• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, back to my point, I was trying to illustrate how certain regions in this country have been neglected to the advantage of others. I would want to live in a country whereby the sugarcane farmer in western region--- view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was talking about the issues of the sugarcane farmers. I have said on the Floor of this House that Sen. Wetangula has been on the forefront, fighting for the farmers of the western region. I take cue from him and join him in saying that I would like to see a day when a sugarcane farmer in Kakamega will be treated the same way as a coffee farmer in the former Central Province. I want to see a day in this country when a sugarcane or maize farmer in Kakamega County will be treated the same ... view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: When you look at the public service, it is quite a shame that some of the communities in this country are not well represented. I hope that the BBI will sort out this problem. Let us not use this exercise to hoodwink some of us to pass it and then go back to the normal practices we have had. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In my valedictory remarks, I hope this document will sort out the mess we have had in the public service. Facts are facts, Sen. Wamatangi. In the evening, ask yourself who are the heads of the Executive, the Public Service Commission (PSC), the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), the Judiciary, the Chairman of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Director-General of KRA, the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) and the Chief of Staff General of the Kenya Defense Forces (KDF)? view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Who is the Attorney-General and where does he come from? Who is the Solicitor- General? Who is the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Public Service and Gender? Who is Kenya’s ambassador to the United States of America (USA)? We cannot lie to ourselves, Sen. Wamatangi. Answer those questions and you will come to a reality that we have marginalization in this country. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had recruitment of army officers across the country in all districts. However, since Independence, we have not had a Wanyonyi or Wafula heading the Kenya Army. We have not had an Inspector-General of Police called Walubengo. Is it that certain people from certain communities qualify more than others? view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: As I finish, I would like to request that--- view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I assure you that I am finishing, but I have realised that facts disturb even the dead. We need to ask ourselves why we are in this situation. I think that the BBI Bill is giving a solution to this. The BBI has provided for a substantive position for the Leader of Opposition. It is important for this country to have an opposition. We have problems right now because we do not have an opposition in this country. When I was in standard six, I learnt in my civics lesson that Parliament is made up of the ... view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: I am about to finish, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We do not have an opposition that checks the Government. In this House, the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader walk majestically in the corridors of this Parliament as conjoined twins. Nobody is checking on the other. It is important that we provide a slot for the opposition as we pass the BBI Bill. We support the BBI process. I will vote yes because this document will unite Kenyans. I will join and follow the directions that have been given by my leaders, Hon. Musalia Mudavadi and Sen. Wetangula. If ... view
