• 28 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in mourning the death of the former Member of Parliament for Amagoro Constituency, hon. Fredrick Oduya Oprong‘‘. I must admit with all honesty that I did not interact with the late MP, but I read about him in history. By the time he was elected as a Member of Parliament and joined this august House, I think I was still an idea or concept and had not even surfaced on this land. I have read in the annals of history that this was a great man. Being a man who emanates ... view
• 28 May 2019 in Senate: As I finish, I encourage the family with a Bible verse from Psalms 73:26, which says: ―That my flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.‖ view

• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to make a personal Statement in pursuant to Standing Order No.53. It states: ―During Statement Hour, a Senator may, by the indulgence of the Senate, explain matters of a personal nature although there is no question before the Senate, but such matter may not be debated.‖ First of all, I express my sincere gratitude to all the Members of the Senate who stood with me during the most trying moments over the weekend. I specifically thank the leadership of the Senate Minority and Majority, who came to visit me in the cell. ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: issue more seriously. I want to challenge the leadership of the security organs in this country to look into the Matungu issue more seriously. We, as a county, specifically Matungu Constituency, is understaffed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the police in Matungu Constituency do not have the equipment to fight crime. You cannot imagine that the entire Matungu Constituency has only three vehicles. One of them stalled, but it is being repaired in Eldoret Town while is the second one is being used by the Assistant County Commissioner in Matungu Constituency. Therefore, we only have one police vehicle to patrol the ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, I meant that we needed even to have people who can pretend to be mad so that they come up with the correct intelligence rather than employing children of rich people in this country. When I was arrested, it was very bad. I believe all of you have seen the video circulating on the social media. It is sad that we have even tribalised the police force. I was arrested by 15 officers. Of which, 13 are from the same tribe. When I was handed over to Kisumu Police Station, we had a situation whereby police officers ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: so as to know if they are helping this country. Recently, they merged the administration police and the Kenya police. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights to interrogate if the reforms are working or not. He should tell us if the reforms end on paper or whether they are helping this country. I want to assure the people of Kakamega that I will continue representing them and fighting for them. I recently requested for Statements from the Inspector General and the Cabinet Secretary regarding the Matungu issue. I want to insist that I will not be intimidated by the arrests. I will continue agitating for the rights of ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I request for an additional 30 seconds. I am surprised that the principles that founded our nation and those which are practiced under the watch of the Kenyan flag and the police crown yawn so wide and deep. Therefore, as a leadership, it is our responsibility to fight the enemies of democracy and put them in a situation where they will have to choose between giving us freedom or giving us death. view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to request for a Statement on the recent attacks and killings of residents of Matungu Constituency in Kakamega County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 48(1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations on the recent attacks and killings of residents of Matungu Constituency in Kakamega County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) state the exact number of families and persons attacked, injured, and, or killed by the gangsters; (2) enumerate the number of police officers serving in Matungu Subcounty and ... view
