• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to also ride on the Statement which has been sought. I would like to know whether these security apparatus that are being formed by governors in counties will be armed. If so, what is the chain of command for these security apparatus? view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I wish to join my colleagues in thanking Sen. Leshore for bringing up this Motion. I heard him say that he filed his Motion over a year ago, but I hope it was going through the process. Now that it is on the Floor of the House, I support it. The function of the NACC should be devolved to the counties. This should have been done with the rest of the other health functions. This afternoon I wish to speak to matters of policy with regard to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in this ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank you for allowing me to share in the discussion on this very important Motion on security. I want to thank Sen. Billow for bringing this Motion. He has done so before, due to the concerns he has about insecurity in his county. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, terrorism is not only a Kenyan problem, but an international one. It is also a religious problem. For a long time we have been afraid to say that terrorism is associated with religion. There was an article in the TribuneMagazine in New York which said ... view

• 7 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there have been all attempts to contain terrorism in this country using arms and force, but it is also important that we infiltrate all the cells. Infiltration is the key word here. We should have our people within Al Shabaab. It is through this that we can get the information we want without necessarily using arms. Arms and equipment should be second, but first, we must be with them so that we can know their intentions, what they want to do, their strategies and deal with it. As we train our personnel, we should know how ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the petition because of the very serious implications that it has on the population. There are two levels which we would want this Petition to address and come out with some resolutions or the way forward. We expect that this country will assist its civilians by making sure that the precursors of cancer do not come in to our environment. We know that some of the precursors affecting the population come in through the food chain. This is as a result of sub-standard fertilisers perhaps coming from some of the nuclear states ... view
• 15 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I want to state that I support the Motion and I agree with the speakers who have spoken before me on what they have all said because it is all factual and looking at it, easy to understand yet we do not see the National Assembly having seen these very simple and straight forward facts of information. 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 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As I sympathize for myself with regard to my governor, I now realise I am not alone in this. I am joined by my colleagues and I am sure I am also joined by many other Senators with Governors who do other activities which are not commensurate with assisting the public. This is exactly why we desire that we supervise the usage of these funds that we send to the counties in a more thorough manner than we are doing at the moment. We hold political offices which, of course, emanate from the public ... view
