• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is very trivial, because if I had a slip of the tongue--- I meant what you have said, okay? view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: So, that is what I am opposing; I am opposing the Senate deciding for the people of the counties as to where they want their headquarters to be. As my brother, Sen. Wetangula, was narrating, we know that it is very expensive to relocate county headquarters and it might not be possible. Even the cases of Dodoma and Dar-es-Salam, up to today, it is headquarters by name; it is only the House of the National Assembly which is there, but all the Government departments are operating from Dar-es-Salam. The same thing is happening in Nigeria. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: I do not want to mention any county; I am talking generally. Any Governor should not be allowed to do this and they cannot get away with it. They must refer everything to the people of the county, and it is the people of the county who can decide whether it is appropriate for them to change their headquarters and whether it is economically viable to do that. Some of the things these Governors are doing are totally wrong. I do not think there has been a referendum or even public participation in Kiambu or any other place to decide ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Muthama in order to say that leaders should not be consulting members of the public to know what they want? We have to find out from people what exactly they need. view
• 3 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am, indeed, pleased to contribute today, something which I have not done in the last couple of impeachment Motions that were discussed in this House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the sentiments expressed by Sen. Kiraitu, as he cited the Constitution which has set the Governor free and also the many other reasons that he has given. I personally feel very strongly that one year in the dispensation,we should not have hurried in impeaching Governors, because that will send a very wrong message to members of the county assemblies, ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. In compliance with the ruling you made yesterday, I wish to make the following Statement in response to a request by Sen. Kembi-Gitura. First and foremost, I stand to commend the Attorney-General for having responded to my very short notice at 9.00 a.m., to appear before my Committee which he obliged, inspite of the fact that he was in a very crucial meeting with the Committee responsible for making recommendations on the workings of parastatals in this country. My Committee was very grateful and we hope and expect other Cabinet Secretaries to follow ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, once again, I really want to thank the Attorney- General who gave us plenty of time and took us through all the problems that he is facing. I cannot agree less with the comments of the Senator. Yes, there are some delays which we have noted. This is attributed to the fact that before these recommendations are sent to His Excellency the President. They are sent to the National Security Committee which takes time to go through them. We have recommended and we will follow up to ensure that it is revised. First, the list should go ... view
• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot be commended? view
