• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For guidance and precedence purposes, I want to understand whether the seconder is supporting or opposing the Bill. This is because the content of his contribution is as if he is opposing, yet he is supposed to second. I would like to understand if a seconder can be allowed to oppose just for precedence and guidance purposes. view

• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I oppose it with a primary reason that Kakamega County will lose Kshs297 million out of this arrangement. A sum of Kshs297 million is enough money to build almost 250 Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) classes in Kakamega.

People think that we are a bunch of idol people. However, I remind them that our role is entrenched in the Constitution under Article 96.

• 30 Apr 2019 in Senate: The other day we invited the Cabinet Secretary for Health. When she came to make a presentation on the leasing of equipment, she was non-committal. She thought that this House is a dog that cannot bite. We want to show them that we can bite by deleting and stopping the leasing of the medical equipment from counties. Therefore, it is important, as we carry out this exercise today, to remind ourselves that we are representing millions of Kenyans who depend on our decision today. Therefore, I urge Members to oppose this Bill as opposed to saying that we amend and ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join my brother, the Leader of Majority and the Nairobi Senator in emphasizing that this is a serious matter which needs our attention. What we should start interrogating first, even before we start looking at the legal framework, is the capacity of the governors that we have.
