• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: If I did not hear you well, Mr. Speaker, Sir, have you committed the Statement to the relevant Committee? view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, very much Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to air my view with regard to this misbehaviour by the Chairman of the Council of Governors (CoG), none other than Hon. Wycliffe Ambetsa Oparanya. view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Anytime I go round Machakos, I hear the question as to who is the greatest between the Senator and Governor. I want to answer the people of Machakos, Kenya and the world that the greatest is not the governor. It is the Senator because we are people who fight for the monies. Without the monies, the governors cannot shine or even operate. I, therefore, settle that problem. view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Secondly, I understand from where I sit now, and I have seen from social media that my governor, none other than hon. (Dr.) Mutua, has effected that illegal directive by hon. Oparanya. I do know why Gov. Mutua is very fast. If that is the way he is going to campaign for the presidency, then I am sorry. He should have given it some thought. Did he sit with the County Executive Committee or consult his Senator, Dr. Kabaka, for him to come up with such an illegal and unreasonable decision? view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: If anyone is going to die, and I am following the cue of other senators who have spoken before me, then--- To follow the cue of the Senators who have spoken ahead of me, I would like to know what has become of governors in this country. The governors think that they are demi-gods but they are not. The governors are referred to as ‘His Excellency’ illegally and they think that they are so big. I am a lawyer so I know that there is no provision in the Constitution or any other instrument of law giving governors titles such ... view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: I went through Gov. Oparanya’s letter dated 9th September, 2020 and I am surprised that he did not cite an iota of any provision of the Constitution or any other legal instrument upon which he is basing his decision to direct all the 47 counties to shut down. Shame on Gov. Oparanya who I hear want to vie for presidency. I can assure him that he will never be a president in this country. Least of all, Gov. Oparanya should never come to campaign in Machakos County. view
• 21 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Petition by my friend, the Senator for Nyandarua County, Sen. Mwangi. He is a very experienced Senator having served both in the National Assembly and the Senate for some time. I do not want to repeat what has been said. That would be tautological. I only need to state that this issue of refugees in their own country is very touchy. It is not different from the international refugees who are suffering refugee camps. However, of necessity, the issue that I need to state is ... view
• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me pick from where Sen. Wambua’s mind was and conclude his idea and then zero in on my one point. The burden of proof as established in the Evidence Act, Cap. 80, ordinarily, is that he who alleges must prove it. So, those who brought the charges against the Governor of Kirinyaga County had the burden to prove it. As things turned out of the resolute determination by the Special Committee of this Honorable House, according to what my brother, Sen. Wambua of Kitui is saying - I should support him - is that, ... view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I have heard all the Senators raise the concern about misappropriation of public funds in the counties. It is a worrying trend how we have received similar issues view
