• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need your protection from Sen. Shiyonga. She is calling me mung beans, ndengu --- My name is Sen. Wambua. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding payment of a one-off honorarium and monthly pension to former councilors under Kenya’s defunct local authorities.

• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: My first encounter with the late Sen. Haji was in civic education in schools when we used to learn about provincial administration and provincial commissioners.

• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: My colleagues have said that the tradition and the norm of naming roads in honour of departed leaders may not be good enough for the stature, person and character of the late Sen. Haji.

• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when the Cabinet Secretary (CS) came, Sen. Haji, being the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defense and Foreign Relations, decided that the media would not be allowed in. I rose on a point of order to challenge that decision. Mzee looked me in the eyes and said that his decision was final. After the session, I went to apologise to Sen. Haji. He told me that I did not have to apologise and that we just had to do that to protect the image of the Senate. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Colleagues have said here that Sen. Haji delegated duties to them. However, the most important thing he did is that he never delegated responsibility. The buck always stopped with him. For that, we respect him. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Lastly, in the footsteps of what Sen. Orengo has said, Sen. Haji stood for tolerance. He tolerated divergent views. I urge all of us that a different opinion on any matter is not necessarily always a bad opinion; it is just a different opinion. Let us tolerate and nurture differences in opinions to build a society--- view

I know the Statement must have gone through a process for it to be approved to be read on the Floor. However, listening to that Statement, it just raises procedural The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: issues and the day-to-day running of all the institutions that are required to be doing the things that the Senator is talking about. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what specifically it is that, that kind of a Statement is supposed to do. I have no problem with it, but I just want to understand. It raises eyebrows. Thank you. view
