• 27 Jun 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this issue has been lying idle without being solved for the last 24 years. Come August 7th, it would be 25 years. It is high time this issue was resolved and the victims compensated. Given that even when the Americans come to this country, they visit the bomb blast venue just to give allegiance to their people who died during that time, with this AdHoc Committee being approved and put in place, we will be able to move and finish this. I ask Sen. Osotsi to second. view
• 20 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.71, I rise to withdraw the Motion appearing No.19 on the Order Paper. Thank you. view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Statement by Sen. Cherarkey about the MCAs salaries and allowances being slashed. MCAs should earn even more because they do a lot of work. Without them, governors cannot work in the counties because they are the ones who know what is happening on the ground. Every morning people wake up from their homes and go to tell them the problems. If there are roads or bridges which are impassable, they are the first ones to know before Governors. In the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report, we had ... view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: Fund, I remember telling this House that we should not only push for ours but also for the county assemblies so that they can oversight. They are at the mercies of the governors because of lack of funds. This means that they will sing the song of the governors and cannot oversight properly. The SRC should review their salaries. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this matter should not be taken to the Committee on Finance and Budget but to a Committee of the Whole House so that all of us can discuss it as a House. This should be treated as an ... view
• 30 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Statement by Sen. Cherarkey about the agents that take our people outside the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very timely Statement. I pray that the Committee that will take up this Statement will go further and check on how these girls are taken from here. If they can also be trained on how to go and stay there. When most of them arrive there, their passports and mobile phones are confiscated. So, they have no connection with anyone. Nonetheless, when they find that the ... view
• 23 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to join the rest of the Senators in support of this Petition by Ms. Ruth Kabui. The issue of teachers retiring and not getting their benefits does not only affect Ruth. I do not know which county she comes from, but I know it is an issue that cuts across all the counties in Kenya. view

• 23 May 2023 in Senate: It is sad to hear and know that from 1996 to date, there are people still waiting for their compensation and retirement benefits. It is sad because we have the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), which should be mindful of the teachers’ welfare. The Kenya National Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) are also there. They should be concerned about the retirement benefits of the teachers. All of us working want to get our benefits when we retire, so that we can continue with life. Those teachers have waited for their benefits from ... view

• 2 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to complete my Motion for compensation for the Kenyan victims of the 1998 bombing of the USA Embassy in Nairobi. I had already read what I had written on the Motion. I want to continue by saying that I do not see why the American Government should not compensate Kenyans who died in the bomb blast and those whose, some of their body parts were cut off by the impact of the bombs. Some of them were seriously hurt, injured and are still undergoing treatment. Some of them are really ... view
