Yes, I have. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for seeing you today in the morning. After this, I will buy a hair comb for my brother, Sen. Methu. In fact, he has answered himself by insinuating. I did not say the NADCO Report has the name of Raila Odinga. As a leader, I believe Raila Odinga should serve this nation in any capacity. In my own opinion as the Senator for Nandi, I feel he should be given the position of Prime Minister. We need to expand and fully implement the NADCO Report. We are already having a broad-based ...

We hate seeing losers shouting at market centres and funerals. We want them to stop talking at funerals. We want them to come to the Floor of the House and critique the Government. I want to assure you that with the support of Raila Amolo Odinga, William Ruto will be elected by over 80 per cent. Raila Amolo Odinga and William Ruto will be re-elected by over 80 percent for his second term. In 2032 people such as Sen. Eddy Oketch tunaweza kuanza kujipanga at that level In conclusion, let us have an open mind. The young people of this ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the onset, on my behalf, my family and the great people of Nandi County, where we neighbour Kakamega County, where the late Hon. Malulu Injendi comes from; I want to pass my deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues, and the great people of Malava Constituency in Kakamega for losing such a humble and simple man. The trademark of Hon. Malulu Injendi was wearing a rosary. He was a staunch Catholic. He was a man who was very simple and respectful to all of us. I remember the last time we had ...

Elgeyo-Marakwet County. He was very jovial. He had a lot of wise words to tell us and the congregation and he was very respectful. I also met him a few weeks before he was admitted at the Health Club of Parliament and he looked jovial, he trained and he looked exciting. It is very sad that a few weeks ago, he had to be admitted in hospital. May the good Lord continue to give strength to his family. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just in conclusion, I remember the words of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, when President William Ruto was campaigning to ...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, of course, has a world gold medal on such matters. It goes without saying. Finally, on the issue of sugar reforms, I remember he was very instrumental in the Sugar Act that has been passed into law. Therefore, in honor of hon. Malulu Injendi, we must fully implement the Sugar Act and also give the village elders their remuneration and salaries in honour of hon. Malulu Injendi. The buck stops with the Ministry of National Treasury and Economic Planning. If we honor and respect the legacy of Hon. Malulu Injendi, let all village elders be given remuneration, ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I take this opportunity on behalf of my family and the great people of Nandi County, to pass our deepest condolences following the demise of our beloved colleague, Senator William Kipkiror Cheptumo. He is famously known in Baringo County by the nickname Lebaluk, or the enigma in Baringo politics. I commiserate with the wife and the people of Baringo for losing their beloved Senator, who also happened to have been the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have known Sen. ...

infamous de-whipping as the Chairperson of Justice, Legal Affairs, and Human Rights in this House. Although I am his junior both politically and in the legal practice, Sen. Cheptumo did not look down upon me. He used to encourage me by saying, “ itakuwa sawa .” You know some of us are rabble rousers; we shoot straight from the hip. After an episode of weekend high octane politics, where I always play number nine, he would tell me, “you did well, ulimaliza mtu . We would laugh about it. So, Sen. Cheptumo also served as the Chair of the Committee ...
