• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to declare that I come from the Omogusii community. I am not directly affected, and so, I have no personal interest in this matter. However, it is really sad to hear that a public entity such as KARI wants to oppress poor people from Omogusii Community. view

• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we all know that Kisii County is one of the most densely populated regions in this country, where a land dispute can cost you your life. In Kisii County we do not joke with land. If you do, you can easily lose your life. Mr. Speaker, Sir--- view
• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that happens after you have had a five-course lunch. As I was saying, land is very sensitive. We welcome the Government institutions like Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) to undertake their business in Kisii County. We benefit a lot from them.

It is because it is really a lie when we share money to counties that everybody knows--- Even if you ask people who have not studied Economics, they will tell you that those are counties that are thriving. When you place Nandi County in the same shoes with Wajir County, we are living a lie. I supported this Equalisation Fund when it was benefitting the 14 initial ... view

• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: I mean even if you drive through Bomet County, you will realise that the best- grade cows are found in the County of Bomet. However, we are telling Kenyans that Bomet is one of those marginalised counties. That is not proper. view
• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a practice that has emerged in this House. Any time a speaker is on the Floor speaking, a Senator pops up like popcorn to raise a point of order, which is not within the Standing Order. view
• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you have followed the deliberation, what he is making is an argument. You cannot stand on a point of order and then make an argument. That is not a point of order. So, I beg that you allow me to continue because that is not a point of order. The point I am making is that as a Senator, representing the --- view
• 18 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you cannot box me into a corner. I am entitled to my opinion. I respect the CRA, but I have a right to differ with the formula that they applied. view
