• 5 May 2022 in Senate: I am appealing to our development partners like the World Bank, IMF and Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) who have been supporting the devolved functions that we now have a law. We shall not allow governors to get money that has no legal framework. That is what is important. The partners can now be comfortable that any money given to county governments will be transparently accounted for to the benefit of our people. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought a Statement about Kiambu County, but the Committee is yet to call me. I hope Sen. Farhiya will note that. The Statement ... view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate my friend and my senior in the profession, Senior Counsel, Sen. Omogeni. I hope to see him again in the third generation of Senate in the next few months, giving that experience and guidance to the Committee. I am happy that Sen. Omogeni is doing well together with other members of the Committee. I know that he took over when there were many challenges, but he has steered the ship safely. We can now see the legacy that has been built. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am happy because when the legacy shall be written with the history of this House, my name will also feature prominently considering that he took over from me. He has been my good mentor. I thank Sen. Omogeni because when I was arrested the other day, he cut short the high octane campaigns in Nyamira, travelled all the way and came over the weekend to visit me in Gigiri Police Station. He brought me words of comfort and encouragement; a cup of tea and something to bite knowing where I was, it is for everyone ... view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: When I got arrested in 2019, Sen. Omogeni came to court. He is a man that I have grown fond of and when I grow up, I want to be like him. He has always stood with me. He is always concerned about the welfare of all Hon. Members. Mr. Speaker, I understand you were held up somewhere. However, I thank Sen. Omogeni for finding time to come see me in Gigiri Police Station to wish me well, guide and pray for me. I thank Sen. Omogeni for good leadership of the Committee. I wish him well as he seeks ... view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are two things here. The first one is on the elections laws. We said that the issue of the election laws is not being taken seriously by Parliament. The Kriegler Report stated that we should not allow the amendment of the election laws within an election year. When the report was written, it was precise that the issue of election laws amendment, the issue of appointment of Commissioners and the reconstitution of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) should be done either 12 or 24 months earlier in order to build capacity within the IEBC. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: I hope that the Committee will guide us, so that in future, we will not need to be in a position to appoint Commissioners, discuss amendment of laws in an election year or amend and create laws within an election year. That one is dangerous because it erodes the credibility, accountability and transparency of the election process in this Republic. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as their exit legacy, I ask the Committee to advise the country that we be careful especially on amendment of election laws and the view

• 5 May 2022 in Senate: reconstitution of IEBC because we are only three months before the general elections. I am happy that IEBC is fully reconstituted. I am away they are now recruiting Returning Officers (RO), Presiding Officers and Supervisors. The process has picked in earnest. view
