11 Oct 2016 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Okong’o for informing the country that neither Sen. Sang nor Sen. Murkomen are veterinary officers. If they were, they would have understood that there is a difference between cows and bulls. If you do cow fighting in your community, please, do not bring that to Kakamega County. I, therefore, invite the former speaker, hon. ole Kaparo to summon the Deputy President to record a statement and justify why he keeps on insulting the Abaluhya culture. I support.

6 Oct 2016 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, like Sen. Murkomen has said, we need to pay tribute to these MCAs who have thought it necessary to refer this matter to this House. As we do so, we have to be extremely cautious and ask ourselves, under Article 96 of the Constitution, does this House have the power to make decisions on the budgets of county governments? We have to remember ---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we went on recess, you never had such a nice crop of grey hair. Indeed, you have started looking like Dr. Kofi Annan.

6 Oct 2016 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. My real reason why I support this is the allegation by these MCAs that the budget estimates did not adhere to the ceilings adopted by the Assembly in the Fiscal Strategic Paper. If this is true, then there is every reason for us to do what they are asking. However, in all fairness, let us remember that under this Constitution, the county government is only required by law and that clause reads “May”.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Nyamira is telling the Republic of Kenya, live, that MCAs of Kisii defile children and that is a very important assertion.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot be satisfied because I was not asking for too much. I just wanted to protect the integrity of the majority of MCAs in Kisii who do not have such a matter on their hands. He will do very well to state the names of the two MCAs so that the respect and integrity of other MCAs is upheld, not just by this House but the rest of the country.
