• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is one of the subjects being discussed at the UNCTAD. However, it is appropriate to get a comprehensive report which would require our committee to sit with the relevant CS and interrogate this matter properly and give a very informed response on the matter. view
• 21 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Women Enterprise Fund was set up by Parliament and is funded from the national revenue. A couple of the questions that have been sought are readily available on the website of the Fund. The details of the counties as well as details of some of the things that have been requested are in the annual reports that are submitted to both Houses of Parliament.

The issue of reconciling the two figures is a matter that we dealt with earlier and were not able to get a satisfactory response because the county government argues that there are delays and the ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important matter. We do not have a good record as a nation and this happened even when our distinguished Senator for Bungoma was a Minister for Foreign Affairs. We do not have a record of caring for Kenyans who are in countries that have problems. We are always the last country and we do not respond as fast and as efficiently as other countries do. I know of people who have been injured and are in hospitals in Kampala. When they were crossing the border by bus, the South Sudanese guys opened fire ... view
