• 4 Dec 2024 in Senate: On the issue of audit, we need to audit bursaries. Sometimes we are told Ministry of Education gives out bursaries. Wings to fly by Equity, Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and others are okay, because those are individual support. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to audit how much bursaries were given under NG-CDF, Global Association Fund (GAF) and the counties. My county is being run down by Governor Sang’. We have never received bursary since 2017. He only brings a dummy cheque of Kshs60 million, take photographs and put them on social media. However, when you ask where are the ... view
• 4 Dec 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we must direct that the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) do a special audit on personal bursary funds that have been given through the unconstitutionality of NG-CDF and county governments. That report should be tabled to the Senate under special audit. The Senate can resolve to direct the OAG to give us a special audit on these bursary funds so that we adhere to Article 53 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. On this Motion on the consolidation of bursary, let us consolidate the entire bursary. Let us make education free from primary, ... view

I also pass our regards to the president-elect, Donald Trump. I hope he will look at Kenya this time around. I also pass our regards to Megan Whitman who was a very good Ambassador to Kenya.

I request the new president to support Baba Raila Odinga to be the African Union Commission (AUC) Chairperson going into the future because I know he ... view
• 3 Dec 2024 in Senate: I challenge the Somali Government to allow miraa from Kenya to access their market. I challenge President William Ruto who was elected the Chairman of the EAC to look into this issue. We congratulate him for being the new chairman. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope the Njuri Ncheke Chairman here, who is also your Deputy Speaker, Sen. Kathuri Murungi, will engage the new Chair of the EAC. Finally, the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare looked at recruitment agencies that take our sons and daughters abroad. I ask each and every Kenyan now that we have the State Department for ... view
• 3 Dec 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I want to congratulate Sen. Osotsi and also thank Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga and the ODM fraternity for giving him opportunity to be the ODM Deputy Party Leader. We received a warm reception in Vihiga. Vihiga is in my neighbourhood. Coincidentally, Sen. Osotsi is our in-law. The wife of Sen. Osotsi comes from Nandi County and I had to be there. As you are aware, in our culture, when somebody of the status of Osotsi is celebrating, the in-laws must be there. It looks like going into the future, UDA and ... view
• 3 Dec 2024 in Senate: political appointments especially in public service, must stop. Let somebody grow from the level of clerk to middle level manager to the level of running that organisation because they understand the challenges that face such an organisation. I am happy that Mr. Gerald Nyaoma Arita grew up within the rank and file of the financial sector and financial public service of this country. The only way we can inspire and encourage the public service to be vibrant is to allow people to grow within the rank and file of public service with ethics, being corruption free. I commend and thank ... view
• 3 Dec 2024 in Senate: better after William Ruto took over. We are talking about inflation rate of 2 per cent. Even when you walk around, you can feel money. Where I come from, we are selling maize at the moment. You have bonuses in South Rift and across the country. Therefore, let us allow the President to transform this country to a better nation. Inflation rate and the cost of living has significantly gone down, because we depend on the Central Bank of Kenya to stabilize and regularize the financial environment. Even the cost of living and food has gone down. Many other issues ... view
• 3 Dec 2024 in Senate: banking system is collapsing, you do not get your money back. We need to have a proper deposit protection fund that is ensured to cushion clients in the country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the issue of domestic debt and foreign exchange reserves, we would like to ask the Central Bank of Kenya to ensure it is stable. In balance of trade, where we import oil and food, if we do not have sufficient foreign reserves, it will always affect the stability of the shilling. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let us be honest. There is a time the US Dollar ... view
• 3 Dec 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you need to protect me. He is saying something in Kikuyu. You know, this gentleman nowadays is bald-headed. I do not know if he is a Member of Murima Defence Force or something. I support this Motion. Members, let us give Nyaoma Arita a chance. This is one of the nominees that we have never had a problem with because he has grown up in rank and file in public service. Members, going into the future, let us allow people to rise up through rank and file of the public service so that we can give ... view
