• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my view, the Committee has failed the objectivity test. He mentioned very well that counties started their projects before the Senate made that resolution. That resolution should not be binding to the counties, because these contracts were signed before the passage of that resolution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they have cleverly ran away from that responsibility of trying to advise on what should happen by stating that it is out of their mandate. view
• 28 Apr 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason I speak passionately about this issue is because I understand Meru very well. I may not agree with the administration. However, since I know what is happening there, the level at which the building is, the contractor having intimated of going to court and written to me, I would further advise that we bring in the Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) and the Controller of Budget. We have to seek a solution because if we run away from this issue, we are inviting serious legal issues that will end up letting counties incur a ... view
• 31 Mar 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to weigh into what Sen. Cheruiyot has raised. view
• 31 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to add on to what Sen. Cheruiyot has brought to this House. This House has representatives of the people of this country. This is the House that can bring up issues that are pertinent to the people that we represent; the issues that affect them on a daily basis. We have been out there for the last two weeks and we know one or two things that are not right. I am left wondering when I hear that the police officers have gone to the private homes of individuals who travelled out of the country ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to join my colleagues in eulogizing our late President Moi. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Much has been said about what the late hon. Moi stood for and did. He did good things for this country in terms of education, health and environment, without forgetting the aspect of devolution. Those who care to read our history will remember that we used to have the District Focus for Rural Development Strategy. It was to ensure that our districts were equitably developed alongside the rest of the country. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: My history and interaction with the late hon. Moi dates back to 2002. This is when we were busy as young people trying to join the political arena. Most people did not know that hon. Moi had decided that he would pick President Uhuru Kenyatta as a candidate to succeed him. I was an active young man during that time. When we did the Kenya African National Union (KANU) nominations, I had beaten the former Minister for Internal Security who used to be my Member of Parliament (MP). I think there were two or three Ministers in his Government who--- ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he called the late Hon. Biwott and Mheshimiwa Uhuru Kenyatta because they were part of the signatories of the KANU tickets. The late President Moi directed that I be given a KANU ticket and 11 other certificates so that my people could vie as councillors. At that time, we used to have councillors and not Members of County Assemblies (MCAs). On top of that, since I had gone dry on finances, he gave me Kshs1 million. I am what I am because of the support and mentorship of our late President Moi. I have lost a personal ... view
