• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate what the Chairperson has said. I laud you for giving that general direction on response to questions. However, on behalf of the people of Kitui County, I plead with the Chairperson to give a specific direction on this matter. This coming Monday, 12th March, 2018, it is said that a new contractor will be taken to the ground. This is a different contractor from the one who was introduced to the people of Kitui County. There are pending issues; for example, the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes ... view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is a very sad day because, true, when the Senator for Kiambu was wrongly addressed as ‘the man from Kiambu’ he got agitated and rose on a point of order to reclaim the dignity of his office. However, the same Senator is okay with the rights of fellow elected leaders being violated and raising issues to the effect that we should confine ourselves to relevance. Yes, we want to be relevant.

• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to take this opportunity, on my behalf and on behalf of the people of Kitui County, to welcome the delegation from West Pokot. There is something that I usually say casually at the lounge; that the people of West Pokot at some point in the political history of this country, did the people of lower eastern proud. At some point, the National Chairman of Wiper democratic movement was none other than the Senator of West Pokot, hon. Sen. Samuel Poghisio. So, we thank you for that. Secondly, I have a personal relationship ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to ride on the Statement by Sen. (Rev.) Waqo. Cancer has been declared the number one killer disease in this country and that story has been told in almost every health forum. Could the Ministry indicate what percentage of the budget has been set aside for research, screening and treatment of cancer? view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to correct the Senate Deputy Majority Leader that the Senator that we have in the House is the Sen. (Prof.) Malachy Imana Ekal and not Ekai. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week the issue of the time that Committee chairpersons would take to respond to questions was brought to the Floor of this House. The Chair’s direction was that the time given should not be just arbitrary time. For instance, if the chairperson says three weeks or four weeks, that should suffice. I want to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the floor. I am surprised that I am so invincible. I stand in support of The Irrigation Bill, Senate Bill No. 5 of 2017. This Bill could not have come to the Floor of the House at a better time than this. Arising from rain failure in most parts of the country and especially the lower eastern region of Kenya, millions of Kenyans--- view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill could not have come to the floor of this House at a better time than this. Arising from massive rain failure in most parts of the country especially the lower eastern region of Kenya, millions of people are facing starvation. It would be good if this Bill, once debated and passed, would put in place proper policies that would deal with the most important issue in irrigation which is sustainability of the projects. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I talk about sustainability of irrigation projects because I come from Kitui County. In the year 2011, ... view
• 15 Feb 2018 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Speaker Sir. With due respect to the Senate Majority Leader, honestly, this matter lies with the Chairperson of Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. He asked for a time limit that all of us feel is too long. The fact that the governors sat at IBEC and did not raise the issue of finances does not make it any less important than it is. There are counties in this country, including mine, where people are starving. You cannot tell Kenyans to wait for another three weeks for finances to be availed or be told ... view
