George Khaniri

Sen. Khaniri Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I rise to fully support and associate myself with the Statement made by the Majority Leader. This is one of those rare occasions where I fully agree with my friend, Sen. Murkomen. In moving the...

Sen. Khaniri Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 46 (2) (a) to make a statement on an issue of general topical concern; the pathetic state of the Kapsabet - Chavakali Road. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a fact that major transport...

Sen. Khaniri On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to bring to your attention the provisions of Standing Order 226 (2) and inform Sen. M. Kajwang’ that he is misleading the House. It is only when a petition is being presented that the Speaker has the discretion...

Sen. Khaniri “but the Speaker may”--- I stand corrected, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Khaniri Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.46 (2) (a) , to make a statement on a matter of general topical concern; that is the management of health sector in the country. In the last five years since 2013, the Ministry of Health has...

Sen. Khaniri Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for the opportunity. Indeed, it is with a very heavy heart that I rise to join you and my colleagues who have spoken earlier in condoling the family of our departed brother, Sen. Ben Oluoch Okello. It is so sad that Sen. Okello...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also join the House and the Speaker in expressing our sense of loss and sorrow of one of us. It is a shock in the sense that Sen. Okello did not serve even a substantial fraction of his tenure because within few days when...

Order, Senate Minority Leader. You are mixing the languages. The Senate Minority Leader (

Sen. Khaniri Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise pursuant to provisions of Standing Order No.46 (2) (a) to make a statement on an issue of general topical concern. That is the recent accidents at Lunyerere on the Kisumu-Kakamega Road. I take this opportunity to, first and...

Sen. Khaniri Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for that protection. Lastly, the Lunyerere black spot had inadequate road signage and speed bumps. The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government should take charge and bring sanity, as was experienced in 2003/ 2004, during the introduction of the famous...

Naibu Spika, nataka nikushukuru kwa kunipa nafasi hii ili nami pia nichangie Hoja hii, ambayo ni muhimu sana.

Sen. Khaniri Bw. Naibu Spika, utakubaliana nami kwamba nilipoanza kuzungumza, nilisema kwamba nitajaribu kwa sababu mlitaka nizungumze Kiswahili. Kwa hivyo najaribu na naomba uniwie radhi.

Sen. Khaniri Nimeambiwa preparedness ni matayarisho. Kamati hiyo lazima iangalie matayarisho ambayo serikali zetu zote mbili, yani serikali za kaunti na Serikali ya kitaifa, zitaweka ili kukabiliana na majanga kama hayo yanapotokea. Mara nyingi majanga kama hayo yanapotokea katika taifa letu, watu ninaoona ni maafisa wa Shirika la Msalaba Mwekundu....

Sen. Khaniri Nashukuru Bw. Naibu Spika kwa kunirekebisha. Serikali inafaa iwalipe ridhaa wale waliopatwa na mkasa huo.

Sen. Khaniri Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join my colleagues who have spoken earlier in hailing Gov. Mandago and the four other patriotic Kenyans for bringing this important Petition to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. I want to agree with the Senator for Kericho, Sen. Cheruiyot, that...

Sen. Khaniri Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, had you called the Order?

Sen. Khaniri On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know why my Chairman would subject the Speaker to this. Article 125 of our Constitution is very clear. So, the Chairman, in his capacity and the Committee, has the powers to call for evidence. He does not...

Sen. Khaniri Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to, first of all, thank you for the opportunity and join my colleagues in hailing the Chairman for the elaborate response that he has given to the House. However, as noted by the good professor, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, cases of human- wildlife conflict...

Sen. Khaniri Mr. Speaker, Sir, hyenas are wildlife. (Laughter)

Sen. Khaniri Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is the most absurd answer I have heard from this senior. If you may recall, his Vice Chair came with this answer and we sent him away because in the answer, he is insisting that two people were shot. I brought evidence of four...

Sen. Khaniri On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to defend myself because he said he read dishonesty in me. It is true and you were in the Chair when Sen. Sakaja who is his Vice Chair came with the same exact answer and you ruled...
