• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, during the election time, top presidential contenders, for example, the second President of this Republic, promised the people of Mwea that they will get title deeds. Therefore, due to the nature of the scheme, they could be given conditional sub-leases. The people of Mwea need the titles for several reasons. For example, to secure facilities in the banks, to clear hospital bills or act as a bail in the unfortunate event that they are arrested or presented in a court of law. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, urge the Committee to tell the people of Mwea when they will get their titles which have been promised to them. If that is done, the people of Mwea will be happy and will continue to produce the best rice and sustain the County of Kirinyaga as one of the greatest contributor to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country. view

• 2 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join my colleagues in saying that it was a wonderful event. The issue now is; how can we fast-track some of the issues that came up out of the deliberations that we had in Eldoret? We visited a number of projects with you. A number of issues came up. I urge that we expedite the issues that came up and showcase that our trip to Eldoret can bear fruits. Examples of the issues include, the Special Economic Zones – investors are suffering and do not get the right attention and the cooperative movement. When we ... view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We are the backbenchers, so it is possible that you were not seeing us. I support the Petition but my concern is that we have delayed compensation whereas we have borrowed heavily. One, therefore, wonders where the money goes to if we are not compensating the land owners who have been affected. The other issue is that delayed compensation and money need to attract interest. This is because these people are losing a source of production. They need to move on and be productive by way of getting the money. I say this because the ... view
• 18 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I stand to support the disbursement schedule. We will definitely require to see results for the Kshs314 billion that we are taking to the counties. Once in a while, I look at counties as a firm or organisation. I look at the electorate as the stakeholders or shareholders. At the end of the financial year, shareholders ask what the bottom line is. They also ask what you have done with the money that they entrusted to you to do business and carry out issues or development. Several issues have been mentioned by ... view
• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I also stand to express my concerns on what is happening, as I support Sen. Sakaja on how the Chinese have been treating our fellow Kenyans. For those who have read history, there was a gentleman called Mugo Kibiru, and I come from that lineage.

• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise also to support the Bill on public participation. From the start, public participation is a way of ensuring that citizens get value for money. We have seen several projects that are coming up in our counties. We have seen for starters how the budget is made. However, there is one question we keep on asking ourselves. Yes, we have made the budget and asked people to participate by telling us what they would want included in the budget. However, one keeps on asking whether there is a mechanism of feedback to ensure ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Bill. I will start by persuading the proposers of the Bill to seriously consider moving an amendment at the Committee Stage to include using of the highly trained NYS graduates in disaster management. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am a graduate of the NYS because I went there for pre-university training before joining the university. I can confirm that the young people trained at the NYS are well-disciplined. The country has come of age where we need to have firefighters like the ones we see in other developed countries. In terms of disaster ... view
