• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ, because it is the power of God and salvation to those who believe.” The Apostle Paul, speaking to the church in Rome, in Romans Chapter 12:1 and 2 tells the church- “I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies, a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” He goes on to tell them not to conform to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of their minds, that they may prove that which is good and acceptable and ... view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: I can see the Senator for Uasin Gishu County and he says he has to go on record on this matter. I do not wish to take a lot of time on this matter, but to give my colleagues an opportunity to weigh in. I beg to move and request the Senator of Laikipia, Sen. Kinyua, to second. view
• 2 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, the time is not even on our side. We cannot be prisoners of our conscience. We cannot allow that. The Senator has just asked a question about the time the judgment was being made; a statement of fact. There was a leader who visited our country and the visit was connected to Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). She is asking whether there could be anything to do with that visit. Madam Temporary Speaker, we cannot gag Senators to the extent that they cannot seize facts and talk about them. Secondly, it is not in the space of ... view
• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I thank you. I wish I could refer Sen. Cherarkey to Standing Order No.105, but let that matter just rest there.

However, as Deputy Minority Leader, I also want to go on record to clarify that what the Senate Minority Leader did when he stood on a point of order, was to remind you that the Deputy Speaker, whom we all respect, ... view

• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: I am not a lawyer. I have never attended a law class. However, I have taken the liberty to study the Standing Orders. I cannot pretend or claim to understand these Standing Orders better than you do. My understanding of the Standing Orders of the Senate is that the Speaker of the Senate, on matters of political leadership, has no ruling to make whatsoever. That is my understanding and plain reading of the Standing Orders. Once either side of the Senate; either the Majority or the Minority, follow the procedure of changing the leadership, the only duty that the Speaker ... view

• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: What happened was that the Senator that was replaced took the microphone, called our side all manner of names and said: “If you want this thing, take it, I am not interested”. The following day, that Senator went and sat on the Majority side. What more evidence do we need that Sen. Dullo, the Senator for Isiolo County has lost the authority to whip this side? Whipping is not just a position given to a Member; it comes with responsibility. You have to marshal Members to take a vote. You have to marshal Members to make a decision. Tell me, ... view
