• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I thank the Committee especially the Chairman for doing justice on behalf of the Senate. Our mandate was expanded and we were put in the rightful place. I advise the Committee that given that the elections are around the corner, we need enhancement of electoral laws and boundary disputes resolved before we go to the elections. We cannot afford another election violence this time round. We have to get it right. As you remember, the immediate former chief justice had ordered the Senate and National Assembly to be dissolved. I ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: I have now separated the two incase the lifestyle audit gets stuck, at least the other passes because it has general provisions that will help in recovery of assets because there is an opportunity to negotiate with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) so that if they agree, they settle quickly. This is because as the law stand right now, even if somebody is charged, it takes long on the corridors of justice and corrupt people can corrupt their way through. Things are never resolved even when there is clear evidence. On the one of amending the ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this matter. I wish to thank Sen. Khaniri who always brings Statements and Motions that are relevant and current in terms of information and how they impact our country. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: It is needless to say that COVID-19 has a greater impact in this country in terms of lives lost and economic losses during lockdowns. I agree with Sen. Wetangula that as we endeavour to popularize ourselves, let us be very careful with the lives of Kenyans.

• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Let us be a little bit more humane as we sell our manifestos and promise people how we will impact this country in the future. Let us not talk about the future because we are killing the present generation. How will we even reach that future? view

• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet claims that I am criticizing my President yet he is one of the people spreading COVID- 19. Leave alone the rally that was held in Kisumu but he is spreading it even here in Nairobi. So, he is a super spreader. Do not throw stones for nothing when you live in a glass house. view

• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Without naming anyone, everybody was in Kisumu including the leader of United Democratic Republic (UDA), so let us not go there. The other thing I want to say is that I lost my paternal uncle on 18th May, 2021, and it also pains me. He was the elder brother of my mum and the only living maternal uncle that I had. So, these things are home now in terms of the losses that we are facing. Madam Temporary Speaker, let us not belittle who is to blame for what. However, at your own level, please, be responsible enough to ensure ... view
