• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: does just passing an amendment to include a popular name on the ballot paper cause any confusion? I think it is something that should be welcomed. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: You cannot say that people have sinister motives that there are people want to rig the elections because that is not the case. When you hear people start talking about rigging elections, it is because they fear that probably they are going to lose. That is why every day they wake up and start talking about rigging because they are already sensing defeat. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: How do you tell the country that by the Senator for Nyeri bringing an amendment to allow people to have their popular names on the ballot paper is causing confusion that may be tantamount to rigging? That is far from it. In fact, that might help our older people who may pick a ballot paper and just look for a person’s popular name. It makes it easier. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: This idea of singing to us every day that there will be rigging should stop. The best message to put across is to tell Kenyans that these elections will be a hot contest and if I lose I will accept defeat. That is what it means to be an honourable leader, but not telling people about rigging every day. That is not what we want Kenyans to hear. We want people to assure the country that this is a close contest. If they lose, they will accept defeat because we know who has the best interest of Kenya. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in my county, I am still bitter up to today for a presidential candidate who opposed the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) because we were going to get an extra constituency in one of our largest constituencies. That is Kitutu Masaba which has more than 225 public schools. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: By passing the BBI, we were going to divide that constituency into two. Now our children will not get bursaries because there is no enough money for bursaries. They were going to be the immediate beneficiaries. When you tell us that you care about bottom-up and you do not care about the people who live there, you are a conman. Our people must know who cares for them. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: If you live in Nyamira and are asked to choose between a presidential candidate who supported that you get more money through National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) by dividing Kitutu Masaba Constituency into two--- However, immediately you are given Kshs135 million for building police station, schools and bursaries for children then you tell people that you do not want that to happen, how do you care about those people, or tell us that you are promoting something you call bottom-up economy when you do not want the people in the grassroots to benefit? view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we were going to increase revenue to counties to 35 per cent. My county was going to benefit because we were going to get more money. When we get more money, we will ensure that medicine is available to our people. We will build more hospitals because that is what devolution is meant to do. We are going to have provision for water. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Then you come here and tell us that the BBI is about positions. Even a Grade One child will ask what is about positions in increasing revenue to counties. What is about positions when we are saying we want to give you more resources by adding more constituencies? view
