• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to welcome our students. You should mention the prestigious Cardinal Otunga High School in Kisii County. On behalf my neighbour Sen. Onyonka who is not here, I extend a warm welcome to students from Cardinal Otunga High School. That is one of the schools that we are most proud of as a region. Most leaders from Gusii, including those from our neighbouring counties even the current Member of Parliament for Kilgoris, went to Cardinal Otunga. It is a school that has moulded many leaders not just from Kisii region but ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: I am going to convince Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale - which is a name that you have heard many times - and Sen. Cherarkey to come out there and shake the hands of these young boys and encourage them to be the future leaders. Madam Temporary Speaker, during the times of Father Anthony, this school used to produce serious athletes. I remember when we used to meet them in sports events, we used to fear their 4 by100 metres team. So, it is a school that has also made contribution in the field of sports. We are proud to have you, ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is one of the points of order that I fully agree with. I agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that I am completely out of order, not to have recognized the late Hon. George Moseti Anyona. He was a great leader from my County of Nyamira. He was a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Kitutu, a man that all of us, sons and daughters of Nyamira, are proud of. I want to go on record that if there was a man who was a pacesetter for students who went to Cardinal Otunga those days, then it ... view

• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am embarrassed on behalf of lawyers in this country that it takes a medical doctor to correct a lawyer on who is not a senior counsel. These are things that Sen. Cherarkey, whom I worked hard on to ensure he is admitted to the bar the other day and who is also my good friend, should know. He should know the list of senior counsels! I do not want him to mislead the whole country and more so lawyers. Madam Temporary Speaker, you are a lawyer. You know that to be conferred as a senior counsel, ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: going to make a recommendation that we bring back CLE for some cadre of lawyers serving in the Senate. Madam Temporary Speaker, I wanted to inform the Member here, so that he does not mislead the nation. view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support but with a rider that I hope the chair who has moved this Bill will agree that we enrich the contents with some ideas which will make it more useful to the people who reside in our counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, first, I want to agree with the sentiments of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale this afternoon. Article 204 on Equalization Fund was meant to bring to speed counties that have been lagging behind because of bad government policies. To be very fair, imagine Nandi County being compared with Nyamira or Kericho ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: brothers in the National Assembly. Sen. Cherarkey is not proposing that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale goes and sit in this Project Identification and Implementation Committee. He is not proposing that Senators should go and sit as members in that committee, but he is making a proposal, which I fully identify and agree with, that your office, as Senator of Kakamega, should get an opportunity to nominate people from your office who will sit in that committee that we should call PIIC. How does the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) operate? The people at the local constituency identify the Member of Parliament as ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Americans recognise that it is so rigorous to campaign in the entire State and so, they give them a tenure of six years. The area for the House of Representative is small, usually a constituency of 700,000. They serve for two years. Therefore, there is an injustice. I hope that we will get an opportunity during the tenure of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), to review the Constitution in a manner that is very objective – not in a partisan way but in a very impartial and non-partisan way – so that we correct some of these injustices. Senators in ... view
