I do not know whether Cleophas Malala, who was a Senator with us here and who pens plays that are sometimes controversial, but plays that capture the imagination of the nation, gets any earnings from writing those plays. Nonetheless, if you have a law like this that takes care of all these talented Kenyans, somebody will earn an income. I am sure it is not just Malala who can write plays. However, if people know ... view

Madam Temporary Speaker, however, if you followed this Wotek Self-Help group, you will find that this group does not exist because that receipt has got no date and it does not say that the payments came from the County Government of Nyamira. If you look at another one I have just picked, you will see another one called JUDKIP Enterprises. It says that these were paid some Kshs25,000 on 24th February, 2021, to act as MC in a function that took place ... view
  • 6 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sir. It is with deep feelings of sadness and grief that I also convey my message of condolences to the family of our departed colleague, Hon. Ong’ondo Were whom I personally knew and interacted with last time Azimio had a meeting in Oyugis. We all must join hands in condemning this senseless act of murder. We should never allow a situation where the only way people can respond to any grievance is by murdering a fellow citizen. This also calls for the Government to ensure that the security of all Kenyans - not just Members of ... view
  • 10 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.52 to seek further directions from the Office of the Speaker. On 1st April, 2025, I raised a Statement concerning the divisions within the County Assembly of Nyamira. After I brought that matter to the attention of the House, your office directed that the matter be dealt with on a priority basis by the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations.

  • 10 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Of course, you are right that the people of the great County of Nyamira are looking at their Senator and the 67 other Senators to find a solution that is within the confines of the law. I thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, who is seized of this matter, but I want to agree fully with Sen. Olekina. People cannot come to this House and tell us that there are cases filed in court and that we ran away from our responsibilities. If you remember the Solomonic decision by ... view

The court heard him and made a pronouncement. The court said, we will not give you conservatory orders, serve and come back. Why is my Chairman, Sen.
