• 8 Jun 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is exciting because this Bill is a product of tough negotiations led by Sen. Kibiru to have additional allocations and conditional allocations set aside in a separate Bill, so that we can follow up and track how they are being spent in the counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I feel excited because you and I have been prayerful. If elected governors, we are going to be the managers of the resources that are currently being discussed and the ones that have previously been passed. We fought hard for this legislation. The beauty about it is the way ... view
• 8 Jun 2022 in Senate: Most importantly and for purposes of budgeting, we will avoid the constant amendments that were being channeled left right and centre because the National Treasury was entering into negotiations on these grants mid-year, or at any time during the year. This framework will allow for budgeting at the point of passing the Division of Revenue Bill, the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and Budget Policy Statement (BPS) to be in line. Therefore, I am a proud person. If there is one piece of legislation that I am proud of as a Member of the Committee on Finance and Budget, it ... view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Oh my goodness! I tell you. view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Speaker, Sir. Allow me to pass my condolences, those of my wife Anita and the people of Makueni to the family of the late Mwai Kibaki and the country in general for losing such a great man. The young people like myself and others can only repeat sentiments of what we have heard. We have not had the opportunity and privilege like Sen. Wetangula, Sen. (Eng.) Maina, Sen. Orengo and Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri of working with this good man. Stories are told about this man and allow me to recall the sentiments that my late father shared ... view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: something he said, I cannot remember it off head but it is a very nice picture on the 6th or 2nd floor of Harambee House about what Kibaki thought about corruption and service to the people. It nearly appears as a contradiction that it appears in that place because a lot of the bad things that have happened to this country, some of them happened in that building. I remember this President after he left office as a gentle man who I saw every other Sunday at the Consolata Shrine where we used to go every Sunday. I am not ... view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: The second gentleman from Nyeri was also a good friend to him. His name was John Munge. view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know the people who wanted Mulei charged. One time I met one of them who had been charged alongside him and I reminded him of the same. He was now being charged. I believe the point is made. view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: The second gentleman is called John Munge. He used to run Shah Munge and Partners. He was a good old buddy of the President. He was charged on a matter involving Eurobank. When he went to his friend and told him he was innocent. He was then the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Commissioner-General. He asked the President to help him but the President told him to go and defend himself in court. John Munge was found innocent. He passed on recently. May his soul rest in peace. It exemplifies what I am talking about. If the example of what Kibaki ... view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: We must tell our presidential candidates that they must emulate Mwai Kibaki. Do not preach water and drink wine. You must believe in processes. Mwai Kibaki was sued when he appointed the County Commissioners. He never pointed a finger. He allowed the case to proceed. The next chief executive of this Republic must tell us that he will follow the footsteps of Mwai Kibaki in terms of allowing for processes. That is what this gentleman believed in. view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: I cannot fail to mention the question of debt. This man left this country with no or very little debt. Since we are eulogizing him, let us say things as they are so that somebody can learn a lesson. Was it because this Makerere Student was a good economist? Did the economist disappear soon after Mwai Kibaki? The answer is, no. view
