• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am in a very awkward position where I want to have a contrary view on my Chairperson, Sen. (Dr.) Lang’at. Having listened to him, it is evident that the Cabinet Secretary for Education has not responded adequately to the issues of concern that were raised by Sen. Kwamboka. Sen. Kwamboka rose on a point of order expressing her dismay that the response was not shared with her in advance as is the tradition of this House. Listening to my Chair, I think there is a lot that the Cabinet Secretary for Education needs to ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: The point of order I am making is that the Chair of the Senate Committee on Education, my neighbor and very good friend, should not handle this Cabinet Secretary with gloves.

We enjoy a democratic mandate ... view

• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First, I want to join my colleagues in thanking the Chair of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, Sen. Cherargei, for raising this very important question on agriculture. We are aware that there is this slogan that says that agriculture is the backbone of our economy. I think that the statistics indicate that about 35 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is actually agriculture. Agriculture plays a very key role in sustaining our economy and that cannot be gainsaid. I think that the policies of our good Government should not ... view
