• 18 Apr 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to join my colleagues in sending condolences to the family of the late Hon. Matiba. As a ‘parliamentary millennium’ – if I can use that term – in 1992, at the height of his political activities, I was a standard one pupil so I cannot say much about what happened. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in Senate: If my fellow Senators are surprised by that, they should then question where Sen. Cherargei and Sen. Chebeni were. If I was in class one at that time, they must have been in diapers. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for us, as a country, it is good to be introspective in moments like this; we need to look back and reflect. What is the lesson that young people of my age can draw from us, as a nation? When they look at the life of the late Hon. Matiba and see how he suffered, despite his contribution to our nation, the big question in their mind is, was it worth it? Was it worth it to risk his life, suffer and live a very difficult life in the latter part of his life; and despite all ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. King David, writing in the book of Psalms 133 says:- “How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity. It is like precious oil overflowing down from his head down to the beards of Aaron”. I had to quote the second part – although not relevant – just to hear my name. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a great day for this nation. I am so happy and I feel elated as a young leader, that for the first time in this House – even when you take a stroll through ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I appreciate this chance to move this Motion. It is something I consider so passionate and important to me. Being in this House, this is a desire that I have had far too long--- view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I knew I would not escape your wrath. I apologise. Let me do the right thing. ESTABLISHMENT OF AN AD-HOC COMMITTEE TO INQUIRE INTO THE CHALLENGES FACING THE TEA SECTOR IN KENYA ` Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, AWARE that Kenya is the third leading producer of black tea in the world accounting for about 10 per cent of the total world tea production; COGNIZANT that tea contributes four per cent of Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 26 per cent of the country’s export earnings; FURTHER AWARE THAT ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will need less. I have heard the contributions of all the distinguished colleagues that have spoken to this matter. We will take into consideration and live up to the demands and the expectations of our colleagues. With those remarks, I beg to move. view
• 27 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance to make my contribution. From the very onset, I want it to be on record that I support the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No.7 of 2018). It is also good for me to say I support the sentiments expressed by my fellow Senators. We all know all Bills we discuss in this House are important. However, in terms of rank of importance and the strata of where this particular Bill stands, I think it sits at the apex. This is because it gives us a sense of ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was speaking about level five hospitals and how we manage our health system generally. They say that in the absence of order, then disorder becomes the order. That is why citizens are regulating themselves by telling each other that; “if you are not a resident of this county, please, go and seek medication from another county.” As leaders, we cannot watch as this continues to happen. We need to examine the plans and implementation policies that county governments are putting in place in terms of shared resources. The thought that guides this, for instance, ... view
• 22 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to also contribute and share my thoughts on the Food Security Bill (Senate Bills No. 12 of 2017). I must say from the onset, that this is an extremely important Bill. It puts into great thought things that millions of Kenyans grapple with on a daily basis. However, sometimes we, as legislators, and Kenyans of privilege, tend to forget that there are millions of Kenyans who rise every morning with only a singular duty; to put food on their table and return to their beds. Yet, because we do ... view
