• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Secondly, the people from special groups, like People with Disabilities (PwDs). I do not know how they get nominated. We should allow PWDs to be the principal decision makers and subject the beneficiaries to a vote. Finally, on this particular point, the people who get through these special seats, the 47 women elected in the National Assembly, plus whatever number we shall add them, should be allowed to run for that election only once. A woman MP representing a county should not be allowed to be re-elected more than once. They should learn the ropes in the first five years. ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: This is the way to go. Today, you are on top, tomorrow you are not. Today, you are on the strong side of the wind, tomorrow you are not. We want to build a country that gives all Kenyans equal opportunity. I see, for example, some noise building around certain members of the Cabinet; that probably X, Y or Z might be removed so as to pave way for the new look broad-based Government. I want to send an early warning that this will be wrong. Whoever is starting to raise issues on Dr. Debora Mulongo Barasa, if you think ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: After we voted in 1992, there was no closure until people jostled and before we could know it, there was something called cooperation because there was no closure of the presidential election. In 2007, there was no closure of the presidential election. It went on until our country went bust, only coming to be calmed because of the so-called Nusu Mkate . There must be a closure of a presidential election. Fast forward, 2017, you could not get closure of the presidential election. It went on with a lot of noise, loss of lives, destruction of properties until some Mongrel ... view

• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that confirmation. We want it to be in the open that an Oversight Fund is necessary. In the past few months that I have been allowed access to the Oversight Fund, I can see the returns. I can even see the number of vehicles that used to be in the governor’s entourage and the number of times the siren used to wake up sleeping villagers when the governor was from drinking alcohol at night going home. You could hear dogs barking. Since dogs have a higher sense of hearing than us, they could pick the ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: I think you guys call it in good English, sanitary towels. My daughter is seated there at the Clerk’s Desk. She normally teaches me good English. That cannot be the case because it is a lie. So, we need to audit these people. When Hon. Gladys Wanga was a Women Representative, she put up markets. Hon. Baraza is going around in Kakamega telling people that he has bought umbrellas. An umbrella of Kshs150 and that is what you have to show for your affirmative action? We can do better. The final point that I would like to make in my ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.105, not to interrupt the distinguished Senator, but to briefly point out that, this is a learning process for me and maybe quite a number of Kenyans. I, therefore, would like you to just use facts to inform me, supposing you moved either under Articles 255 or 254 and told Kenyans that I am giving you a referendum question or Parliament is attempting to amend the Constitution, so as to move Kenya from a multi-party democracy to a monarchy, would that still be constitutional? view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: The facts. I want the facts. view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg that you do not throw me out. I was being clever to see if I could get slightly more. Do not throw me out. I want to hear more from him. view
