Sen. Muthama

Sen. Muthama On point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am standing to raise a concern which I know affects many hon. Members. We are supposed to have the report which is being read by the Chairman. However, if you on are on page one, page two is missing. In...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Motion that is being moved is very important, and yet the Senate Majority Leader is grouping all the Members there to have a different meeting, when the actual business of the House is being conducted here. Is he...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Here is a chairman of one of the most important committees and he is having a conversation while standing and the attention of the whole house is going there. Consultation is a must, but we must maintain the discipline...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. First of all, I said that Sen. Murkomen is a chairman of one of the most important Committees in this House. So, get it well. Secondly, I said consultations are allowed, but they should be done in a very...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Muthama Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the hon. Senator has made it very clear that one individual read the Constitution and his people believed in what he told them. We know we have leaders in this country---

Sen. Muthama Is it in order for the Senator to make this House believe that there is one community that is so stupid that---

Sen. Muthama Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, could the hon. Member clarify that there is a community that is so ignorant that they can be told by an individual that this is the way and they follow that way? We know Kenyans have great brains to think for themselves.

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Muthama Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as the Whip of this House, I am trying to see how contributions can be made, I found out that we have about nine contributors who are waiting including the one who is about to speak. If each one takes ten minutes, they will...

Sen. Muthama Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Nasimama kuunga mkono Hoja hii. Bw. Spika wa Muda, mimi ni mmoja kati ya wale waliofanya kazi ya ziada sana katika Bunge la Kumi kuuza Katiba hii mpya. Malengo na mategemeo yetu yalikuwa kutoa pesa kutoka kwa ofisi ya juu hadi mashinani....

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand on a point of order to tell the Chairperson that in January, 2008, I was one of those very new Members of Parliament (MPs) who visited the most affected areas---

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us all agree that this is one issue that has been a big shame to this country. Kenyans are suffering; children---

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson – with all due respect and I respect Chairpersons in this House – must bring the Statement here at least to tell this House when those Kenyans will be settled, because they have that constitutional right to be settled by the Government that...

Sen. Muthama Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. (Sen. Kittony spoke off record)

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sen. Murkomen who is one of the leading Members in House has just crossed the Floor without even bowing to the Chair, as if he is going to the market. Is he in order to do that?

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I wish to just remind you that the Standing Orders were drafted in the Tenth Parliament and most of those who did it did not consider or foresee the amount of work that would be done by the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir,...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, my position and the way I am feeling is that the Governor should be given the very last chance so that what he says cannot be challenged because he will not be able to defend himself on the issues that will be raised here.

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to challenge the ruling of the Chair, but what I am saying is within the report that was sent to the Office of the Speaker of the Senate by the Auditor General. I am not talking about something which is not...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Sen. Muthama to deviate from the Report that is before this House? Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I have a saying that goes: In the world there are sets of people...

Order! Order, Sen. Muthama! First, you must be relevant to the Motion before the House. It is Embu County and not Machakos County. Secondly, you do not anticipate debate. So, whatever will be coming in the future, we will deal with it at that particular time. Sen. Muthama(Applause) February 14,...

Sen. Muthama

Sen. Muthama Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me take this opportunity to thank the people of Embu and the great Parliament of Embu Assembly for bringing this issue to this point. It is happening all over the country; all counties are facing this particular problem. Turkana was...

February 14, 2013 SENATE DEBATES

report was published the other day and we read it in the media. We actually saw people starving; women who cannot even have milk to breastfeed their children. They may not have come from Embu, but that is exactly where they were being taken by this Governor. It is not...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me take this opportunity to thank the people of Embu and the great Parliament of Embu Assembly for bringing this issue to this point. It is happening all over the country; all counties are facing this particular problem. Turkana was the first...

Assembly of Turkana. I take exception to the maize scandal in Embu. If this was China, maybe Governor Wambora would have been shot! (Laughter)

Order, Sen. Munyes! I thought you were in the House when I was informing the Senator for Machakos that the Motion before us is only for one county known as Embu County. (Laughter)

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

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, as is the norm, I am looking at what happened in the Tenth Parliament under the Grand Coalition Government, where was the Government Chief Whip? We also had chairpersons, and the so-called Opposition, which was not there physically. So, as was the norm, it is...

Sen. Muthama Nashukuru sana, Bw. Naibu Spika. Nasimama kuunga mkono Hoja hii. Kuna msemo unaosema ya kwamba “Samaki akianza kuoza, huanzia kichwani.” Ikiwa unataka kusimamisha kuoza kuenea katika mwili mzima, basi lazima ukikate kichwa na kukiondoa. Vitengo vyote vya Serikali vina wasimamizi wake. Kwa mfano, kitengo cha Serikali, hasa kitengo...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Orengo sought a Statement from the Chairperson of the National Security and Foreign Relations with regard to my security. My understanding is that it was to be delivered today, but nothing has happed to it. So, I am requesting that the Statement be issued...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, this issue has been on and off since 7th November, 2013. We are now in December. In the first place, why did they withdraw my security personnel? It is my right to have a security detail. The Chairperson was to respond as to why the...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a court ruling that my security be reinstated. There is also a directive by the Chair that the security be given back to me. What is the position? It is up to the Chairperson to explain why they have not reinstated my security...

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir---

Sen. Muthama Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really sympathize with the hon. Senator and the people of Pokot, Turkana, Samburu and other areas where cattle rustling is very prevalent. As I stated, I have never seen any Government policy which says that there should be compensation. But I think that...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that common sense states that those victims of cattle rustling are the ones who should be compensated. I said that is not possible. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding the issue of all the police deployed being in Turkana, I want to be given another...

Sen. Muthama Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii ili nichangie Hoja ya leo iliyoletwa na Sen. Karaba kuhusu watoto wetu wachanga. Naunga mkono Hoja hii ili watoto wetu wachanga wapate msingi bora; pia yatakikana sisi, kama viongozi, tuwaangalie vizuri watoto wetu wachanga. Nimeketi na kufikiria ni kwa nini...

Sen. Muthama Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a very important hindsight. Sen. Muthama has now made it even clearer. Those who think that we are being hypothetical will now realise that we want to clear the old burden so that people are encouraged to take new loans. I would like...

Mr. Muthama

Sen. Muthama Thank you, Sen. (Dr.) Zani. Before we proceed, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce and welcome this evening some representatives of delegates attending a second meeting of legal counsels to Parliaments which is being hosted by Parliament of Kenya here in Nairobi. They are drawn...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for that information. The reason I have gone into those details is because the severity of the consequences of having armed people are very dire. It would be wrong for us, as a Senate, to debate and support without looking at the flipside. We, as...

armed does not reduce the number of attacks. In fact, most studies that have been carried out on criminology suggest that those who end up being killed are killed using their own guns. Probably, they would not have been killed if they did not have those guns. Those are the...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. For sure I want to say that this is a very important Motion although there are many challenges that we need to consider as we debate it. I will contribute to this Motion...
