• 4 Oct 2018 in Senate: I agree with those who say that we need to look into the issue of labour rights and how we pay many of our labourers and the conditions in which they work in. However, I want to request the Committee that will look into this, to do so holistically where all these sits vis-à-vis the global equation of things. I will give a perfect example. In Kericho, the County that I represent, James Finlay, one of the multinationals that operate there, was faced with incessant calls to continue this agitation for wage increase. In the last few years, they have ... view

• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the very onset, I stand with the petitioners. This is because on matters fashion, I always swim with the current. However, on matters human rights, I stand solid as a rock. The petitioners have been taken round in circles. They have gone to all Government offices seeking for their rights, but all in vain. If you listened to the complaints that have been raised by my colleagues Senators, we have racketeers masquerading as project managers in this country. They are pretending to be managing Government projects. However, they are profiting from public money. If ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I apologise to Sen. Mwaura. It was not my intention to interrupt him, but I want to register a protest. In the Motion that brought back Statements to this House after the break we had, because of riding on them, it was very clear in your indication that we shall not have this kind of atmosphere, where after a statement is brought before the House, Members make general comments, and before we know it, it is 4.00 p.m. I seek your indulgence that you guide this House appropriately, so that we may ... view

For other people – not even ourselves, as Kenyans – to claim that the stature ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Eliud has achieved is way above that of Usain Bolt, it was a great moment for us, as Kenyans. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join the rest of my colleagues in calling upon ourselves, as leaders, to pay keen attention to how we manage sports in this country. If you look at the budget that was passed by the National Assembly, the Ministry of Sports and Heritage had the least allocation. This stems from the kind of attitude that we got while growing up, for those of us that went to public schools. Many are the times ... view
