• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: We such people in this country who should be known that they do not have the interest of the people in counties at heart. They even oppose a simple proposal like giving social support to people who are vulnerable or those who do not have good earnings. We know the levels of poverty. I do not know where people live. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: We want to give people a stipend of Kshs6,000 to support those who are elderly and also poor because we know the statistics of poverty in this country. However, you will find someone saying that they do not want money to be given to the poor, asking where the money will come from. Money is being stolen, day in, day out. Once we seal corruption loopholes, there will be enough money for the people in the counties. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: I like the choice that we are facing in 2022. It is very simple. I usually go to my county and tell people that one of them wants to donate wheelbarrows while the other knows that they are suffering because they do not have enough income and promises to give them Kshs6,000. If I ask them what they will take, they tell me Kshs6,000 because a wheelbarrow is only Kshs250. If they get Kshs6,000, they will buy many wheelbarrows. The choice is very clear. I want our people to know. This is simple mathematics that even somebody in nursery school ... view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: I heard people say in Nyamira that anybody who is telling people about wheelbarrows does not want to be a president in this country. How can you be a president to give people wheelbarrows? If you are a serious president, you should look at the money available to you as the president and show Kenyans that you care for the poor of this country, because we know them since we represent them. If you promise to give them Kshs6,000, then you are a serious person. That is a serious presidential candidate. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I urge us to pass this Bill by Sen. (Eng.) Maina. When we go to elections, let everybody be identified with their popular names. I want to see “Baba” on the ballot paper and I am sure we will win. view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I begin by congratulating Sen. Nyamunga, for coming up with this very good proposal on this Bill, which she has named The County Resource Development Bill (Senate Bills No. 45 of 2021). It is good to have Senators in the House who have gone to school properly. That is why I have issues with proposals that advocate for qualifications of Members of Parliament (MPs) to secondary school and not degree. Looking at this Bill, I have no doubt that the main intention is to advance the lives and wellbeing of the people we represent. I ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: I want to appeal to our governors to know that when we put devolution in our 2010 Constitution, the main intention was to transform the lives of the people we represent economically and socially. If we do not change the lives of people that live in the counties, then the dream of our 2010 Constitution will die in the face of Kenyans. We are charting a way forward that will help us form some economic bases and powerhouses in the counties that will come together. In 1933, in the United States of America (USA) when President Franklin Roosevelt took over ... view
