• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have always known Sen. Linturi as somebody who listens keenly. I began by saying: “If the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) was to pass”. When I have used the word “if” it means the position will only change if the BBI Report passes. Thank you. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Deputy Speaker. We have been students before. I do not remember during my school days having seen the kind of indiscipline and destruction of property as it is happening now. To be very honest, it is something that should worry all of us who are parents. Certainly, anybody sitting in Government as a Cabinet Secretary for Education should be worried. Madam Deputy Speaker, we were students at the University of Nairobi. I have colleagues who were with me, including Sen. Pareno. Anytime we wanted to demonstrate against either the administration or the Government of the ... view

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Finally, we really must have mentors, people who must go back to our schools and speak to these children. If they are charged with a criminal offence at age 16, they will have literally messed up their future. If they want to seek admission to some universities out of the country, they will never be cleared. We need to ask whether the Ministry of Education has put in place enough mechanisms for mentorship programmes back in our schools. Madam Deputy Speaker, I know my time is up, but I hope the Committee will address this matter will take this matter ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join you and my colleagues in welcoming Senators back from the long recess. We must thank God that we are back alive because of the effects and loss of lives that has been caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. I also want to take this opportunity to pass my message of condolences to the family of Mzee Nyachae. I say pole to the widow, mother Mwangwo, Grace, Charles and the entire family for the loss of their dear father, Mzee Nyachae. I hope that we will get an opportunity to pay tribute to ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Sen. Orengo who joined us all the way from Dubai. Technology has brought so many benefits. There is another cadre of people that we keep on forgetting; our members of staff from the legal department who do a lot of work behind the scenes. This team prepares submissions and burns the midnight oil to ensure that the papers that are needed to be filed in court are filed timeously. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a proposal has been made that some of us should be considered to get some state commendations titles. I hope that the Parliamentary Service Commission through our two ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Those who are leading the ‘hustler nation’ should take that narrative seriously. When you go to forums, accept it that there are people who will be drumming up support for other presidential candidates. I hope when they come for Mzee Nyachae’s burial, they will talk to the Omugusii nation humbly. We do not want fights in Kisii. We will give them an opportunity to sell their ideas. If they have candidates to market, we should give them an opportunity to share those views with the people without inviting fights. That was very shameful. Kisiis are tolerant people and we do ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Finally, I hope that the SBC will track some of the important issues raised before this House of which we have no answers. The issue of coffee farming, Sen. Wetangula in a passionate appeal on the Floor of this House raised the unfairness in disbursement of the coffee fund. There was a promise made by the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries that the Western Kenya region, including my own County of Nyamira, will get consideration during this financial year on disbursement of that coffee fund. I want to tell the incoming Members of the SBC that ... view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I would like to begin by mourning with the people of Nyamira County for the loss of our Governor, the late Mzee John Obiero Nyangarama, who has had a very successful career in the tea industry. My condolences to the widow of our late Governor, family and the entire Nyamira County. If I was to speak candidly without blinking an eye, the people I represent in this House, the people of Nyamira County want legislation that will regulate the tea industry to be enacted as soon as yesterday. I ... view
