• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: Nyamira who went to the United States of America (USA). She has worked so hard, campaigned and got the honour of being elected to be a Member of the State Assembly of the State of Minnesota. I hope that this broad-based Government will now build for us Suneka airport. If not, the people of Nyamira are ready and willing to donate land to the national Government to build an airport for us. This lady will rise to become a Senator and maybe the first female President of the USA, just like Obama did from our neighbouring County of Siaya. Hon. ... view
• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: If this Bill passes, there will be that separation of powers and financial independence of county assembly so that they can properly oversight the office of the governor. The other day, our farmers in Nyamira and our neighbouring counties of Kericho were paid. Sen. Cheruiyot knows this. I know in Meru, you got a good bonus. I am also a farmer. I was paid Kshs20 per kilogramme. Where do you get money to pay the person who has been tilling your land for the whole year? You also need to pay for fertilizer and school fees from that money. From ... view
• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: performance of Hon. Hulda Momanyi in the USA, Minnesota, the county of Nyamira should also be considered for a position of Cabinet Secretary. As I speak now, imagine I do not have a Principal Secretary or a Cabinet Secretary from the County of Nyamira. Let us appreciate that the people of Nyamira have demonstrated that they have talent to serve not just in Kenya, but they can even serve in America. We are appealing to the President not to forget the people of Nyamira. We have even produced renowned runners from the County of Nyamira. So, we are pleading with ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish Sen. Cherarkey had consulted seniors in the House before he came up with his proposed Bill on the extension of the term limit. My advice is that till we vote on that Bill, keep House. There are some areas we should not visit. I first want to pass my congratulations to Sen. Asige for this Bill that has been sponsored by her, which addresses some of the concerns in Article 177 of our Constitution. Let me be on record by saying that it has been a joy to serve in this House ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Every time Sen. Asige makes contributions on this Floor, I normally revisit the videos just to listen to her wisdom. You are such a blessing to this House. I have no doubt that Sen. Asige has inspired many within the disability sector. She has been brilliant. She has performed so well that we should even remove the word disability.

• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: You out-perform even those who do not have disabilities. So it has been really a joy. We encourage you, Sen. Asige, to continue doing the good work you do, both in contribution and on the Bills that you bring to the floor of the House. I hope the people of Mombasa will think seriously. If you ever offered yourself to seek an elective seat, they should consider electing you almost unopposed. She has done so well. When you go upcountry, there are many people who stop you and they say, “by the way, when you go back to Nairobi, pass ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: guy to break the ceiling in the Senate by becoming the majority leader without being a ranking member of the Senate. So we can have youthful leaders who can make very good contributions to the country. So it is good to note that if this Bill is passed, and I hope it will, we will have two candidates reserved for the youth. That is commendable. So that we know that each county assembly will have a minimum of two youths--- Others can also vote and win. Then, of course, marginalised groups. Every county has marginalised groups. Even in Nyamira, I ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, today, it would be Mwangi or Aoko, but if we allow it to become a culture, you will be the next one and I will also be the next one.

• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: the National Assembly, the misuse of police power cannot be meted on us. It can be. The Swahili people say “u kiona cha mwenzako chanyolewa, chako kitie maji. ” We will be the next victims. We must call out the police and tell them to stop bringing this country to shame. If we continue this way, you will find us being discussed adversely in international forums. We are a country that has passed a very progressive Constitution. Madam Temporary Speaker, you midwifed the implementation of this Constitution. We must remind the police that this Constitution, which has a very progressive ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: difficulties to your own party like what I have seen in Nyamira, where a nominated MCA of ODM, does not identify with elected and other nominated Members of ODM party. That is making our politics to be very untidy. All over the world, political parties have aspects of discipline. Members of political parties must be disciplined. I support this Bill. At the right time, I also hope that I will ride on it to introduce some amendments. As we pick Members to various commissions, I hope we can have the face of Kenya in those commissions and stop this idea ... view
