• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: Lastly, I thank the Governor of Nairobi City County for stopping a cartel that used to receive bursary funds to a phantom school. Unfortunately, on that same count, he is being accused of not issuing bursary funds. This House is being called upon to make a decision based on facts and evidence adduced on the Floor of this House.

• 17 Dec 2020 in Senate: With those remarks, I oppose. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, kindly direct that the Senator for Kitui County be heard in silence. I rise to make my comments on the State of the Nation Address by the President that took place on Thursday, 12th November 2020 during the Joint Sitting of the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. I would like to begin by stating that the Speech by the President of Kenya is a rare mirror view of where we have come from and a call to action, going forward. Listening to the Speech by the President, it was refreshing for me to hear the ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: I have said many times that the Government has a duty and responsibility to take care of our farmers. In other jurisdictions across the globe, farmers are respected and supported. Three weeks ago, I had an opportunity to visit a private sugar company in Kisumu, Kibos Sugar Factory. What they are trying to do in the private facility is invest in converting by-products from the sugarcane into fertilizer; grown, processed, manufactured in this country. If such initiatives are supported, then we have an opportunity to make food production flourish to feed this nation and strengthen our economy. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: I want to make a comment on the BBI. Take note that the whole idea behind BBI is to unite our nation, which is a very noble initiative. Nevertheless, I have a small problem reconciling, while bold statements are being made by national leaders on the need to push for a no contested referendum, against a background of counter arguments by another section of national leaders who hold the view that you read, accept and pass the document as it is. I sincerely thank His Excellency the President and Hon. Raila Odinga for taking the lead in the BBI process. ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, every section of this country has what they want to see in the BBI. Where I come from, I was there with Sen. Halake, Sen. Were and Sen. Kinyua yesterday and the people of Kitui County as part of their views to the BBI, said that they want a second county in Mwingi. These views should be listened to, because if you go to our hospitals and you are suffering from a headache, it does not make a lot of sense for a doctor to tell you that there is very good medicine for a stomachache. ... view

• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: stomachache; you are suffering from a headache. Let us listen to views from Kenyans and build a consensus around those views. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary speaker, Sir, there is also another issue around the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), which is dangerous. The issue of profiling people on account of the views that they express on the BBI is a very dangerous thing to do. If it is true, and I have no reason to doubt that this is true, that the BBI is not about the 2022 presidential elections, then the people who support--- view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for your ruling. I continue my submission by saying that the BBI document and the content therein is not about any person in this country. It is about building bridges in this nation and uniting this nation. Therefore, there is no better way of doing it than listening to views from every section and corner of this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the matter of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID- 19), which the President mentioned in his Address, I thank the President for the efforts that his Government has taken to tame the spread ... view
