• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for her appointment. It shows that she is among the top crème de la crème of this country. There is no doubt about that. She has not only achieved what other people have not, but also managed to be the pioneer woman Senator to be elected by the great people of Uasin Gishu whom I thank for giving her the opportunity. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, due to her integrity, passion and hard work, I request the people of Uasin Gishu to elect her as ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. Since I do not have a lot of time, I thank the Committee for doing their work diligently.

• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the EACC needs to take these issues more seriously, because counties have become so fraudulent to a level where there are such glaring mistakes in the audit report.

The other issue is that I want to bring an amendment to ensure that the Chief Officer Finance is someone who is a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK). That way, they can be regulated, as professionals sitting in that Committee and ... view

• 21 Nov 2019 in Senate: First, we have to understand what the county assembly is doing. Once we identify the gaps and challenges that the Committee has, we speak to the executive. At the point when we are speaking to both, we handle issues and address them. When our Committee is handling issues from a Committee, the Chairperson of that Committee becomes part of our sitting when we sit with the executive. That way he, at least, knows his rights, because I am sorry to say this is one of the Committees that is least understood by most county assemblies. view
