• 2 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Our visits to various project sites were a kind of warning shot to indolent governors, that any time we will be visiting them, they must be on top of things. I urge them to complete their projects on time. Our visit to evaluate projects was of great importance to all of us, including Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, the Senator for Uasin Gishu County. Next time, because of the proximity of Machakos to Nairobi City County, I am praying that we visit Machakos County. view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have heard Sen. Kang’ata sort of attack judges in their pursuit of dispensation of justice. view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not support such practices. As a Christian, even without citing the Holy Bible or the Quran, I wish to read part of the preamble of the Constitution which states that- “We, the people of Kenya– ACKNOWLEDGING the supremacy of the Almighty God of all creation”. I do not need to explain that. Those who want us to go to Theology will be in trouble because the attributes of God are very clear. We are told that we were created in the image of God and that God is perfect and He is the truth. ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I think for a Member to be granted this opportunity, one has to walk all the way to the Chair! view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am wearing four glasses. I saw him walk there and he was given a chance. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: That is collusion, condonation and connivance. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: God is great! Finally! Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I think I will be the last because of the time factor. Mine is simple and quite different from previous speakers. Looking at the entire document, my concern is not the legalese in the intended Bill. Mine is on Clause 37, the one dealing with the profits of petroleum sharing and R factor. I do not know whether we were all blind. This is where the so called Western world fleeces the African economy. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: I totally differ with the scientific mathematical model which is given here. We need more time to scrutinise the model, especially, the R factor because initially before the parties zeroed in to the agreement, the government and the contractor share was 50- 50. Why must this always be 50-50? Why not 60-40? No one is questioning the mathematical intricacies. I remember referring to a similar case when I was studying petroleum law. I will table the equivalent of the formulas here. We have been given a raw deal. In countries like Nigeria, we have been given similar case. I think ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: My submission is that the model which has been given is dishonest. We need to revisit the scientific models so that our people can fetch optimum returns. I am not saying the Bill is bad. We will support the Bill subject to such articulation and modification. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to state that the position of the Speaker is equivalent to the position of a judge of the High Court of Kenya. The moment you issue a ruling or an order, you cannot vary it at will. In law, we know that once an order is issued, it is not issued in vain. The Deputy Speaker who was seated there clearly said that it will be given at 3.30 p.m. What is the meaning of 3.30 p.m.? In computation of time, it means 3.30 p.m. and there is no other ... view
