• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in view of what Sen. Murkomen is saying, and looking at the magnitude and impact of the amendments that we are discussing, and the fact that the leadership is not here to take notes, definitely, we are just speaking to ourselves. Even the Chairperson is not here to take notes. I would want to take the same direction that Sen. Murkomen is proposing, that we are not in a hurry to just pass the Bill for purposes of it and ticking the boxes. If it means we wait until we are able to properly ventilate on ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think we are getting emotional about this issue and for good reason. This issue of the Equalization Fund has been with the Senate in the last term and is with this Senate now. If there is a matter for which Senators must fully engage, it is on the Equalization Fund. For the last 11 years, counties have been waiting for it to be rolled out. When it is being rolled out, we must have the final word on who would sit on that Board to represent the interests of counties. I do not know ... view

• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would be the last person to disrupt my big brother, Sen. Mwangi. However, to the best of my recollection, Sen. Mwangi is the Chairperson of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources and he is seeking a Statement from the same Committee. How does that work? view
• 2 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to second the Adjournment Motion as moved by the Senate Majority Leader. As we take this long break and go out there, many of us will be involved in political campaigns. I wish that all of us, including myself, shall be agents of peace in this country. The stakes are very high. We are facing an election where a sitting President is not going to defend his position. In such a situation, the stakes are very high. However, we must always remember that there is a country to take care of after the ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to also bring my comments on the President’s Speech yesterday. However, just for purposes of clarity, so that I can organise my thoughts properly, how many minutes do I have? It is 15 minutes. Thank you. I will try to organise my thoughts, if you can protect me from the Senator of Mombasa County. He is trying to disrupt me. I will address myself to four issues. I will address myself to the issue of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), road infrastructure, the ‘Handshake’ and military involvement in civilian activities. I take this opportunity ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta is on record to have used the State of the Nation Address in Parliament to name and shame Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) and people in ‘big’ offices on allegations of corruption. I would have expected that the President would have found time and space in his Speech to name and shame the COVID-19 billionaires. These are people who have negatively innovated around the pandemic to enrich themselves at the expense of dying Kenyans. I would have expected that the very least the President would have done would have been to name and shame them. I would also have ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: I would have expected, while still on the COVID-19 issue, for the President to clarify our state of preparedness in addressing the new variant. I just arrived yesterday from an official trip to Israel. Immediately there was a single case of the new variant reported in Israel, the action that the Government took was very swift. It took the Prime Minister to address it and how people need to behave going forward. view
