• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if in the course of putting across my points, I may have uttered words that suggest that I do not respect the Senate Majority Leader, then I withdraw. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the things that he did for me in 2015 when he introduced me to this House is that he took me to the Finance and Budget Committee. Little wonder that those of us who have been in this Committee, Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. have been saying this thing for many years. That is why today when we are given ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I confirm that I have been following the Senate Majority Leader studiously as a student, until last Friday when he changed his mind. view

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My fourth point is on the issue of equitable share. One of the things that we did is that we sent away the representative of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) because in one way or the other, they tried to mislead the Committee that this borrowing does not have a direct bearing on the equitable share that is sent to each and every county that we represent in this House.

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: unfortunate that despite the fact that we are signed on to keeping our borrowing at 50 per cent of net present value, already even as it stands today, we have passed that ceiling. The reason why the EAC has never successfully integrated is because of our behaviour as Kenyans. Each time we go to Arusha, we set up beautiful meetings where EAC Heads of States sign protocols, but we come back to Kenya and believe that somehow we can only follow those rules in so far as it favours us, as a country. However, at a particular time, when we ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: That is okay. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know very well that in matters to do with law, you either comply fully or you do not comply. You cannot appear before a judge and argue that: “Because I have followed all the other nine laws, permit me to break this particular law.” If Kenya is serious and if, indeed, we are the big brother as Sen. Pareno has said, then it is incumbent upon us to respect each and every EAC Treaty that we have entered into and signed as a country. This is one serious one. If we violate it, we shall ... view
