• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, this is the most absurd and unfortunate answer that this House has been treated to.

Amongst the measures the Chairman has given that the Government is taking, is that the County government has promised to set up a police post in the college. We all ... view
• 20 May 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, listening to the Petition from the honourable Members of Kiambu County Assembly and looking at the trend that the Governors have taken in spending the monies that we sent to them, it is becoming apparent that devolution may not benefit Kenyans as it was envisaged in the Constitution.

Senator has sought that do not fall under my Committee. There are issues of garbage disposal and collection and health that fall under different Committees. I do not know what you will direct in this particular case because most of the issues actually do not fall under my Committee. view
