• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: This is going to stop the worldwide principle that education is a social equalizer. Education under CBC will never be a social equalizer. Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) is attempting to take 10-year-old children to boarding school where they will be in the same compound with boys who are aged 17 and 18 years old. It cannot work. view
• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: CBC is attempting to re-train teachers. A teacher aged 55years old is being told to go back to school and he has five children aged between 20 to 25 waiting to go to Teachers Training College (TTC). Who will sponsor them? CBC has eroded the spirit of free primary education that was rolled out by the late President Mwai Kibaki and his Vice President Michael Kijana Wamalwa. We must say no to CBC. view
• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: The second thing I want to discuss with the people of Kakamega County is the innovative Hustlers Fund. We encourage our people to take it up. Hustlers Fund is important. I have seen laughable things on social media where some rich people are asking what you can do with a loan of Kshs500 or what you can do to repay a loan of Kshs20,000 in two weeks. I tell our people that we should take a mug of busaa in celebration. view
• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: When Geoffrey Abuna or Tom Makhaya, one of the youths in Malinya will go to that Lubao Market and ask for Kshs20,000, they will fall on the phone instantaneously and he will buy cheap cattle from Nandi County. They come there every Thursday. He will buy a cow for Kshs20,000 and the following day, he will drive it to the next market view

• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: at Malimili and sell it for Kshs22,000. In one day, Mr. Abuna would have made Kshs2000. Instead of having nothing, on day two, he will be having Kshs22,000. If he goes a second round, he is going to have Kshs24,000. What will stop him on day four from paying back the Kshs20,000 and being Kshs4,000 richer? While still there, he can instantly re-apply for the money and because he has paid on time, he will qualify for a slightly higher figure. Do not sell fear to our lowly educated people; some of whom are hustlers. view
• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: I have a cousin who hawks and sells boiled eggs in Kakamega County. If you give this guy Kshs500, he buys a tray of eggs, boils them and sells. He makes profit at the end of the day. I have another cousin called Shinabukoshi. He pushes a hand cart in Kakamega Town. In the morning when he wakes up, he is supposed to pay Kshs100 to get the handcart. If he borrows Kshs1000. He will use Kshs100 to pay and get the handcart. view
• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: He will quickly run with it to the market and pick bags full of Irish potatoes which have been brought in by trucks from Nyandarua. He will then drive the cart very fast to Khayega and there he will sell some. At the end of the day, Shinabukoshi who does his business between Khayega and Kakamega Town, four Kilometers apart; in the evening when he goes home, he will have Kshs2500. This is the way to go. Thank you, President Ruto, for this. view
• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: My final comment on this is to thank the President for making his Government all inclusive.
