• 13 Apr 2023 in Senate: Northern Kenya. Equalization means everybody should have equal opportunities but that is not the case. The Committee also had issues with the so-called Managed Equipment Services (MES). They have allocated Kshs5.86 billion on top of what they have located to the counties, which is about Kshs4 or 5 billion. The CoB was complaining about monies going to the counties. When we were in Mombasa, she said that she cannot access county governments’ accounts. Some county governments have about 40 accounts and the money cannot be tracked. She said that she has no authority to access those funds. She has to ... view
• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am completely confused. I am not a lawyer, but the things happening here today are really confusing. People are talking about Articles in law, but I thought if there is any issue that can be discussed about the law, the Supreme Court of Kenya can interpret that law better than anybody else.

• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would want to talk about a trip that we went to Nanyuki; Kenya Kwanza was invited by the President. The Cabinet Secretaries were there and the President said that he wants the Cabinet Secretaries to come before the Senate and the National Assembly to answer Questions. Then I asked myself, is he really serious? Later on at State House, he talked about the same thing. Regularly, he has been talking about Cabinet Secretaries coming before the National Assembly and the Senate. I want to remind by brothers on the other side that if today ... view

• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: to mention the name. I can mention Sen. Okiya Omtatah. He can still go to court and stop it. However, our job here is to pass and support this Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, about a month now, we have been having issues in this House. There was a problem about leaders in the Opposition and we solved it. We do not want to waste more time. We want to do away with this Motion. I come from Marsabit County where many people do not have the privilege to watch television. They do not have even radios, but use phones. Those ... view
