• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, certainly I cannot attempt to introduce the BBI on the Floor of this House for the reason that the Supreme Court of Kenya made a serious pronouncement which guided the entire country. Amongst other things, the Supreme Court said that the BBI was a mongrel that was null and void. I would not want to be the mother who gives birth to a mongrel called BBI. view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to agree with Sen. M. Kajwang’. He is perfectly right. When I was disagreeing with the Senator of Siaya, I was doing so on the mongrel called BBI. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if there is need for us to relook at the Constitution, which many people agree, including the report of the Auditor General, that was ordered by the President, an audit that was concluded, the Auditor General consulted institutions of the Government. There was public participation. There was a recommendation on what needed to be done if a pedigree like that ... view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I am challenged, I will respond. This is not the first time we are allowing politicians to get away with serious offences. There was that one of Bomas. We all saw it and it was unfortunate. Before that, there was another one, where another politician swore himself in as a President. We must bring this to an end, so that view

• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: no one can ever swear himself in as a President or attack an IEBC official when he/she is discharging his/her constitutional mandate. view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator for Vihiga County could be suffering from an ailment of daydreaming when his eyes are wide open. I have not stated the name of any Member, neither of this House nor the other House. The word Senator could mean, I was referring to Sen. Cheruiyot, Sen. Osotsi or Sen. Olekina. It could be anyone of those people. Why are you forcing me? I laud the President for the concern that he has about agriculture which is the single largest sector that employs our hustlers. Therefore, if indeed our bottom-up agenda is going to ... view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is about the President. However, I was thinking of Hon. Gachagua, the Deputy President that is why I had a slip of the tongue. I invite this Senate and the National Assembly to help President William Ruto’s Government, by doing more. We need to be courageous as legislators and speak to the land tenure policy in this country. For as long as we continue sub-divide ancestral land into tiny and tinier pieces so that every brother has got his own piece, we will not achieve food security. It is important to have a clear policy ... view

• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, by saying “Mirembe mno” I was merely saying that she is telling the boyfriend, “may peace be with you, my lover.” I did not find it necessary to expound because that language I am speaking is spoken by seven million people. Under the Constitution, a language that has got that number of people does not have to be explained. It is expected that people from communities with fewer people will learn to speak the language of the bigger communities. For instance, you have to hear them and you are supposed to do business with them. Most ... view
