• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I rise to support this Bill. Today, I have learnt something. Many times I refer to the Senate as the House of the slightly aged or the elderly. I have realised how useful they are, especially to us, young parliamentarians. I walked into this Chamber today with the intention of opposing this Bill. However, I had a chat with one of the slightly elderly Senators and he inducted me well into the practices of Parliament. Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki asked me two questions which informed my position on this Bill. ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I commend Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo for thinking outside the box as may be put. The Bill may not be popular in some quotas but its implications are far reaching because it is about reforming the public service in the counties. With those many observations, I beg to support though with the promissory note handed over to the sponsor of the Bill and the Committee that some of the concerns that have been raised are addressed. Thank you. view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to recognize this young breed of future leaders. Worth noting to them is that we disagree many times in this House. I am sure that in the course of their time in the Public Gallery, they will notice that we seldom disagree with each other, but we do it in a civil manner.

• 13 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 45 (2) (a) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations on the increased disappearance and brutal murder of children aged between eight and 16 years in Chesue Village, Nandi Hills Sub- County of Nandi County. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- 1. state whether the government is aware that five children have disappeared in the last one week; 2. state whether the government is aware that two mutilated bodies belonging to two of the said five children were recovered by ... view
• 12 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance. I rise to support this amendment. Before I do so, allow me to congratulate my colleague and dear friend, Sen. Wamatangi, for what I consider a very well thought out amendment. During my very first days in the Senate just a few months ago, I read the Order Paper and kept on seeing the Micro and Small Enterprise (Amendment) Bill. It kept on ringing in my mind that it something worth of interest. For one reason or the other, I never considered going through the records just to find ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The request for the statement was with regard to the number of schools that are connected to the national grid. It did not go further to request for statistics that would answer the question being asked by the Senate Minority Leader. The two counties that he has mentioned have got a high number of schools. Over 800 schools have been connected and you are saying that-- - view
• 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to register my comments based on the arguments made by my colleague in the Senate Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget, Sen. Kagwe. These petitions, in my opinion, will either break or make the Senate in the eyes of the public. In many occasions, when the petitioners present their petitions, they look at the Senate as the House of last resort or as a place where they can find refuge from the plunder that is being carried out in the country by most governors. It will be a great adversity to the promise of ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I Just want to inform Sen. Mong’are that Manda Island is one of the most beautiful beaches this country has. It is in Kilifi County and from 23rd to 26th June, a few select young Senators will have the privilege of hiding there to be inducted on the practices and cultures of this House. If you want to join the club, you are invited, though I am not sure who will bear the cost. view
• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance. I rise to support this Bill for the following reasons. First, this is something that the Senate Minority Leader alluded to in his long speech, though he contradicted himself by appearing to push the case for what I will refer to as “smaller” political parties. Probably, he thinks that the sponsors of the Bill have been sponsored. He was quite clear in his opening remarks that this Bill has been sponsored by the Jubilee Government so as to put through the eminent merger between the parties that are therein. ... view
• 31 May 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance. I rise to support this Motion and I do so especially coming from a county that is blessed to have the first Kenyan to win an Olympic medal. I know what the Olympics means to us as a nation. It would have been a great tragedy if, as legislators of this nation, we had not rectified the challenges that we are facing. We know the history of what happened until we have found ourselves here today. That is not strange news to any of us in this House. We ... view
