This is such that you are just left as a Member of Parliament to come, read what has been prepared for you, have a seat and go home. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not intend ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: However, the further question which Sen. Cherarkey is asking and I agree with, perhaps, is what many of the Senators that are before the House this afternoon are asking.

• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: I say this with tremendous respect. I congratulate our Chairpersons. It is never easy to lead a Committee of Parliament. Hats off to Sen. Ali Roba who is leading our Budget and Finance Committee. The Committee has produced the most Bills in this House and some of them were very difficult. view

• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: 47 governors to file a recovery plan. This continuous business of receiving excuses of inherited staff that are expensive from the defunct municipalities and all these stories are nonsense. This is because we know for a fact that each of the successive sessions of the last three county governments hires new staff. These are the staff that continue to consume a lot of money. The way the governor operates is the reason it is becoming expensive. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: We are back to 2013 all over again and I am sorry to say this. Do you remember when devolution came? I will excuse Sen. Mandago and Sen. Ali Roba that perhaps you behaved better or it is debatable to the people of Kilifi, Mandera, and Uasin Gishu. view
