• 15 May 2019 in Senate: We went to Lelit Primary School which is a model school. They told us that they had supplied 100 per cent computers. However, when we arrived there, we were shocked to find that there were only 13 computers against 30 pupils. Out of 13 computers, it was only six that were working. So, we are wondering about such policies that are made in the MoE. A lot of taxpayers‟ money was spent on this programme, but the computers are not working. We will take the issue concerning teachers seriously because we are informed that the students have been in teachers ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to join you in welcoming the students from Syongiroi Senior Academy and the students from the Muindi Mbingu High School. I want to congratulate them for coming to this particular Senate; a House of reason. I want to say that Imara Secondary School from Chepalungu Sub-County and Constituency is a good school, one of the private schools endowed with a lot of discipline, very hard-working students and it is a school that has made us so proud in Bomet County. I congratulate each student here and also encourage ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, I welcome the students and urge them to visit in the near future. I congratulate them and may God bless them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also stand to support this particular Bill which provides a well structured framework that will guide public participation programmes in our counties. It is interesting to see how it is done under the current situation. I went through the document from the Controller of Budget. It is interesting to see how money is used in a reckless way in the so called public participation. I saw a county that has spent Kshs40 million in public participation while in medicine it has spent Kshs32 million. I believe that this Bill will provide a good ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: This Bill seeks to ensure effective public participations facilities. There is also a provision on criteria for the infrastructure and an assessment of infrastructural needs. Therefore the Bill is important to our counties and that is why we need to support it. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: I have gone through this Bill. What I can say is that it is timely and it will save our counties irregular expenditures because it provides a well laid down procedure on accounting for any expense during public participation. Therefore, I support this Bill fully because it is timely. view

• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to also join you in welcoming the visitors who are in the gallery. I want to support the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Ali concerning the status of the dam in Wajir County. The Committee concerned should take this Statement with a lot of seriousness. During campaigns, the President of the Republic of Kenya told us that water is very important if we are to realise the Big Four Agenda, particularly food security. However, the status of the 57 dams that were to provide a solution to the water problem and food security has ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is Lang’at. The Kipsigis use Lang’at while the Nandis and Keiyos use Langat. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to stand and support the nomination of Mr. Hilary Mutyambai. Based on this document, he is qualified and deserves the position of the Inspector General (IG). However, I would like to advise him so that he improves the police service in this country. I advise him to live above any political influence so that he serve this country diligently, without favour or fear. I call upon him to uphold ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: pity that the police officer was sacked for staying beyond the days he was given by his boss. He became so depressed and resorted to drinking. Today, his family is suffering. Another problem the police are facing is housing. They are living in deplorable conditions. You cannot expect somebody to work for this country so well when his welfare is wanting. To improve the police service in this country, we must look at their welfare also because good service is two-way traffic. Unless we improve their welfare, it is impossible to get good service from them. I salute CS Matiang’i ... view
