• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a Member. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I urge the Committee to move with speed because whatever is happening in Kisumu is what the Senate needs to protect the county assemblies from. Whatever is unfolding is unfortunate. Goons were hired to disrupt the proceedings of the House. The Speaker was arrested, yet the police station is a stone throw away, and they watched in vain. I thought it was unjust, and it is something that the Senate should look into. That is why I seek my Committee to move with speed and come up with a report in less than two weeks. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they should invite the regional police commandant because he is answerable and is in office to protect the county assembly. However, they have failed and were compromised. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would to take this opportunity to thank the people of Kitui and their leaders, led by our host Sen. Wambua for your hospitality. We have not been disappointed since we came here on Sunday. I want you to know that. I also rise to support this Bill, but with reservations. There is a lot of lamentation in this House. We, Senators, who are given the mandate to protect the counties have turned to be wimps when the county is looking at us to stand up and provide the funding for devolved government. However, ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, even as we are looking for more money to go to the counties today, we have seen the governors are mismanaging these funds. For example, in Kisumu when we talk about own source revenue, Kisumu is supposed to be collecting about Kshs1.9 billion. However, if you look at what the county is reporting today, it is only about Kshs600 million yet they are looking for us to give them more money. However, Kshs1.9 billion can pay some our county employees who have not received salaries for the last three months. If you go our hospitals--- view
• 17 Sep 2019 in Senate: Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Russia Hospital is now like a ghost hospital. view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in welcoming the students and staff from Marsabit County. I also welcome the delegation from the Fred Outa Foundation from the North Brook, Illinois, who are in the country to view some of the projects that the Foundation is engaged in.

• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: The visiting delegation is here to see some of the students that the foundation is sponsoring within the country. We have been running a school for the last 10 years in Kibera, Sarangombe Location. The school is known as Spurgeons Academy School. The school sponsors vulnerable students at no cost. We have a total of over 400 students from kindergarten to elementary level or Class Eight. view
• 10 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my humble privilege to welcome them to Kenya. Let them feel free and see what the foundation is engaged in. I thank the President, Fred Outa Foundation, as well as the board who reside in the USA for their persistence in making sure that the foundation gets the funding to enable us do our work here in Kenya. Hon. Senators, I challenge you to accompany us to the project anytime they are available. I wish that Sen. Sakaja was here so he can accompany us to visit our school in Kibera. I trust that our ... view
