• 24 Feb 2022 in Senate: countries a breather to cope with the debt servicing. That way, we will see our friends as people who care about us and want justice across all countries. Why am I speaking about this vis-à-vis social justice? When revenues dwindle, the money targeted for social justice is also less. Therefore, the Government will have less disposable money to ensure that the vulnerable who need to be looked after in terms of social protection are taken care of. However, it will not be possible because the revenue is not the same. In case of any shocks to an economy, people who ... view
• 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Although Sen. (Dr.) Machage was not known to me, for someone to come from a minority clan, get education and achieve the much as he did, he must have been a very hard working and great leader. It is a loss to the minority of this country. His contribution made sure that the rights of the minority are enshrined in the Constitution. I pass my heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Sen. (Dr.) Machage. May he rest in peace. view

• 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As I said before, people are very interesting in this country. Some of the Members who removed the ceiling are on top of their chairs saying that this debt is unmanageable. Did they not know that when they were passing the Bill to remove the debt ceiling? Some of them were in leadership at that time. Let us spare Kenyans hypocrisy and saying this and that thing--- view
• 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the question of debt is interesting. A country goes to debt to do development projects, which are clearly visible. The other issue is that Kenyans are very interesting people. People do not want to pay taxes but they want roads, hospitals and all other developments that we talk about. At the same time, they tell you not to take debts but they want greater developments. view

• 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: People need to understand that at the end of the day, you need money to do development. If we do not want to borrow, can Kenyans be tasked to pay more taxes? Can we have those in tax brackets voluntarily increase their taxes? If we do that, then borrowing will be a thing of the past. Some of our colleagues who talk about the increasing debt do not even have a strategy to stop corruption. We know that there is some level of corruption. If Kenyans paid tax and there was no corruption, there would be enough money to do ... view
• 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I thought Sen. Cherargei was going to articulate the strategies that they have to combat corruption when he stood up. I did not expect this. My President was very clear in saying that there is corruption in this country. There is also a strategy to fight it because there are many people who are being taken to court. view
• 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was speaking about whichever party Sen. Cherargei subscribes to not the Jubilee party. This is because the head of Jubilee party was very categorical that there is corruption in this country and that they are doing something about it. The party that we support has a very clear strategy in terms of how corruption should be combatted. In terms of the pending bills and counties not being paid, the National Treasury needs to release funds to the county governments. We have drought right now in my view
