• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in 2015, over 140 students lost their lives at the Moi University, Garissa Campus. Are our universities right now prepared to repulse such an eventuality? If it happened once, it can happen again. Who is taking care of awareness and preparedness for terror or any other insecurity in our institutions of higher learning? view

• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to support the Senator for Isiolo County and congratulate her for this Petition. How can 40,000 people be displaced through a Government action? That is violation of people‘s right. The trust land that was taken is in Isiolo County yet the consultations happened in Meru County which does not make sense.

• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Isiolo County in this matter? If the Government is interested in that land, the people of Ngare Mara and Ngambela should be compensated. With all the military camps that the Senator for Isiolo County has talked about, Isiolo County is still very insecure. What is the role of the military camps if the military officers cannot protect the interest of the people of that County? Last year, one of my relatives lost 24 camels that were on transit to Nairobi. He wanted to sell them but they were stolen and the driver of the lorry ferrying the camels was killed. ... view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to support the Speech made by the President during the State of the Nation Address.

• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: What I would like to say, as I always do, is that the amount that is given to the counties should be based on a percentage of the budget, and not on audited accounts. This is because we are still behind in terms of audited accounts. Our sister House has not been fast enough in passing audited accounts so that the amount that is transferred to the counties is increased. As I speak, the amount of Kshs1.7 trillion has been transferred to the counties so far is only 12.8 per cent of the Kshs13.24 trillion, which is the cumulative total ... view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the Presidential Address, in terms of unlocking the latent potential resident in this sector, he said that his administration will work towards addressing the challenges of access to credit, training and skills development. In this regard, there will be an SME Credit Guarantee Scheme (CGS). He added that in a few weeks, his administration will ensure deepening access to credit without subjection to complex application procedures and collateral requirements. As we are aware, SMEs employ almost 85 per cent of the Kenyan workforce. This is about 14.9 million Kenyans. It also contributes to almost 28 ... view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: an airstrip where almost everybody died. Few people escaped, but majority lost their lives there. If Kshs10 billion was set for that purpose, I urge the President to ensure that compensation to these people is fast-tracked. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, sometimes we talk about resources being allocated according to population. That is the greatest factor in the allocation of money to counties. In our region, because of historical injustices in the name of shiftas, terror and so on, we have faced a lot of injustice. That also reduced our population. The fact that there are no investments in those counties ... view
