• 17 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join you in welcoming the various delegations and particularly the delegation from Bungoma County. I also thank you profusely for the programme that you put in place to build capacity of our county assemblies. I remind them that they have an important role to play in ensuring that devolution works and benefits the people of Kenya. The role of oversight is important besides representation and legislation. I put emphasis on oversight. The reports that are getting to us in the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee from the counties are disheartening. The reports we ... view

• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not get clearly when he wants to deliver his Statement. Yes, he appreciates it is urgent, then he says at least not less than two weeks. When he says that he is not clear, we do not know when to expect the Statement. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I come from a tea growing county and, therefore, know the plight of the tea farmers quite well. I want to agree with Sen. Sang that the returns on tea have been diminishing. One of the reasons for this is because the Government does not have an elaborate plan on how we can process our own tea and add value before we export it. We export raw tea and that is why we get a raw deal. What elaborate plans does the Government have to ensure that we do not export raw but processed tea, that adds ... view

Unfortunately, I did not make it to attend the burial, my condolences to the family. I hope that God rests her soul in peace. It is unfortunate that this is coming just after we buried one Alex Madaga--- view
