• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: In spite of the method used to transfer, it was quite in order to save this country, since all our livestock is going to Dagorreti instead of KMC where you could perhaps get better prices. I support the decision of the President and the Government to transfer KMC to the Military. Major General Badi has proven his ability here in Nairobi. Nairobi is cleaner and safer than it was because of the discipline of the military officer. I read in the newspaper about the support of the Chairman of the North Eastern Livestock organization, Mr. Juba Ali Aane; that the ... view

• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: I am sorry to interrupt my brother, but all over the world, the military does business. They do farming. I have been to Egypt, where the military makes furniture and carpets, and sell them. Therefore, it is not only Kenya that is trying to industrialize its army. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As the Chairman of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, these questions are very embarrassing. They are embarrassing me as the Chairperson because, as I stand here, I am supposed to answer to the demands by Members of the Senate, while in my county, Garissa Town, four people have been taken in the last two weeks. I understand that they are being held in a military camp. I have written letters to the Cabinet Secretary and the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and the answer always is that military people do ... view

This is the first time for me to talk about the issue of the revenue formula which has been going on for the past one month. The only time I spoke about it is when we held a press conference at the gate of the Senate. At that time, I said that while it is quite in order for people who need to be given more money because they have to give more services, at the same time, there is nowhere in the Bible or the Quran ... view

• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if we pushed and pulled each other--- In my community, we have a saying that if you see people quarrelling over inheritance, you do not need to ask what they are to each other. It is because they are related. We are related as brothers and sisters in Kenya. This House is known for its impartiality and doing its work diligently. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: I appeal to my colleagues, now that this issue is a thing of the past, we should not antagonise each other by saying that there are winners and losers. We are all winners because we have broken the eyes of suspicion and disagreement. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: In the same breath, I would like to thank the leadership of the country. I should be forgiven, but I am not criticising anybody. I just want to give advice. The leadership of the House should carry out its responsibilities by doing public relations between the Senate and the Executive. If the President was given a good explanation on this matter, I am sure we would have resolved this issue early. I am saying this because I know the President is a kind and good-hearted person and he always gives consideration to the voice of leaders. view
