• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: million and the salary of that officer was Kshs45,000. That is a distortion. There is no way you can be earning Kshs45,000, you have no returns to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) showing that you own rental incomes where you have earned that money from. You have just received kickbacks. Madam Temporary Speaker, that is why I agree with the proposals in this Bill that we should give powers to the EACC to go and get court orders to block such accounts. If you are not able to explain to the satisfaction of the court the source of your income, then ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if you go to counties, we passed procurement laws, where we said 30 per cent of business should be reserved for women and the youth, but it is a struggle. For them to enter the procurement system and do business, they are told to give bribes yet they have no money. We have even passed legislations where procurement should be open and each public entity should put names and directors of companies on their websites, but they do not. Even at constituency level, I have tried to register young people in boda boda and women groups and ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: now under lifestyle audit.” There should be confidentiality. Therefore, these provisions are good. What I do not like, maybe which we should consider going forward is trying to give the EACC the leeway of making searches in people's homes without obtaining search warrants from court. It is always good to know that when you give power to somebody, there is always a likelihood of those people abusing their powers. Madam Temporary Speaker, let us ensure that the only way you can go to do a search warrant in somebody's house is after you have approached the High Court. I like ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to inform my learned friend - because these proceedings are being watched live on television - that he has made a statement that IEBC should consider allowing Kenyans with waiting cards to register as voters. However, the law is clear that the only document you can present is either a valid passport or a national identity card. My learned colleague being a good friend of mine and a lawyer should not create the wrong impression that there is a lacuna in the law for waiting cards to be used. What we should be doing ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also want to go on record in full support of this very important Statement that has been sought by Sen. Dullo. It is very timely because this is the time that we want our youth who are the majority to be given an opportunity to have a say on, not only their representatives but also the Government that will make important decisions that will determine their future. view

• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: I do not know why the registration of persons is not as innovative as the IEBC in carrying out campaigns to attract more youthful Kenyans to register as voters. This is an issue that is of concern to the many of the people that we represent. Last Saturday, I was in a function in a ward in Nyamira and I met two very senior citizens who have served this country with distinction. One of them is a former MP for West Mugirango, hon. Kegoro who was an MP in the1970s. Another one was a retired chief called Chief Awaya. They ... view
