• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: heightened campaigns, jostling and pushing for executive power because, one, the winner takes it all. Two is because there are only two positions. Madam Temporarily Speaker, we must have an expanded Executive where we have the President, the Deputy President, Executive Prime Minister, two Deputy Prime Ministers and we have a leadership that is clear. I do not see the need to appoint a Member of Parliament (MPs) and they resign; we go for by-election and the country incurs expenses. Let us allow MPs be appointed to the Cabinet. Let us give them sitting allowances in the Cabinet and save ... view

• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: to challenge the implementation of the law and the regulations are not published. When we try and explain to people that the regulatory making authority has not brought us regulations, they imagine we are abdicating our duty. I agree the punishment should be around Kshs2 million. The proposed fine of Kshs500,000 is chicken change. We must have at least Kshs2 million because we are punishing a Cabinet Secretary. Let us assume the parents regulatory making authority should be the Ministry. If you are now punishing or fining only a Minister, Kshs500,000, you can imagine they will just laugh at you ... view

• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: In the explanatory memo under Section 5A of the Statutory Instruments Act of 2013, one of the grounds is public participation. They must show how consultation was done to ensure we do not open it up for challenge. We are not saying courts should not interpret the law, or question the process of Parliament. I remember in Speaker Mate’s case where a court said we cannot challenge a process, especially on impeachment, that we only challenge at the tail end. We are not saying courts should not challenge, but we are worried when courts want to overreach their mandate to ... view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, why is it that on all matters that are pro-Government, courts are quick to issue injunctions, and we are Kenyans? Courts do not exist in isolation. We must question them. We are funding them. We gave them Ksh20 billion through appropriation the other day. Why are the courts quick to issue injunctions on Government programmes? I have tremendous respect for the Chief Justice. She should come and tell us the reasons they are issuing temporary injunctions against the Government programmes. She can tell us that it is because of X, Y, Z. Colleagues, this is one way ... view

• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Nandi County has got Kshs486 million today, but when you go to the ground, you do not see anything. The only thing my Governor is doing is demolitions in Kapsabet Town. He is throwing women out. Sen. (Dr.) Oburu knows Kapsabet and he should know that the market he used to talk to me about has been demolished by the Governor. In fact, Sen. Orwoba should be raising her voice against women being thrown on the streets in Kapsabet and Namgoi towns. I want to hear the voice of Sen. Orwoba on this issue, because this is femicide. view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: How to you define a case where one destroys the place where women sell their wares in Kapsabet and Namgoi towns? How do you define a situation where one throws them on the streets to a point where they cannot feed their children? Is Governor Sang not committing femicide? Why throw women on the streets? Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a sad reality that we must fight. I call upon the House leadership, under the guidance of President William Ruto and Raila Odinga, to look into how to deal with corruption in counties. Taifa Leo, on Sunday, reported of counties ... view
• 27 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Chairperson. The report on the county assemblies is a straightforward matter. County assemblies concentrate more on recurrent expenditure than development expenditure. As the Chairperson said, we, as a committee, need these entities to appear before us to get the second bite to the cherry as these entities explain their expenditure. The Nandi County Assembly Chambers have yet to be completed. So, you will find that in one financial year, they are requesting only the development of the cafeteria. There was an issue of the Speaker’s Residence. Recurrent expenditures, especially imprests, become ... view
