• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No.47 (1), I rise to make a Statement on the locust invasion in parts of the country; in particular the Lower Eastern region of Kitui, Makueni and Machakos counties; the Upper Eastern region, including Embu County; and the North Eastern region, in particular Wajir and Garissa counties; and now I am told they have invaded Muhoroni in Nyanza region. Migratory locust swarms have been identified as a serious threat to agricultural communities since Biblical times. The Horn of Africa is facing a locust invasion on an unprecedented scale. Kenya is right ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in Senate: Late December last year, after an absence of more than 70 years, locust swarms returned to Kenya. The world watched scenes of residents of Wajir County and other parts of the North Eastern region desperately trying to chase them away with sticks and others banging metal sheets. The swarms have since moved and invaded wider areas and continue to cause significant crop, pasture and forest cover losses in the counties mentioned. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the desert locust is considered one of the most dangerous of the flying pests by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN). ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to join you and my colleagues in condoling with the family of the late President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi. On my own behalf, on behalf of my family and the people of Kitui County, I bring our condolences to the family of Mzee Moi. My encounter with the former President was at several levels and some of them were very personal. In 2000 when the late President Moi decided that he wanted Uhuru Kenyatta to succeed him as the President, many Kenyans did not know he had started a process of putting ... view

• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: difficult thing to be a Minister. He wanted them to uphold him in the word of God because he knew that they were pastors. I remember Mzee Moi as a very committed Christian, especially belonging to the African Inland Church (AIC) as myself. He built many churches in Kitui, Machakos and Makueni counties and indeed across the country. He appointed the first female Cabinet Minister from Kitui, Hon. Winifred Nyiva Mwendwa and supported her to deliver services in this country. I want to echo the words of my colleague, Sen. Khaniri, when we talk about inclusivity in Government. We have ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hear the comments by Sen. Haji. Unfortunately, there are those of us who are interested in understanding the meaning of view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: and we are already married. So, how will we get to know the meaning of this word? view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. This is a very unfortunate case. As a first term Senator, it is my first case of impeachment. Many of my colleagues have said that they fault the lawyers on the side of the governor for maybe misadvising him on the filing of evidence. I am not very sure we can make that determination of whether the lawyers failed or the governor did not take good advice. I say this because reference has been made – not once, not twice, but three times – on bundles ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say that in view of the failure by the Governor to file his evidence at the right time, this House is left with only one case; the charges as adduced by the Assembly. The decision that will be made by this House will be a decision based on the evidence adduced by the County Assembly of Kiambu. It is very unfortunate that the Governor, either by bad advice or by refusing to listen to good advice, did not have an opportunity to call a single witness to rebut a single charge against him. As ... view
