• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What was the meaning of devolution? Devolution was to take services closer to the people. If you cannot take health, education, agriculture and water closer to the people, then it ceases to be devolution. You must look for another English word to define what it is that you think you are devolving. With all due respect to the structure of Parliament and the arrangement of the Standing Orders both in the Senate and in the National Assembly, there is need for us to consider what departmental committees we need in the respective Houses. Do we ... view
• 19 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was wondering before the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay withdraws and apologizes, if we could look at Standing Order No.90-- view

• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to draw to your attention that you should have given the Senator an opportunity to decide whether he wants to move a substantive Motion at a later stage-- view

• 19 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, granted that there was an attempt to give me a good grade, I would like to address my friend, Angela Ambitho.

In view of the fact that this is a very unique matter that led to the riots being ugly and caused loss of lives and property in Narok, could I request the Chair to consider the possibility of finding that the Senator was wrong to move under Standing Order No.45(2)?

• 14 May 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to extend my congratulations to that delegation for coming here because just a few days ago, we were led by Sen. Mositet to a fact-finding session in Kiambu County on the issue of taxation. Since the children are here, we learnt that for every litre that an old woman milks from her cow, she has to pay the county government 30 cents. Since some of these children are children of those poor women, they should leave knowing that the Senate is up and ticking and this injustice will not continue ... view
• 14 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just like Sen. (Dr.) Machage, I served in the EAC. One of the things we used to do on a weekly basis was to brief the President on what we had discussed in Arusha. That is how the EAC works. view
