• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. For most pastoralists counties, figures were based on pre-census figures. The pre-census figures were based on villages’ settlement. Not all those people who are looking after camels and cows--- I am sure whether you know that pastoralists move from one place to another. If the census was based on settlements, then there are so many Kenyans out there who were not counted. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Census is data that is used for planning. Therefore, to be honest, interfering with data for planning is the highest level of corruption that we can get in this country. There are some counties which are getting minus and others 50 per cent, and then on the normal demographics that comes in terms of statistics, on the number of children per household, it is said this county has an average of six and the other two. The one with an average of two then comes up with an increase of 49 per cent. How is that possible scientifically? It is ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is even a United Nations (UN) way of counting pastoralists, and I am sorry to say that the KNBS never used it. This is also linked to the formula that is coming, that is based on population. In this formula, 66 per cent of the formula is based on population. To make it worse, certain regions have been threatening that we will see them this time around, and it happened. Therefore, what kind of scientific data are we taking out there? If we are spoiling even the data for our own planning--- To be fair, ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am so proud to be associated with Strathmore Business School. I did my Certified Public Accountant (CPA) course Section IV and VI there and I am honoured to see them in the Speaker’s Gallery. There is a big gap when it comes to the understanding of financial issues. We need to fight corruption in this country and to do that one needs to understand the nitty- gritties. These upcoming accountants should not shy away from politics. Instead, they should join politics in order for them to make a difference. The existence of this ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I thank Sen. Outa for bringing this Statement. This week alone, after going missing for some time, a lady was killed together with her three children. There are also two ladies who have separately been murdered in spouse-related issues.

• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: From the killings that have been going on, it looks like life in this country has lost meaning. Morality is no more because someone should have some compassion to ensure that, at least, life is precious and, therefore, we should not kill people. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also wish that the Committee’s investigation should also extend to these three cases that happened this week. I also advise ladies out there who are listening; please get this. Sometimes the writing is on the wall, and we just refuse to see it. Please, move on. Do not allow these maniacs to ... view
