• 10 Jun 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the amendment Bill that is before the House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have had a law regulating alcohol since 2010, but it is unfortunate that people have continued to take illicit alcohol. As a result, there have been deaths and many people have gone blind. This alcohol has also had devastating effects on some men. Some of them are no longer productive in their families. Whenever you go to some police stations, you will be served by drunken police officers who are on duty. When you ... view
• 10 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it was very wrong to disrupt me while I was speaking. view
• 10 Jun 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the reason for engaging in consumption of alcohol by the youth is because of unemployment. We really do not need to continue crying about this issue because the young people have been encouraged to utilize the national funds that have been created for them. We really do not need to complain that unemployment is an issue that makes the youth to engage in alcohol consumption. We need to find a way of trying to solve it. The other reason is because of poverty. We really need to look into the other ways that can be used ... view
• 9 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Mediation Committee has done its part. It is very important for us to have a board that will be in charge of development. I rise to strongly oppose this Report by the Mediation Committee. Sen. Khalwale talked about part “m” and said that some people will be attending the Board meetings on invitation. That is not right. The reason for this is that the young people of this country are not an “AOB.” We are part of the systems and our issues in terms of development must be captured. We will not leave it ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Constitution is a document that embodies a social contract between the state and its citizens. It is through this Constitution that the citizens are actively involved in their own governance. That is why, on this note, I stand to support the Motion brought by Sen. Wako to ensure that through civic education, we are able to get to the grassroots so that people can be able to understand a number of things. Just as my colleague had said earlier on, it is true that in 2010, some people believed in their leaders; that if so-and-so ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I start by congratulating Sen. Fatuma Dullo for seeing the importance of discussing what Ms. Lupita has done in making Kenya proud. As we celebrate Ms. Lupita, the best actress in the Oscar awards, I want to remember the contribution made by the late Wangari Maathai and the late Samuel Wanjiru. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a motivation to many Kenyans, especially young Kenyans who have talent in different aspects like sports, cultural activities and drama among, other things. They should have the same opportunity ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I second the amendment by Sen. Boni Khalwale. view
• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to add my voice in this intricate and delicate matter about Embu County. As we carry out our primary role as Senators, it is important that we take into account that it is a matter of choosing between defending the counties and devolution. If we do not do this, then we will be killing it. I have read in the history books how devolution was killed by the first government we had in this country. It was because of incitement by some people to demonize Majimbo and eventually the Senate ... view

• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that the two Senators are not concentrating. What we are doing here is very important. I am talking about personal issues that people bring on board just to impeach a Governor. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion we are Senators and know about all these issues, especially those that arise in funerals. view
