• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so as not to attract all these points of order, I will not mention anybody's name. Let me just focus and say why I disagree with those that are telling us --- view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Sen. Eddy was agitated and because he is my friend, I thought maybe something was wrong. The point that I was conversing is that I know people have argued on Kenya's position on DRC. What is our position on DRC? Kenya is part and parcel of the East African Community (EAC). For the last two or three years, the EAC member States had military presence in DRC. They ensured that they managed the conflict so successfully, that by the time they were exiting late last year upon the request of DRC, not a single soldier had lost their life. However, ... view

• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: In fact, in my own analysis, we did better. This situation could have been handled better when we had the presence of EAC forces. Remember, at that particular time, not a single life of a soldier had been lost. They had managed to contain the hostilities. Look at what has happened since the coming into place of SADC forces. The M23 has advanced. They have gained more territory and some of their soldiers have been killed. Part of the resolutions of the meeting that happened in Addis Ababa on the night before the vote, including even allowing those soldiers to ... view

• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: It is a retrogressive practice that is continuing to gain a bad reputation. Unfortunately, it is supported by certain leaders who do not see beyond petty partisan politics. They believe it is good to cheer on young people even as they malign their own country online on the global stage, thinking it will power their popularity. This addiction to clickbait and trying to be favoured and loved online is what will bring down many a political career. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we must always appreciate and know that there is a line between being democratic, expressing your views of disagreement ... view

• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: I believe that part of the recommendations that they will be making is one on the issue of how to make Africa a more cohesive society while taking into consideration the diverse nature of our society, especially in terms of region, language and religion. I believe that it is possible to either force people or tweak the rules such that the chairperson and the vice-chairperson may be people that are elected that represent, if not the three of those demographics, at least two of them. For example, from our Constitution, you must give it to the genius that insisted on ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Is my time up? Okay, I think I need to wind up. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the reforms that are being proposed before the AU, I hope that we will capture that particular complication, so that we do not have a divide between Christians and Muslims because I have seen people trying to speculate. Earlier, I mentioned the lists that are being circulated about which countries voted for or against; that it is possible to tweak the rules at the level of the chair and the vice- chair, and if possible, even at the level of the commissioners, you ... view
