Gideon Mbuvi Mike 'Sonko'

Sen. Mbuvi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this being my county, I rise to support this important Motion by Sen. Karaba. Indeed, it is true that the expansion of our road network within the capital city is not only going to decongest traffic snarl ups that we experience in Nairobi but...

Sen. Mbuvi Under my patronage as the Member of Parliament for Makadara and the patron Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) , I managed to construct 37 roads leading to the city centre.

Sen. Mbuvi Just within my former constituency. Those roads include “Sonko”, Dunga, Bunyala, Dar-es-Salaam, Aoko Roads and so on. I wish I could have come with documents so that I table them before this House. I rest my case and support this Motion.

Sen. Mbuvi Hoja ya nidhamu, Bw. Spika wa Muda.

Sen. Mbuvi Bw. Spika wa Muda, ningeomba Seneta wa Mombasa aondoe neon “wizi” na kutumia neno la kisawa.

Sen. Mbuvi Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for a Senator to display placards of whatever form in the House on the head, on the chest or whatever else? (Laughter) On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

What is it, Sen. (Dr.) Machage?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for a Senator to display placards of whatever form in the House on the head, on the chest or whatever else? (Laughter) Sen. Mbuvi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have not displayed any placard on my head, but these are messages. I...

Order! Just a moment, Sen. Sonko! For the benefit of Sen. (Dr.) Machage and for all Senators, I can actually confirm that the matter was raised in the Tenth Parliament and the then Speaker, hon. Marende, made a ruling that it was actually proper for Sen. Mike Sonko to display...

Sen. Mbuvi

Sen. Mbuvi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to raise a procedural issue. I have no problem with what the Senator for Nairobi County is saying. We all said that, as a Senate, we are not afraid of anything or anybody when it comes to issues of national security. However, as...

Sen. Mbuvi Order, Sen. Sonko! When the Speaker has responded to the points of order, you do not have to. Hon. Senators, let us give Sen. Sonko two minutes to finish because he has been interrupted a lot. Sen. Sonko, I want to urge you to desist from inviting more...

Sen. Mbuvi On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Mbuvi Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are discussing a very serious issue. Have you noticed that my colleague, Sen. Sonko, has spoken in all languages possible, against the Standing Orders? Could you, please, put him on track? An hon. Senator: Wacha aonge Kikamba pia!

Sen. Mbuvi(Loud consultations)

Sen. Mbuvi Tulipeana information hii kwa upande wa wachunguzi. Sitataja majina. Lakini niko tayari kutoa ushahidi kwa kuwaleta watu ambao walinipatia hii information walipokuwa wakiendelea kupanga mashambulizi haya na walitaja Westgate Mall, Village Market, National Assembly na KICC----

Sen. Mbuvi

Sen. Mbuvi What is your point of order?

Sen. Mbuvi : I am clarifying what they have just debated on. On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Sonko, you must appreciate what the Speaker said earlier. The more you interrupt debate, the more people will go without contributing this afternoon. Sen. Mbuvi On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My colleagues have mentioned about Eastleigh which is within my county and they have also...

Sen. Sonko, are you on a point of order or clarifying something? Sen. Mbuvi I am clarifying what they have just debated on.

Raise a point of order, if you have one. Sen. Mbuvi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since Eastleigh is part of my county, we want Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to clarify why he is mentioning that these guys are in Eastleigh. We want evidence from him and if he has any then,...

Sen. Sonko, you had already said that. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I am holding your time but several issues have been raised. Do you want to clarify anything or respond to those points of order? How do you want me to go about this situation?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not see anything out of order but so that nobody thinks that there is malice in me, may I prick their conscience by saying that our colleague in the last Parliament, hon. Hassan, is today in the wheelchair. He was blown up in Eastleigh....

Sen. Mbuvi Bw. Spika wa Muda, nilisema kwamba tukiwalipa watu mapato duni, watakuwa wanaendeleza sera za wizi. Sikuita mtu mwizi.

Sen. Mbuvi Hoja ya nidhamu, Bw. Spika wa Muda.

Sen. Mbuvi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard Sen. Kagwe refer to me as a “guerilla” while I was the first one to arrive in this Chamber. The front door was closed and I was seated inside this cube making calls. Can he withdraw and apologize because I am not...

Sen. Mbuvi Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am satisfied.

Sen. Mbuvi But, Madam Temporary Speaker, as a result of these teachers teaching our children and grandchildren--- I heard the Leader of Delegation from Homa Bay say that there was somebody who was crying in the papers. It just shows the depth of the emotions of this matter. Madam Temporary...

Bi. Spika wa Muda, ikiwa neno “wahuni” halieleweki vizuri, basi sijua ni tumie neno lipi. Mtu ambaye anasema hayaelewi maneno haya hafai kuaminiwa. Mkataba kati ya Serikali ya Kenya na Urusi uliyotiwa sahihi na Rais Uhuru Kenyatta ni halali kati ya mataifa haya mawili. Ikiwa ninaweza kuwa Waziri na niseme...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. There is no single person sitting in this Chamber today, who can adequately enumerate or even evaluate the true value of a teacher in this country. Teachers are invaluable. Their services are extremely important. I...

on strike because there was a proposal to build a house for a particular ex-President. Teachers have gone on strike because of very simple reasons. They went on strike so as to be paid dues that they think are due to them. There is no parallel to that. We cannot...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. The rules of debate require that a Senator be responsible for the accuracy of his utterances. Could the Senator make it abundantly clear whether he would rather that the teachers of Kiambu County are not given a salary, but instead laptops go...

Sen. Mbuvi

Sen. Mbuvi(Laughter) June 26, 2013 SENATE DEBATES Sen. Mbuvi Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a digital Government and we are in a digital era. Those who are opposing the laptop initiative by the Government, I think they are lost---

Is that informing or updating her? Sen. Mbuvi I am informing her, Madam Temporary Speaker; I am not updating.

Sen. Mbuvi Order! Order! (Sen. Karaba stood up in his place)

Senator, you are now debating. Sen. MbuviSen. Karaba, what is so out of order?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Is the hon. Senator correct to say that those who have talked about the laptop issue are criticizing the Government when I have made it very clear that we are making a proposal as to where the amount of money that is...

Sen. Sonko, apart from clarifying that, I ruled that you must withdraw that part of your statement. Sen. Mbuvi Madam Temporary Speaker, I am withdrawing but what I mean is that we should not politicize the laptop initiative by the Government. The reason why I am saying this is because...

Your time is up.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Because of time, I will be very brief. The issue of digitization and laptops cannot fail to arise when we are talking about teachers who need to be paid and looking for solutions and finding ways where we think there are resources that can be...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I will try to be very brief since I only have a minute. I am surprised that from 1997, these allowances have apparently not been paid. When I also look at the various governments that have been there, I am...

Sen. Mbuvi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am about to finish!

Sen. Mbuvi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that today I have known why the civil society was referring to these hon. Members as pigs.
