• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Since I will make my decision after consulting the oracles and talk to Koitalel Arap Samoei and many others, I want to appeal to the people of Wajir County Assembly and specifically the Governor, if you survive this, there is a lot of work that needs to be done in Wajir County Government. There is a Petition on corruption in Wajir County. Not all is well in Wajir County. Governor, even if you survive, you must go back and deliver for those people. You have served as a Cabinet Secretary and an Ambassador, why do you not use those managerial ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. The process of impeachment is not legal per se. It is more of a political process that has been established. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a lighter touch, the Kenya Airways (KQ) just reported that unfortunately, Stella is not coming back; the famous song that she is the first lady to ‘eat’ an international fare unlike the local ones who ‘eat’ matatu fare. Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the onset this process is so sacrosanct and important. We are not only making a decision about the Governor, but also the people of Wajir. The ... view

• 17 May 2021 in Senate: look at the jurisprudence of impeachment across the world, some people have been impeached from office not on criminality issues, but sometimes on civil issues, incompetence and morality issues. Therefore, it is more of a political process as opposed to a legal process. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when Wajir County Assembly impeached the Governor before us had 17 accusations levelled against him. For some of us who were following keenly, we wanted to give the Governor, the County Assembly and the great people of Wajir County - who are more than 755,000 or thereby; 49 persons per square kilometre and one ... view

• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have looked at the report. I have read allegations raised by the County Assembly. We appreciate the role the county assemblies are doing across the country. We know their role. They provide what we call primary oversight that we have as a nation. That is the authority that they are vested. The Senate, county assembly and county governments must partner for our devolution to work, effective and efficient, so that it does run into inefficiency or become moribund. This is because the ultimate consumer of service delivery is the ordinary Wanjiku. Going by that fact, there ... view

• 17 May 2021 in Senate: end of the day, there was no nexus to prove that the spouse of Governor, Mrs. Omar, and the daughter called Farhiya--- I hope she is not related with the Senator we have here. I believe it is just a name. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there was no nexus even the banking deposit that they gave us, how can we convict? When you bring a document that is not authenticated, the evidence in law is not clear. We know that in River Road, here in Nairobi, I can cook and come up with an unauthenticated letter and present it to the ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: On that, I was keen; I have looked at the Report and the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) statement which was not authenticated. In future, we do not want first ladies running county governments and we hope they will stick to their lanes. In one instance and all of us followed the allegation by the County Assembly that the governor holds - Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have been a governor - meetings that relate to running of a county in his official residence. You expect the spouse to be there to prepare tea for you. If you do not take tea ... view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: I agree with Senators and I wanted to be short because they say brevity is the soul of wit. On the issue of health, under Article 43 of the Constitution, the right to health and economic social rights is a fundamental right. It is in the Constitution that the President of the Republic of Kenya, President Uhuru must give us reports on the status of implementation of economic and social rights. The right to health is key. I have looked at the issue of health and our counties are in a crisis. As we talk, in March 2021, Nandi County ... view
