• 9 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Motion for which I have given notice this afternoon intends to address the blunder which was made by Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. The development of this country was skewed towards certain areas which were considered to be productive, against the marginalized areas which were considered less productive. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also a result of the persistent insecurity which has been going on in most of these marginalized areas. There is also lack of employment and other means of livelihood in these areas. As we all know, most of those areas depend ... view
• 9 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry for the oversight. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, noting with concern that the pastoralist areas in the country which are mostly arid and semi-arid continue to lag behind other areas in development due to persistent drought and livestock diseases that decimate livestock which are the main source of livelihood for those regions; aware that insecurity and lack of opportunities have resulted into unending conflicts over the scarce resources leading to a vicious cycle of poverty and underdevelopment; cognizant of the Government’s commitment to invest in and ... view

• 9 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what Sen. Kajwang is saying is very true and very valid. If you listened to me carefully, I suggested how we can come out of that difficulty by putting youths into co-operative societies where they will be financed and will own the crops produced. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. First and foremost, I would like to thank my colleague Senators for enhancing the debate on the Motion and also for supporting it. This is a very good way of leaders of Kenya to say that marginalized areas of this country need help to overcome and alleviate some of the problems they face. The intention of this planned irrigation is to engage Kenyans. When I was moving it, I said that many youths in this country are unemployed and do not have enough land to till or engage in meaningful livelihood. In ... view

• 25 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, first of all, I would like to say that I support this Motion because it is aimed at making the counties function. In my view, we must take step after step to be able to achieve the objective of making counties operational. While ECDE institutions can be managed by county governments because they require minimum supervision and support unlike primary, secondary schools and colleges, it is incumbent upon the Government not to merely transfer and increase the burden of the counties without proper planning and proper arrangement, so that we do not fall into serious problems in ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am raising this point order from the bottom of my heart. I think that it is not in order for us to discuss about the late former President Jomo Kenyatta and also the land ownership of the current President, because it is not only him who owns land. There are many other leaders who own land. So, he should desist from dragging the names of these leaders. view
• 13 Jun 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will be remembered that a few weeks ago, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale sought a Statement on the shuttle visit by His Excellency the Deputy President. I am now ready to give this Statement. But, apparently, my brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, has requested that he be given more time to be able to interrogate the Statement which I am going to give. So, in this regard, I want to get your direction on how I can go about this issue. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this ... view
