• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: In the past few years, if you watch football, the National Premier League had got some semblance of order. The same was because of what sports betting firms were putting in, in terms of investment in our national football team. We can argue for or against betting. I am a Christian and I never betted. I do not support the practice but as a leader, I have to appreciate that different choices go for different people. Therefore, I cannot sit in a public office and say that because I do not agree with the practice of betting and gambling, that ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, of late some of us have got the title that we have acquired the new role of being the young opposition boys in town. It is a role that we take up with great admiration if that is what it will take to salvage this country from what is happening. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Therefore, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, cognizant of the fact that we are running short of time and many of my colleagues want to speak to this Motion, I will leave it at that. I beg to move and request the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet County to second. He is the Senator for one of the gallant athletes that we are celebrating. Probably there is more than one because I only thought about Brigid Kosgei who hails from Elgeyo-Marakwet County. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have a plethora of requests from colleagues who would have wanted to contribute to this Motion, but given that we went late into the evening, for one reason or the other, they were not able to be here till late. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Under Standing Order 105, I do request that the debate be now adjourned. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. This is a very sad issue. As a young person, and also as a person who has been involved in business, I understand the pain that the Petitioners are going through. It is really unfortunate that it has come to this, that as a citizen, after doing business with your own Government, you have to resort to all manner of tricks in the book trying to get paid for what is justifiably yours. I have never understood why it is a struggle for genuine contractors and suppliers, people who do honest business with the ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: committee to this House. This is such a serious issue. I hope that many of my colleagues, including those who are Members of the Committee heard some of the tribulations that these suppliers have gone through. Some have even had a break up of their marriages and families because of these challenges, and I would understand. If you borrow money from your spouse, brother or sister to trade and do business with the Government, and then you are not paid, how do you pay the money back? I humbly request the Committee that will handle this Petition to expeditiously resolve ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: Finally, as we fight corruption and all these other vices, we must not hurt genuine business people. Most directives being issued by people who sit in well air-conditioned offices here in Nairobi are affecting genuine business people. We have seen the demonstrations that are happening in Mombasa. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: What happens to an individual who took a loan from the banks to buy trucks? It is a pity that a Cabinet Secretary (CS) would sit in an office here eating mandazi and issue directives--- view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have taken a long time, but let me now conclude. As people make these directives, let them remember that Kenyans continue to suffer. With those many remarks, I support the petitioners. view
