• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to laud the Senator of Taita-Taveta County. The issue of the role of chiefs is truly misunderstood. Chiefs and assistant chiefs are important; you do not have to ask. The moment you enter Magarini and meet an assistant chief, their discipline, demeanour and grasp of local issues is always congruent to what I find in Lwakhakha in Bungoma. What is lacking is the national appreciation of their work. Mr. Speaker, Sir, look at the critical area of alternative resolution of disputes. Chiefs and assistant chiefs are the only ones who are not corrupt ... view

• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: It has taken so long. I remember Hon. Maalim taught me one thing though he was much younger than me, probably a first timer, but he taught me that in politics, if you like somebody, do not like him 100 per cent. If you like somebody, do not like him 100 per cent. Like him 50 per cent because he can disappoint you. The Member of Parliament of Magarini, back in your home, was asked to go back to the people and legitimise his election because of the finding of a court petition. Seven wards are waiting for this particular ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to respond or rather to put it in a proper balance, to reply. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is to reply. You just caught me when I was correcting myself. You know I went to Malinya Primary School, where my headmaster, the late Andrew Makwaka Imbundu, was very keen on English. He made sure we spoke good English. That is why you saw me quickly run away from the word “respond” to “reply,” unlike my kid brother, Sen. Sifuna, who was at Kakamega Primary School. He cannot even remember the name of his teacher who taught him English. That is how Gen. Zs are. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: So, I rise to reply. I want to thank all colleagues. Regarding the challenges raised, I came in when the Senate Majority Leader was responding to them; they were purely administrative and no ill-intent. The point is made and I look forward to us having a good Chairperson of the IEBC. Nothing is greater. The history of chairing elections in this country is replete with all manner of challenges, and I hope that the people I saw being interviewed will be up to it. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: With those many remarks, I beg to reply. view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to tell the Prime Cabinet Secretary, good morning. Prime Cabinet Secretary, these refugees ended up in Ethiopia because of the fight that was taking place between the Borana, Rendile and the Gabra. Sadly, our colleagues, hon. Abdi Sasura, hon. (Dr.) Bonaya Godana, hon. (Dr.) Guracha Galgalo and the former Assistant Minister and MP for Nakuru, hon. Mirugi Kariuki lost their lives when they were going to address this issue. These people ran out of the country. So, it is something that evokes bad feelings in the leadership of this country. I, therefore, fail to understand ... view
