• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: If you look all over the country, most of the hospitals, dispensaries and health centres do not have enough doctors. The medical officers are not there. It is the clinical officers who are doing their job. Their welfare is not well taken care of. Generally, since the health sector was devolved, it appears to be just a way of getting employment. The registered clinical officers should be considered and should be part of the structures. view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. We find ourselves in a very unfortunate situation today. Everybody knows that this country is a middle level economy. Unfortunately, we cannot pay for our own goods and services in the country just because of indiscipline borrowing and misuse of resources available to the country. As you look at a paper today, the debt stands at Kshs10 trillion and what capacity is capped is always Kshs6oo billion, which is available for use for this country. The Kshs600 billion cannot fund our education sector. So, we will need to borrow. ... view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Our recurrent expenditure is more than 60 per cent of our GDP. A country like Kenya should not be worried of where to get the money from. This country is rich and has resources to feed her citizenry and export food. We are getting food from Tanzania and Uganda. This country has become a consumer country. Instead of producing food and become self-sufficient and export; we are importing. This is an unfortunate situation. The money borrowed is used for recurrent expenditure; paying for salaries and petty things. This is total disrespect to any understanding of financial disciplines. The leadership of ... view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: When you say that the National Treasury should raise over Kshs120 billion, it means you will tax Kenyans more. We cannot afford electricity bills. This country needs to develop and industrialize. The tariffs in electricity cannot sustain our industries. Most of the industries are relocating to other countries. However, we brag around and say that we are a middle-level developed country and our economy is growing by at least 6 per cent while children and people are dying of hunger. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Animals are dying. We have lost almost three or four billion livestock. In monetary terms, they are worth Kshs600 billion that we are now asking to borrow. We can take care of the animals. Our farmers cannot produce adequately because taxation is high. Also, electricity tariffs are high. I do not know where we are headed. It is time for leaders in this country view

• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: to say the truth and indicate that we cannot sustain ourselves. We cannot feed our people or produce. It is a shame that we are an independent country that cannot feed her own people. We cannot brag of anything else. We need to go back to the drawing board and say that enough is enough. Thank you. I support the Motion. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Statement. As you are aware, today, clan conflicts and armed groups are causing mayhem in this country. For instance, in Rift Valley, especially in Marakwet, Pokot and Turkana. The same thing is happening in Marsabit County and the northern parts of Kenya. We are actually overwhelmed because those same people have many problems. Today they are facing drought, lost their livelihoods and they are still being killed by people who are crossing from different borders. They come from Ethiopia, Somalia and elsewhere. Unfortunately, this country has become free for all. We have ... view
