• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Sure enough. He is my younger brother. view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that was a slip of the tongue. Thank you for the correction. Indeed I am convinced that as soon as this law is effective, you will even see downsizing in the number of employees in the county governments. You cannot believe it; I know of a Governor whose name I do not wish to reveal on the Floor of this House because I will be reducing the seriousness of the debate this afternoon, who has four grade cows and the boy who looks after these cows is paid a salary from the county government and yet he ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: I know of a Governor whose workers in the rural village are paid a salary from the taxpayers. Even the boys who take care of my two bulls, I do not pass over that bill to the taxpayers. I have a salary and pay them myself. I also pay the house girls who take care of my children. We must be very forceful. The success of this Senate will neither be measured by the nice English that we shall speak in public fora when we are in the company of Governors nor on the Floor of this House. It will ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like the young Senator, who has been using helicopters, to forgive me, but allow me to inform him that over 2,000 years ago, none other than Jesus Christ of Nazareth used a donkey and he is more remembered than all the moguls of the United States put together with those ones of Britain, who have used means beyond even the helicopter that we are talking about. But anyway, that was with a light touch. Madam Temporary Speaker, as the country watches us fight this particular issue of putting a ceiling, it should ask itself: “What ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for the Communication that you have just made. Our key role is to protect the county governments. There is the arm of the county government known as the county assembly, how nice it would have been that in the programmes you see how to factor this in, so that it stands out clearly that besides what we do here, like our sister House at the National Assembly, we also have a role in the counties. I do not know whether it is too late for you to ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, you are right that because of the timelines involved, the House cannot be held back. But it is important that we also start considering the possibility for possible sanctions. I know, for example, that I had the Bill for the seat of County Governments where we wanted to put in a law to specify which town the seat of the government will be to avoid conflicts. Believe me or not, this report did not come. After the Second Reading is when now I am starting to get isolated reports from different counties on what they think. ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Deputy President, but also remind him that this is not the era for roadside declarations. I hope that he will follow it up quickly with--- view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just sticking to procedure, so that we are seen to be a country that is led by the dictates of the Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, may I also speak to the other plight, namely, the HELB. When young people leave university and do not get an opportunity to be employed, they face a penalty of 5 per cent. So, by the time a youth then gets a job, the university follows him or her up. I know of a boy from Bungoma who was in my office, who has been paying this ... view

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, there are those in this country who believe that the increased rate of poaching especially against elephants is because of the increased number of Chinese traders in the country.
