• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: I would like us to start from there and reflect individually why we came to Nairobi in this august House. Reflect and remember that once upon a time Singapore was part of Malaysia. However, because of extreme levels of poverty, Singapore was kicked out of Malaysia and the leaders of Singapore at that time rose to share a vision that poverty could not be the reason why they would be condemned in Malaysia. Today, because of that shared vision, they have grown Asia's most successful economy. I, therefore, want to appeal to our colleagues, just like you fought in your ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, having said that, allow me to speak to the agricultural sector in this Address. The President said a number of things, but I will speak to issues of sugar and coffee. For the first time in the history of this country, we have now produced surplus sugar. I am a sugar cane farmer and I can assure you that the reason was only one thing - subsidized fertilizer. I therefore urge the governors of Kwale, Tana River, Kakamega, Busia, Bungoma, Migori, Kisumu and Homa Bay to step it a notch higher by supplementing the ploughing of ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Nyeri, followed by Kirinyaga who are the highest in this new programme. Somebody tell the former Deputy President that you can play on social media, but on the ground, the people are the ones who are leading the Republic in embracing SHA and SHIF as it should be. I call upon the Senator for Turkana, Wajir, Mandera and Garissa to stop talking from Nairobi. They should go and tell the people in Turkana, Mandera, Wajir, Garissa and dear Kenyans to enlist in SHIF. They are the least--- view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: You will have your time to debate. I know, you are cleverer than me, so show your intelligence when your time comes. view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know, young Sen. Wambua sometimes admires me and I know on this particular score, he wants me to appreciate the fact that he is a journalist. I will tell him, it is said in Latin that facts speak for themselves; res ipsa loquitur . view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appeal to Sen. Wambua, my younger brother, to think--- Why would Nyeri register 20.8 per cent? As we speak, Wajir has registered 1.3 per cent. That is res ipsa loquitur in Latino. Sen. Wambua, you can interrupt me if you want. view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Sen. Wambua, the world is led by leaders. The leaders are not doctors, lawyers, engineers, or journalists. The leaders of the world are politicians. Since we are politicians, we should learn from history. The success that we are borrowing from the National Health Insurance Fund(NHIF) was a stroke of thought by a politician by the name of Charles Njonjo. Njonjo, who sat in this House. I will insist that we all return to the community and tell people to dial *147#. view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Sen. Wambua, when you reduce yourself to a heckler, we start wondering whether you went to the University of Kaparachonjo or one of the universities that we know. view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Why I will not hold any punch, I want to punch the educated people of this country, people with an income and an employment of this country. I want to punch them in the mouth because they are the ones who are misinforming the public that SHIF is expensive. They want their experience to be related to the boda boda and the mama mboga. It is a lie. SHIF is expensive because of the size of your purse. Nonetheless, for ordinary Kenyans, SHIF is cheaper than NHIF. If we go this route, we will ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for that minute. There have been so many frivolous points of order, including somebody I beat in English thoroughly, thinking that he could teach me English. I support strongly. view
