This will be in terms of any policy changes or legislative framework that ... view

• 29 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for this wonderful Motion.

• 16 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The goodness is that my teacher, the Senate Majority Leader is here. So, you can be sure I cannot make any mistake. I wish her well. Her Curriculum Vitae (CV) is impressive. She has always managed the second largest party very well. Most of the colleagues from the ODM side have benefitted through her hands. They are a blessing because most of them succeeded to be here. We encourage her, that when she sits at that point, to be neutral and give the necessary “Solomonic” guidance in ensuring that we discharge the business of ... view

• 10 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Before I second, I can make one or two observations. The County Wards Development Equalization Fund Bill (Senate Bills No. 5 of 2018) sponsored by Sen. Kang’ata is very important because it meets the objects of devolution, as per Article 174 the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. One of the objects is to ensure that we carry on with socio-economic development to the lowest level that we have. In the objects and the spirit of Article 174 and devolution, is that we should be looking at the possible ways we can devolve the functions as envisaged ... view
• 8 May 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I join my colleagues in thanking the President for the wonderful State of the Nation Address. I agree with most of what my colleagues have said regarding what the President mentioned. All of us agree that this is the first time, after the ‘handshake’ that he was addressing the nation from the platform of unity, development and focus, especially on the Big Four Agenda. I thank the President because he highlighted some of the key achievements over the last five years and laid down the basis for his legacy, going forward. There ... view
