• 25 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Bill. This Bill brings in the issue of equalization in the education sector that we have been talking about. We started free primary education but forgot the main foundation cognitive to the development of a young child which starts at ECDE. We hope that as we pass this Bill, we shall ensure that the curriculum that they are proposing will be inculcated across all the counties. I know that education is still a national Government function but this will ensure that parents take their children to school. We must start ... view

• 23 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank Senators who have spoken. I believe this Committee will move to ensure that we flag out the issues affecting the Senate and also ensure that they stay steadfast as we have requested.

• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, 2015. We have seen this Senate go through mediation for this Bill to come. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is important for the county governments to understand that while the Senate allocates funds to them and the national Government remains with a huge sum, we expect them to provide quality services to people. Many years to come people should be able to appreciate why this Senate was the foundation of devolved governments. Looking at the allocations, Nairobi County takes the lion’s share. But ... view

It is unfortunate that we have to wait until there is a planned visit for us to do something, yet we know that Kenyans need services always. I am happy that Obama is coming. However, shall we be waiting for a guest to come before ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, maybe it is the English language. Let me rephrase it. It will be unfortunate if our people can only get services when we have leaders or politicians visiting. Under the new Constitution, everyone has a right to a good road. Good roads should crosscut every county. It is not only the politicians who should have tarmacked roads to their homes. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before I table any evidence, he also needs to show us where the government spent its money because he is the one who brought the issue. That is why I defended my Catholic Church. He is the one who claimed that the Catholic Church used government funds. So, he should substantiate that. I will go to Bishop Njue, and bring the documents of the Catholic Church. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the Catholic Church hears this coming out of the Senate, they will not be happy because I know that every Catholic view
