• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to join you in welcoming the delegation from Estonia. It is a wonderful country that I once visited; particularly the museum in Tartu is very big and holds up to 1.3 million tourists. I welcome them to our beautiful country. We also have wonderful features that they can visit in this country. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in Senate: May I also take this chance to welcome the students from Bungoma and Nairobi counties to the Senate. They will learn that this House represents counties.

• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Statement. We can all see that Sen. Sakaja did research about the rate at which the lions are decreasing in number. That is worrying. It is important that the Committee that will address this particular issue will have to deal with the current statistics first, so that we know how many lions exist. It is also important to know the real threat to these animals beyond the imagined. We should know the real threat to these animals, so that the problem is addressed scientifically. It ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to make comments on this very important Report. It is very important because the work of this Senate is to provide effective oversight. We can do that very well by regular examination of reports by the Auditor-General. Madam Temporary Speaker, our counties have got a lot of issues that need to be addressed, as they have been highlighted here very effectively. One of the issues is under- expenditure or low utilization of funds allocated for specific purposes. I have discovered that most of the counties do not adhere very correlatively to what ... view
