• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, listening to the tone of the Chairperson and that of Sen. Kagwe and their demeanour, it should strike the Chair that what they are doing is over and above giving us information which we want. Since when was the Chairman given power to defend information which is not his? He is a conveyer. Can the Chair direct that it is not his responsibility to defend the ills that are ongoing at the National Bank? He should give us that information and we shall live with it. We are protecting the depositors. view

In an off-the-cuff debate ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second this Bill which is in our circle of events in the Senate. I thank the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget for offering me the opportunity to second it. First, may I share with Members what Mahatma Gandhi said. This is what he said:- “The world has enough for the needs of all men and women, but not enough for the greed of a few men.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when I look at the increase in the amount of money that we are taking to the county governments - that ... view

• 21 Apr 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You know, fighting corruption is difficult. Kenya will be a wonderful world the moment a critical number of Kenyans who are in constitutional offices will make it their business to fight corruption and that is the way to go. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am concerned by what goes on in the 47 counties by virtue of having been the Chairperson of the CPAIC until recently.

I will not mention the two people who should also lead by example. view
