• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Bill. ‘Mung’ is a word that we all have had to go into our dictionaries to find. In terms of language being dynamic, and is better used when you understand it, and no description is relatable to, I do not know why we do not just call it The Ndengu Bill. Sen. Wambua, I do not know why we have to go into a language that is not used so much. If there is any opportunity, we can just call it ‘The Ndengu Bill’ and the ‘mung’ can be put in brackets, if it has to. Please, consider this, so ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: their corn; eating, feeding it to their animals and exporting it. It could be the answer to all our problems. I think this is a long solution. It is an organic solution for our poverty issues, hunger issues, health and well-being issues. I want to support that even as we go on, we make sure the provisions within it are implemented.

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I am glad you allowed me to say something. I had a Statement as well on this, but it did not get approved in good time.

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: The duty bearer and person responsible is the State, no matter who has done it. We cannot blame KRC or anybody because at the end of the day, the person that should be preserving the dignity of human beings and ensuring citizens are safe and have all the provisions of Article 33 is the State. Therefore, I think the State is culpable of gross injustice to its own citizens. As such, they should be answerable and be held accountable. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: A few years ago, when we had the railway being built and other developments being done in Kibera and other places, we saw the inhumane manner in which these things were conducted. I was working for the Red Cross then. This country is one of the few that has never ever taken responsibility for the gross injustices meted on its poor yet they are the worst crimes of injustice. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: I think we will make sure that this is not just a matter of talking because we have lamented enough. Action needs to be taken. We will be with Sen. Outa to ensure that the next step is taken. view
• 16 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need your guidance. This being a quasi- judicial process, perhaps, there is what you need to remind ourselves, as Senators and view
