as well as in Nairobi. Most of us do not have that. The point is; he was also at ... view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will do that. view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also wish to add a supplementary question, especially on the road design of the Salgaa/Kibunja Road. We have heard about the measures that will be taken to help reduce these accidents and I have previously been informed that the construction of a dual carriageway would commence very soon. So, I would like to request the Committee to get us an answer, first, on whether that is going to happen. I believe a dual carriageway will probably solve this problem because we have had a lot of deaths in that area. So, if we can ... view
