• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join the rest of my colleagues who are in support of this Motion to alter the Calendar of the Senate. I agree with them because of the need to preserve life and make do in very extraordinary times that we are facing as a country and the whole world. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to propose that even as we consider this decision, the leadership should have been more detailed in their request to this House apart from just informing us about the alteration of the calendar. First, this appears to be a continuous trend. We have been in this situation for more than a year now. It is becoming increasingly clear that we are not so sure when the world will be completely out of the woods with regards to this pandemic. It would have been better if we had been informed how Committee systems will be used ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: of Parliament that national Government continues to do heavy investment in different sectors like the expressway here in Nairobi yet we have read in the media that as a country, we cannot afford to ship in extra doses of this vaccine? The truth of the matter is that in a country of 47 million people, are we proud that we, as a country, have only shipped in 1.5 million vaccine? We can ensure that we set up investment in the right areas, then as a House of Parliament, we must stamp our foot and ask the right questions to the ... view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the man you are informing that you have been vaccinated also got a vaccine. I can see the effects of AstraZeneca vaccine. He is fast asleep. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you have heard Members from the Wiper Democratic Movement Party try to run away from their working relationship with Jubilee Government. However, will Sen. Wambua denounce the remarks of his party leader who announced to the entire nation on the day that he was burying his father that he wants to be the Presidents right-hand man? Therefore, the biggest challenge that President Uhuru faces is debt management. How can you be someone‘s right hand man if you are not helping him solve the same problems? Even Sen. Were cannot run away. Part of the struggles we ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am a Member of this Committee and have been for the last five or six years. Unlike Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., I will not run away from the mess. As a Committee, we share in the blame and tally as a House. We do not apportion blame. In this current system, Parliament works through its committees. As a House, we are guided by what our committees tell us. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the obvious challenge that many people do not realize is something that one of the speakers had earlier on highlighted; the overall structure of the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) and the route that it takes with regard to proposals that come from the House. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Somebody keenly noted that the wording in statue is that ―Parliament shall give a report of its consideration.‖ Unfortunately, we continue to give separate reports between the House of the National Assembly and that of the Senate. The English have a saying that ―he who pays the piper, calls the tune.‖ If you are the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of the National Treasury and Planning, and have to choose between what to us is constructive work, but to them is the nuances of politicians, between listening to the National Assembly and the Senate, you know very well who they ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: In the long run, for it to make sense to the citizens of this country, and for the Kshs40 billion that they cough up each year to run both Houses of Parliament, it all ends up with the BPS. It gives us a view of the state of the nation. Perhaps, this is even more important than the State of the Nation Address. That is not to demean the stature of our President; I respect him. This gives you a better and detailed response of the things that are happening in our country; the challenges that the ordinary citizens who ... view
