• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Allow me to continue. I was saying that I am alive to the fact that we exist in the ―handshake‖ environment. However, this should not compromise our legislative stand in this House. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I choose to ignore and continue. We need to appreciate the establishment of the different arms of government in the Constitution. The Legislature is an arm that is supposed to be independent. What I am seeing in the legislative arm is a compromised lot of leadership. The National Assembly is behaving like schoolboys. It is sad that the National Assembly and its leadership can be coerced to amend a mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill. Therefore, my point is, let the ―handshake‖ be out of the Chambers of this House. Let us perform ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have consulted as the Minority side and that is our position. When Sen. Malalah speaks, he speaks on behalf of the Minority side. Therefore, that is the position of our side; that we will perform our role as the opposition as we move forward. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In as much as I would like to agree with my colleagues, the Senator for Kericho County, by the time we passed the inclusion of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill on the Order Paper, the Bill had not been assented to. Therefore, we cannot fully put the blame on the SBC. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have been arm-twisted to support this Bill. Never the less--- view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been forced to support this Bill. Nevertheless, allow me to have my focal attention on the general public of the citizenry of Kakamega and more specifically the Governor of Kakamega County. Let it be known that today through my vote as the Senator for Kakamega, I have given Gov. Oparanya Kshs10,412,850,000 as the equitable share. Further, through my vote today, I have given a Kshs737,368,864 as conditional grant. As Gov. Oparanya receives this money, I want him to put this money into proper use. When I go to Kakamega, I want to see the ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let it be known without any iota of doubt that when I give Gov. Oparanya this money, he should prioritize his view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: projects. It is absurd that in the 2018/2019 Financial Year, he prioritized to tarmac roads at a cost of Kshs70 million per kilometre yet we have rural roads which are impassible. Mr. Governor, the Malava-Samitsi Road is impassible yet it--- view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you introduced me as the Deputy Minority Leader. Therefore, it is good enough if you give me enough time. I request for two more minutes. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was saying, the Malaba-Samitsi Road is impassible. The Matunda-Kona Mbaya Road in Likuyani Constituency is impassible. In Lugari, the Lumakanda-Marakusi, the Manyuki-Land Nyuki Roads are impassible. It is sad that the Kakamega County Government prioritized to do a house for the governor at a cost of Kshs76 million yet my friend, Mr. Benson Khahere, from Shamberere Village lives in a shanty grass thatched House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I give Gov. Oparanya a cheque although not a blank one. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will continue doing my oversight role on the same funds. ... view
