• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to also add my voice in paying my tributes to a great man. It has been said and I add my voice that indeed the late president Emilio Stanley Mwai Kibaki had a checkered political career. I think he is going down in history as the longest serving Member of Parliament having served for over 50 years. I am being reminded by my leader here, Sen. Wetangula that he is probably the longest serving Member of Parliament in the Common Wealth. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: He served this country over 50 years, as a member of Parliament in Donholm and Othaya contituencies having served--- view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will take the information. view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know whether to take that because my colleague is not very sure. He is saying perhaps he is second to Sir. Winston Churchill. Unless we get the facts right, I will stick to eulogizing my fallen president as the longest serving Member of Parliament in the Commonwealth. It would be remembered that the late President Mwai Kibaki successfully served as the fourth Vice President of the Republic of Kenya. He had a successful career in the Cabinet in several dockets including finance, home affairs and health, just to mention but a few. He was ... view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: has been applauded across the world as the most progressive Constitution for this side of the world. Under the Constitution, 2010, we in this Senate are creatures of that Constitution. In the Judiciary, we have the Supreme Court and in the Executive, we created the Office of the Deputy President. Those are the highlights of the Constitution 2010, not forgetting devolution, the Bill of Rights and all the good things that are to be found in our supreme law. The late President Mwai Kibaki played a lead role to ensure that Kenyans gave themselves this wonderful Constitution. The development record ... view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: There is a sector that must forever be grateful to the late President Emilio Stanley Mwai Kibaki. That is the boda boda sector. It was during the time of the leadership of the late President Mwai Kibaki that the sector started to grow in this country. Today, it is probably the only sector that is growing. Since the late President Mwai Kibaki planted the seed, I would ask the current and future governments to do what is right for the young people in the boda boda sector. Madam Deputy Speaker, this is a sector that has grown to a level ... view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I can hear Sen. Wetangula saying “We shall do it.” I do not know what he means by “we”, but I guess he can explain that better. Lastly is the issue of debt. This has been said by almost every speaker. By the time President Mwai Kibaki was leaving Office, the economy was doing extremely well. The price of basic commodities was fairly affordable. Cement was between Kshs450 to 500. I was in Turkana County the other day and they are buying a bag of cement at Kshs1,200. view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, by the time President Mwai Kibaki was leaving Office, wheat and maize flour were affordable at Kshs60 at most. Today, they retail at Kshs150. The cost of fuel, if and when it is available, has become completely unaffordable. Most times it is not readily available. view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, how much time do I have? view
• 26 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. By the time President Mwai Kibaki was leaving Office, our debt was around Kshs1.2 trillion. Today, in less than 10 years, we are at over Kshs10 trillion. It is incumbent upon this and future governments to cushion Kenyans against the high cost of living. On the fight against corruption, President Mwai Kibaki walked the talk. I mention this respectfully. Some people brought allegations against my colleague, the Senator for Bungoma County. That Sen. Wetangula had been involved in the sale of an Embassy in Japan. The President asked him to step aside for investigations to ... view
