• 19 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak on this Report. This Report covers the financial year 2013/2014; from 1st July, 2013, to 30th June, 2014. If my memory is correct, this is one of the first annual reports that this Senate is considering. When the elections were held in 2013, the other reports that we considered were for only six months. Therefore, this report is for a full year of 12 months. Whereas the reports for the six months were a bit lenient because county governments were just settling in and some of them did ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you. Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 to issue a Statement on the passing on of the former United Nations (UN) Secretary General, Auditor-General Kofi Annan. Today in Accra, Ghana, His Excellency (H.E.) Kofi Annan, the former Secretary General of the UN and Nobel Peace Prize Winner and a top world diplomat is being laid to rest. I am glad that the Republic of Kenya is being represented by the Speaker of this House and my party leader, the former Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am aware that this House ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I welcome you to the Senate and congratulate you for coming here. Even more so, I congratulate the Senator for Makueni County for enabling you to come here. I understand that two of you may be students at “The” Alliance High School, where I also schooled. If you look at who the school captain was in 1965, you will see my name somewhere there. If you are in Dormitory 11, you will also see my name, as a prefect there. Alliance High School, of course, tops everything. However, for those who are in national schools, ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am so moved by this brilliant team which has come here. You are in national schools, including Alliance High School, which is where I was focusing. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Makueni County has produced very good leaders, for example, the late Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, his son Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and even Governor Charity Ngilu, who originate from Makueni County. Mr. Andrew Mulei, the former Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), also originates from Makueni County. Makueni County has, therefore, produced good leaders who have led this country well. I am sure that ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I heard the Leader of Majority, whom I respect, call the Leader of Majority after very nice superlatives, he slipped in the word “cunning”. He slipped in the word “cunning” in a very cunning way. Is he in order to use the word “cunning” when he is referring to his opposite Member? view

• 21 Jun 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support this Motion of Adjournment. I hope that the Senators will use the opportunity to spread the gospel of the handshake in their various counties. By the time we come back, we will have moved further in reconciliation, ensuring inclusivity and tackling issues of corruption. I support. view
• 20 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Importation of sugar has been an avenue of corruption ever since I joined Government way back in 1991 and it continues to be an avenue of corruption to date. However, because I have only two minutes, I will not go into the details. We tried to limit it by saying that only millers like Mumias Sugar Company should import sugar to meet the shortfall. There is always a shortfall of sugar compared to consumption in this country, which is met by importation. Even with that, those millers also exercised their own corruption at that ... view
