• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to support the Report that has been tabled by the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. I want to thank our Chairman, Captain Senator-Governor Ali Roba, who has distinguished himself as a very diligent Senator on issues of finance. The performance of Sen. Ali Roba gives credit to those of us who support governors who want to transition from being heads of County Executive and come to assist us in oversight and legislation. We gain a lot from the experience that they have from counties where they were executive heads. I have also seen ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: Senator for two terms and the people of Tana River County, where Sen. Mungatana, MGH comes from, want him to take the experience he has gained as a legislator to the governorship, why not? Why should we stop Sen. Mungatana, MGH, from transitioning to be the Governor of Tana River County? The same applies to me. If the time comes and the people of Nyamira County tell me they want me to transition from Senator to Governor, we should not stop anybody. Let the people decide. Madam Temporary Speaker, let me come back to the Report. It is unfortunate that ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: county headquarters. This means that the current Governor is not giving that project priority because the previous Governor, the late John Nyagarama, initiated it. At times, this leaves room for speculation. I have no evidence at all, but when you put your ears on the ground, people will tell you the commission was given to the other administration, so I need to commence my own projects, so that I get something. Already, we are breaking ground for an industrial park. We, as a county, want to pump Kshs250 million to the industrial park, while our county headquarters remains unfinished for ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: generations will remember that Senator So-and-so is the one who left behind this beautiful county headquarters. We remember the late President Mwai Kibaki for the Thika Super Highway. We will remember President Uhuru Kenyatta for the Express Way. Maybe President William Ruto will also do something that we will remember him for. You, as a governor, what do you want to be remembered for? My Governor in Nyamira County, what do you want to be remembered for? That Gen Zs came to demonstrate against you? No. You should be remembered that you took over; four years into your administration, you ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: Those governors who are engaging in taking kickbacks; who do not want to complete projects started by their predecessors, for instance, projects started by Captain, Sen. Ali Roba, it is a shame. The Gen Zs have shown us that they can knock on our doors. They have demonstrated that they want to set the bar very high for governors. These people want results. They want results and so, the governors should style up; stop putting kickbacks as a priority, complete projects for our people, so that we can transform this country. With those remark, Madam Temporary Speaker, I support. view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to make my contribution to this Bill. I was mentioned adversely by Sen. Cheruiyot. He touched on my family, and he may create an impression that other than my dear wife, Jacqueline, I have another family. view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: I want to declare that I am a loving husband to one wife, Jacqueline. Sen. Cheruiyot, I have no other wife. I wish Sen. Veronica Maina was here to listen to me. This Bill was before the Standing Committee on Justice Legal Affairs and Human Rights (JLAHR) in the last Parliament, where I was the Chairman before I was succeeded by my The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: good friend, Sen. Wakili Sigei. The provisions that are here were almost lifted from what was in that law and were very interesting. We conducted public participation and we thought some of these provisions would get the support of the women. This was during COVID-19. We put stakeholders together to collect views from the public. You will be surprised that even on an issue like a definition of who a child is, it was very heated. We had the National Gender and Equality Commission (NGEC) and FIDA-Kenya in the meeting. We had many women organisations. However, it is not easy ... view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the views we received, the woodpecker is the woman who will be coming looking for Sen. Cheruiyot to be the father of her children.
