• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Senate of the Republic of Kenya is poor. No, that is not the case. We normally have a full House. Furthermore, we introduced virtual attendance after COVID-19 pandemic.

• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Bw. Spika wa Muda, ningependa uniruhusu kujumuika na wewe kukaribisha wageni wetu kutoka bunge za kaunti mbalimbali, ikiwemo Bunge la Kaunti ya Vihiga. Vihiga ni Kaunti ambayo ninawakilisha katika Seneti hii.

• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Vihiga County why this project was not given the 100 per cent effort it deserved. We need answers on the details of the contractors and the county government officials who were responsible for this programme. This is a very important and simple project and so for it to be done in such a shoddy manner, is quite unfair and disheartening, especially because Kshs200 million was released for its smooth implementation to completion. These are the kinds of cases that give devolution a bad image among citizens. It is quite saddening that the Governor of Vihiga County and the County Executive ... view
