• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: we give money to EACC and DCI from taxpayers to fight corruption, but there is nothing to smile about. As a reggae song says, when you look outside the window, do you see anything to smile about? Our counties are becoming bastions of inefficiency, moribundity and corruption. Finally, on the issue of own source revenue, Nairobi City County, according to the Commission on Revenue Allocation report, has the potential to collect Kshs67 billion, but it is collecting Kshs12 billion. Where is 50 billion? Nandi County has a revenue potential of Kshs700 million, but it is collecting Kshs200 million. I see ... view

• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in August, 2024, I tabled a letter that I had written to the Parliamentary Joint Services (PJS). I have not received any feedback. Noting that the Senate is in session and the National Assembly is not, the services are slow. Early this week, when we resumed on Tuesday, the health club was closed. The food was not available and we had a power outage. We were told somebody who had the key to the generator was not in the house. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have noticed on the Facebook page called “Parliament of Kenya” they carried a ... view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Two, I need to see the insurance coverage in terms of the repairs to the chambers of this House. I want to request that Members are together on this. The PJS is undermining the Senate and no wonder they are sponsoring a Bill proposing that the Senate be abolished. You have seen the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs of the National Assembly coming up with a Bill to abolish us. We are facing an imminent threat. I need your direction, so that this House is accorded dignity and respect, so that we can discharge our work. I thank you. view

• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: I am privy, and I have told him in confidence, but he is doing a good job. That does not mean he is not doing a good job. view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you will need to protect Sen. Methu from the Senate Majority Leader because you can see the excitement of the Majority Leader on the matter. I wish to congratulate Sen. Methu, one of our youngest Senators in the House for proving, time and again, that he is equal to the task. We are proud that one of the youngest Senators continues to demonstrate good leadership skills, both in the Committee and in mediation. It shows the confidence of the House leadership led by the Senate Majority Leader to assign him to such serious tasks. We usually say ... view
