• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: our children if the teachers, the people who are nurturing them, and educating them are so badly off. Madam Deputy Speaker, be it statutory deductions, health insurance, salaries, something has to be done because these are the people nurtured us. We are here standing before you today because of the teachers that taught us. The judges, the President and everybody you can think of went through the hands of teachers. However, we are a society that does not respect, does not support and does not take care of its teachers. That puts the future of our children at stake. To ... view

• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Bonu Halakhe could be a Mr. Kinyanjui, Mr. Letodo or Mr. Oduor, but we find that when it comes to military and organizations like that, people are not being compensated in good time.

• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: or the person with less power does not get compensated. This House stands for Kenyans; it is a House of representation and oversight.

Mr. Halakhe could be anybody, but the fact that he shares a name with me, thank you for letting me contribute to this.

• 30 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise to support my Senator, Sen. Dullo, for bringing this Statement to the national limelight at the Senate. The issue of inter-community or inter-boundary conflict is becoming really bad. It is not just the border with Garissa, even at the border with Meru. As you know, Isiolo borders five counties.

The community I come from feels very aggrieved, and I am sure the other community also feels aggrieved. As leaders, it is about time we supported peace initiatives that rely on our traditional mechanisms. As leaders, we are talking to our communities and saying, ‘please allow us to come to you.’, since what we witnessed is not ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not fair that for the tea growing belt you allowed a few more people, but not for the other belt. We also would like to be heard and add our voice because it is affecting the northern part of Kenya and we do not have electricity on the grid. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was trying to draw your attention to the fact that you ruled and now through other means my colleagues have spoken. I would also like to contribute. Is it in order for me to say that--- view
