• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Okay. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I am trying to explain why we are limiting these houses to one person; for one individual, one house. For instance, you could have 100 wives, 10 to 20 children, but we are saying these houses are meant for the poor people and for the low-income earners. If we say that we are allowing everybody to buy what he wants, then everyone will not get what he wants. What we want is for those people to get what they want, so that these houses can be equally distributed. Consequently, that is the justification of this ... view

• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: In this country, the most neglected people are the retirees. We are talking about counties but those who have worked in the national Government equally suffer the same predicament. It is painful, having served the country with dedication and when you retire at the age of 60 or 65 years, you move around struggling to get your pension. What happens in the counties is that the money for such deductions is used as miscellaneous funds. When salaries delay, they pay against salaries and when they have other commitments, they use the same money. As a result, this money accrues interest ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a question for the Cabinet Secretary. There was a Legal Notice 1 of 2016 on National Livestock Development and Promotion Services No.87 signed 2nd June, 2016 by the former President, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta.

I have previously asked the same question, but have not gotten any reply. So, with all due respect, I ask the Cabinet Secretary what the position is and why this legal notice has not been actualised and ... view

• 13 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, I thank God for allowing us to come back here. I can see many bright faces here. We are all safe and sound. Two, this House has a responsibility to oversee devolution. If there is no devolution, I think the Senate will not be there. As it is, and as the Chairman of the Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations Committee has said, devolution is actually under threat for mainly two issues: One, there is run-away corruption within the counties. For sure, if we just keep our eyes closed, then I think devolution will ... view
