• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that some registration of deaths and births might not be done properly at the local levels and Bungoma County may not be exclusive. It is a fact that we are seeing in this country. However, that is not under the jurisdiction of the Health Department and the relevant department should address that. It is a matter of concern because I only use data that is available and it can only be available through proper registration. It is unfortunate that I only relied on the data I have been provided in the Statement I have ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I would like to draw the attention of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to the mortality of 2012 which is 10,288. In 2013, it was 6,207; in 2014, it was 6,302 and in 2015, it was 7,204. There was a sharp decline in 2012 but there is a small increase that has hitherto not gone down from 2013, to date. Statistically, it may be very difficult to make the sort of conclusion that he made because I think the standard deviation here is not really significant on that kind of decision just because of the spike of 2014/2015. ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is so unfortunate to hear such an answer. Here is an officer who begins chasing a culprit who has run away from cells and meets many students in games activities and decides to shoot. Where is the value for life? Was it intentional that this officer shot Quinta Amondi? view
• 6 Oct 2016 in Senate: Bw. Naibu Spika, mbiu ya mgambo ikilia kuna jambo. Palipo na moshi hapakosi moto. Wawakilishi wa Wadi wa Kaunti ya Garissa wameleta maombi yao kwa Seneti kwa sababu ya bajeti ya kaunti yao. Hii inatokana na mapendekezo ambayo yamefanywa kwa njia ya hila na kiongozi wao. Nitatafakari mawazo ya Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale ambayo amesema kwamba Kipengele cha 96, kwa mujibu wa Katiba, huenda kisipewe uwezo mkubwa katika Seneti kuwa na nguvu zozote juu ya jambo hili. Hatujui undani wa mapendekezo na maombi yao. Hata hivyo, huenda The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A ... view
• 6 Oct 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. With all due respect, Sen. Okong’o comes from Kisii. Are we, therefore, in order to doubt the messages he is trying to pass to this House? Maybe there is a lot of truth in whatever he has said. view
• 6 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also welcome the students from the University of Eldoret. I remind Kenyans what university is. It just means universal, all inclusive. What is going on in the institutions of Rift Valley is not very healthy. Looking at the students, I am reminded of 1976 when I was a first year at the University of Nairobi. I do not know how old most of you were. However--- view
• 6 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, interpretation especially to the language of English is subjective. It depends on the context under which he understood my statement. view
• 6 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I talked of what is going in the university institutions in the Rift Valley. The HANSARD is there to prove me right. That is the truth. view
• 6 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we as Kenyans and more so, nationalists are appalled and unhappy. Universities in this country should be centres that actually preach not only peace but also ethnic tolerance and total integration of the Kenyan society. I stand by that. It so happens that that is the focus of the origin of that episode. It should stop at that. I believe legislators in this House should be at the forefront in stopping that and not enhancing that kind of practice. view
• 4 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those who were old enough those days know the vibrancy with which the late Salim Bamahriz approached politics. As a voiceof a minority from the coast, he could never be silenced. He spoke his mind. Some of the issues that he addressed have been addressed by the Constitution. Unfortunately, quite a few have not been addressed and especially those issues that were put forward by the first six in the creation of FORD. It is a challenge to the current leadership. My challenge to the ruling party and the Opposition – I want one of the ... view
