• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: the Senate, have failed to make progress. We have failed in our constitutional obligation as provided for under Article 217 of the Constitution. Madam Deputy Speaker, we were ready to put this matter to rest. The more we procrastinate as the Senate, it paints a bad picture before the public. Many people have argued that it will divide the country. There are many decisions that we have made here before. We kicked out Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. Is Tharaka Nithi or the country divided as a result of that? No! Let us stop the hogwash that we are selling to the ... view

• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a contrary view, because what we are telling Kenyans is that there are some things that are more important than others in our Order Paper. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: The Order Paper has been designed for a specific reason. Upon your guidance, what we should do is to ensure that we minimize the discussion based on the items that have been put in the Order Paper. By the telling the country that since the revenue formula is more important than Petitions or other Statements of significance, then we are lying to the nation. Let us stick to the rules that we have created and the Standing Orders that we have. The revenue formula will come and go, but there is more important business that we can discuss. I thank ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the amendment by the Senate Majority Whip, Sen. Kang’ata. I was of the view that the proposals be implemented immediately because an addition of Kshs1.4 billion to Nandi County would have done wonders. However, I am a patriot and I have looked at the issues that have been raised. I did not want the implementation to even delay for one year, but I have a big heart and I am compassionate to our friends. That is why I have accepted this. In 2007, President George W. Bush told Iran that all ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: As we delay the immediate effect of this formula, I challenge the counties to work on innovative ways of generating own source revenue. The Senate has been fighting for more allocation to counties, but the governors have been cutting a deal with the national Government behind our back. There was a time when we were pushing for the Kshs329 billion yet the governors had already made a decision with the national Government for Kshs316 billion. We challenge the governors to be innovative so as to generate own source revenue. I support this amendment. view
