• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very important matter that the distinguished Senator for Bungoma has brought to this House. I wish to remind him that he needs to add Kericho County in his list of coffee growing regions. My county is well known for growing tea, but coffee ranks second in our cash crops. This is because we have a large chunk of our population growing this particular crop. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that last week, while debating the Division of Revenue Bill, I brought up an issue for the attention of the House. If ... view

• 21 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I pass my condolences to the people of Elgeyo-Marakwet and West Pokot counties following the unfortunate disaster that has befallen them. This is what we were referring to a few minutes ago on the Statement from Sen. Wetangula. There are certain regions of our country that are considered to be more special than others. Twenty four Kenyans have died and in more than 48 hours not a single high-ranking Government official, either a Cabinet Secretary (CS) or Permanent Secretary (PS) has shown up in the region to give guidance to the people that are leading ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me this chance. I share in the concerns of the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Orengo, on the very unfortunate incident that befell one of his constituents. While I have heard many of my colleagues speak on the need for the Ministry of Health to give us answers on why these things are happening, it is time we also, as Members or Parliament (MPs), got introspective about our conduct during this COVID-19 pandemic.

• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: The truth of the matter is that in so many of the things that are happening, we have allowed them as leaders in this Republic. As MPs, we have abdicated our responsibilities all in the spirit of trying to remain decent and not appear to be questioning what the Government is doing. We are hoping that you extend a hand of goodwill to the Government and expect that they will behave within the confines of the law. Well, the unfortunate thing is that no government anywhere in the world does that. That is why you have a Parliament to check ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have concluded. I am calling upon us that let us check on the excesses of the Government during this pandemic as a House of Parliament. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will try and be extremely brief. I am a Member of this Committee. Therefore, I have had my opportunity to give my thoughts on this particular Bill. I have two issues that I wish to bring to the attention of the House. One is on conditional grants; year in, year out, these continue to increase. The trend is that since they begun in 2015, there has been an increase of huge amounts on each and every financial year. This is an avenue which, if we do not check as Parliament, we could be passing ... view

• 31 Mar 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Apologies, I did not wish to interrupt the Senate Majority Leader as he gave the Notices of Motions that have brought us to the House this afternoon. However, there is an issue of great national importance that I wish to bring to your attention. As Parliament, this is not an issue that we should wish away or delay any further. I speak with a very heavy heart. I want to bring to your attention the existence of two teams that are working at cross-purposes in trying to serve our country during this ... view
