• 16 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you notice, there is a very thin line between who gets that kind of a Statement between us and the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. The other day, we had a debate whether the Statement by a Senator was referred to us correctly. Probably, those Statements have been referred to the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources view

• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to associate myself with the Statements. I listened to the debate of the National Assembly when I was in the car. In the spirit of the people from the mountain, I felt like jumping out and going to fight them. We have a saying in Mount Kenya region that says; when a night arrow is thrown at you and it is dark, you must throw it back to the same direction because that is where the target is. I want to also associate myself with what my colleagues have said. I do ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: I think the National Assembly Members need to acquaint themselves more with the Constitution. Maybe we need to throw the arrow back to them in the same direction it has come. The way they are saying that their mandate is to oversight the national Government, we should tell them that they have failed miserably. If you look at the debt issue - if that is what they want us to talk about - they have failed miserably. They need to tell Kenyans what they are doing in relation to the debt issue. When you look at issues of corruption, why ... view
