• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the U.S. is one of the biggest donors to elections in this country. She was very instrumental. She was among the people who were in Bomas with you. I am surprised; you should be appreciated. view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, yes, I am tying up with what is happening in the genesis of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO). The U.S. is one of the heaviest funders, not only to peace and security, but to elections in this country. She was very supportive and we wish her well in her tour of duty. Secondly, you have to appreciate the cost of election is very expensive. This has been my argument. In the last election of 2022, Kenya spent a whopping Kshs35.8 billion.

• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: The other day, we did not trust use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in elections. Now, we want to trust it. There is a time we were told that there was José Camargo somewhere. There is also a time we were told that servers were in France. You all remember the famous phrase, “ fungua server”.

• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as a Deputy Party Leader of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and a senior Member of broad-based Government, he should hold his horses. We are, therefore, advising to have a clean-up and ensure that it is delivered. view
• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Otsotsi should allow me to quickly finish. He can make his comments when he is contributing. I agree with Clause 34. Can you believe we have a Ugandan MCA in Wajir County? He was however nominated from Nairobi. He does not know where Wajir County or the County Assembly of Wajir is. You will also find them in Kericho and Vihiga counties. These political slay queens and kings must be stopped. I agree.

• 13 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me rephrase it. It is good to smile to political party leaders and get angry at them. The Bible says that the guilty are always afraid.
