• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The mention of Zimbabwe for those of us who are old enough reminds us of the struggle for Independence and, indeed, Kenya also had its history on the same. We are proud of the statesmanship the leader of your country. We tend to read a lot of small extracts in this country of words of wisdom from the President of Zimbabwe. We are happy to receive a delegation from that country. Feel welcome in Kenya. view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the latest announcements by the Government on the policy on refugees is that Kenya intends to close refugee camps. We now have a crisis in South Sudan. Have you revised that policy? If so, how many refugees do you intend to allow into Kenya? Secondly, you have said that you only airlifted 800 out of the 4,000 registered refugees in South Sudan. You have also said you want to use road transport in a war ravaged country. What informs your thought on using road transport to bring refugees instead of continuing with the airlifts? view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, sorry. I am referring to Kenyans. view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chairperson has accepted that the magnitude of the questions is too wide for her to tackle now. Is she in order to continue revisiting the HANSARD, when we could save time and accept that she brings the answer at an appropriate time, instead of repeating the questions? view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Speaker, Sir. If you heard Sen. Wetangula humbly requesting for the Statement to be delivered after recess, the fact that a Member has travelled to a far country is no indication that he may not be here tomorrow. view
• 26 Jul 2016 in Senate: That is the information you did not give us. If that is the information, then I am satisfied but just because he went to Poland, it does not mean that he will not arrive here tomorrow. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Bw. Naibu Spika, twajua kwamba kanuni za Bunge hili zinaturuhusu kutumia lugha moja unapozungumza. Ikiwa umechagua lugha ya Kiingereza unaendelea nayo hadi mwisho wa hotuba yako. Ukichagua Kiswahili basi utatumia Kiswahili hadi tamati. Sen. Boy Juma Boy anachanganya ndimi. Anasema Kamati inayo deal. Neno deal ni la Kiingeraza? view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that since this Statement was sought, a lot of water has gone under the bridge. I will, therefore, request that you allow me to make an addendum to the Senate Majority Whip who is now representing that Committee on these issues. In the Statement, I would like to know the following:- 1) How many Kenyans have lost their lives so far in South Sudan? 2) What is the estimated population of Kenyans in South Sudan as per now less the 200 that have been transported to Kenya? view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on Standing Order No.91. Could the Senator for Kirinyaga withdraw his remarks that have thrown this country to bad repute? Those are exceptional words that cannot be accepted in this House. He should withdraw and apologize. view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he talked of retaliation towards Sudanese people in Kirinyaga County. view
