• 26 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Members who have challenged this formula because we all mean well for our counties. Today I want to plead and persuade the Members that we dispense off this matter immediately because counties are waiting for us to make a decision on this formula. If we do not approve this formula, they will use the old formula to allocate resources to counties. I know that we have even passed the deadline for the approval of this formula, so that it can also go to National Assembly. We, as hon. Senators, ... view

For example, if we are talking about devolution in this country, then one of the first things we need to ... view
• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support that Communication. When we look at our Constitution, indeed, the word “Parliament” appears 358 times. Therefore, we need to fast-track some of these processes. It would benefit this House if we could continue having joint meetings. That is how we can harmonize this Parliament. I support you. view

• 19 Feb 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, if you want to recruit within the police force or the disciplinary forces, it takes care of all counties. No county will come out and complain that members of that county were not recruited. That is why I proposed that new amendment. view
