• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I would like to state that I had not finished my Statement. I did not want to mean that evictions are the order of the day. I wanted to add something else to qualify that. Members should not blame me for that. view
• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: I will do exactly what Sen. Kihika wants me to do. Unfortunately, we have not communicated to the Cabinet Secretary because we are here now. We are not sure that he will be having the answers tomorrow because he needs seven days to be informed, so that he can prepare himself to come with answers before this House. view
• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: On the Nandi issue, I want to answer him. We have a case together with the Senator for Nandi; we have not been able to move because--- view

• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: We have an issue in Kericho that two committees are supposed to deal with; the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights and the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. Whenever we had wanted to meet the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, it has never come and it was being headed by the Senator for Nandi. I would wish that the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights avails itself so that we can solve that problem. Thank you. view
• 14 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion by Sen. Dullo. We have done a lot of work as a committee to try to unearth all the evils associated with MES. However, even after doing all that work, we have not been able to write a report. We need time so that we write a report that will be credible; a report that will help this country eradicate corruption; a report that can be associated with this Senate. The COVID-19 has disrupted a lot of activities in this country. One of the activities is the work of the Committee. We could ... view

• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to rise on a point of order. First of all, everybody in this House is conversant and literate in Information Technology (IT). However, right form the beginning, you will remember me saying that WhatsApp cannot be used as an official line of communication. The Senate is relegating itself to some level in the society where we do not command honoured respect. You cannot say that the Order Paper should be put in a WhatsApp for everybody to read and you think that is a sufficient way. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, if it cannot be ... view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Petition. When a county says that they want to spend over Kshs500 million to purchase a building, one would ask if they have already fulfilled other priority obligations. You would be tempted to ask if the dispensaries in that county have proper technicians and drugs. I do not think so. The easiest way to syphon money is through buildings. That is why many counties are prioritizing construction of roads or buildings. Those constructions are actually becoming the conduit of failure of devolution. This Committee should go further and look at ... view
