• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to quickly congratulate Prof. Tom Ojienda. I had thought his thinking is limited to law, but I can see he appreciates business. Considering the issues he has raised on the SGR, the Parliament of Kenya and SGR must put pressure on the Executive to roll out SGR whilst understanding it as the new way to expand the economy of Kenya. Kenya's largest trading partner is Uganda, and therefore if this SGR will go to that direction, then we are speaking to the big picture. I, therefore, want us to please Sen. Onyonka there ... view

• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: billion for a programme that is not functional. On what do they want to expend these Kshs2 billion? This country is so rich.

They have allocated Kshs65 million to Kajiado County. ... view
