• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to support this Procedural Motion. However, I was disappointed by the Selection Panel. I expected serious questions on integrity, but members of the IEBC Selection Panel are underwhelming because they have been asking kindergarten and pedestrian questions. I know you are an expert because you have worked as Director of Elections and participated in electoral processes. You could see that members of the Selection Panel did not know what they were doing. That is unfortunate. Some of us are constrained because of constitutional timelines. We are looking at the greater picture which is good ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: That aside, since this country has to move and in the spirit of bipartisanship and Broad-Based Government, I appeal to Sen. Wambua to support the process. With tremendous respect, I will not mention the name. I saw his leader objecting the process. Why is it that opponents of President William Ruto fear having the IEBC in place? Is it because they fear elections? They must allow it to happen. view

• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Okay, thank you. On the issue of review and delimitation of boundaries of the constituencies, we must fastrack. For example, in Nandi, I have the biggest ward called Kilibwoni, which we would want to review. However, we have a number of protected constituencies that do not meet the criteria. Secondly, there are so many by-elections, including Magarini, Banisa, Baringo County and Malava. If hon. Ruku succeeds to be the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service we will need a by-election in Mbeere North Constituency. We need the IEBC to be in place to conduct by-elections. Finally, I was misquoted. I said ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: to Cabinet, so that we save the country the agony of by-elections and paying double salary since we will only need responsibility allowance? I was misquoted. The cost of a voter in 2022 was Kshs 2,500. The best practice is Kshs600 per voter. It means the conduct of election per voter is still very expensive in this country. When hon. Ruku is appointed to the Cabinet Secretary, we should just give him responsibility allowances so that he can still come to Parliament while serving in the Cabinet, so that we save salaries. People who are misquoting me do not have ... view
