• 27 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are a number of ways of dancing. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to put a rider. When the Chair brings the Statement, it should include the case of the three teenagers who were killed in Ahero in Kisumu County. Have the officers who killed the innocent peaceful demonstrators been arrested? Is there any compensation to the families that lost the three teenagers who will be buried on Friday? Lastly, will there be an end to this police brutality and use of live bullets anytime there are peaceful demonstrations, especially in NASA areas? view
• 14 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really want to thank the petitioner because as a Kenyan he wanted to know this terminology that is used commonly. Since the word ‘harambee’ is mostly used when collecting money, he wanted to know whether it is appropriate to use it in our coat of arms. I might not be as good or fluent in Kiswahili, but ‘harambee’ is a word that united this country. When I was young, I used to hear the founding father of the nation, Jomo Kenyatta, pronouncing the word ‘harambee’ with a lot of vigour wherever he went. It has a ... view
• 13 Feb 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With due respect to the Senate Majority Leader, could he tell this House who the ”characters” are? Is that language that can bring harmony to this House? The language he is using is derogative. Could he kindly apologize, if he really wants us to treat this House as the ‘Upper House,’ where people can reason together? The direction he is heading to, he is calling hell to fall on us. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my heart is really heavy on this matter. I want to tell the Senate Leader of Majority that I do not want to take this Statement casually because we have lost lives especially in Kisumu County where your report only mentioned a few guys who were killed including baby Pendo. There are more people who were brutally killed by the police and baby Pendo was not even shot but she was clobbered. The police climbed up the stairs and found a small innocent baby and clobbered her to death. We are all Kenyans, however, today I might ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to concur with the Senator for Narok County that we should not dismiss this petitioner. When I was studying in California, there were certain farmers that were allowed to grow this plant for medicinal purposes. What I learnt from there is that they had also been given an opportunity to use it, especially those who are suffering from cancer. I did not have time to research on it but they believed that if you use this plant, then the pain is reduced especially for cancer patients. I am not aware whether we have done ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have heard how the Majority side is trying to derail this important matter. When the matter is raised that our counties are lacking funds in order to bring development to this nation, they come up with points of order. Is the Senate Majority Leader in order to come before this House with no answers because the National Treasury has already received the money that was approved by us yet because of this impunity, they are not ready to support the county governments? That is why we may need a change of ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Kisumu County for giving me an opportunity to be their Senator. However, even as I do so, I have a heavy burden. I feel view
• 31 Aug 2017 in Senate: Mr. Clerk, I want to follow up on what we discussed yesterday on the definition of the threshold required to elect the Speaker of the Senate. As from yesterday, you were not very clear. view
