• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to make my comments on this Petition. I hail Mr. Kimutai arap Chelule for bringing this Petition to the Senate and having confidence that the Senate will solve the issue. I brought a similar Petition as alluded to by Sen. Cheruiyot. This was in regards to the boundary dispute between Vihiga and Kisumu counties in Maseno. There is also another dispute in Kiboswa. I thought I was the only one having problems with Kisumu County. However, I see that they seem to have a problem with all their neighbours, to ... view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: I know that you are going to commit this Petition to a Committee of this House, but I am very sure that the Committee’s hands are tied. They have very limited options; they cannot resolve the matter. We will continue having these Petitions, and they will have no answers until such a time that we effect Article 188 of the Constitution. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: I heard Sen. Dullo say that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. attempted to bring a Bill. He did not attempt, he brought a Bill twice, and we passed it here. It is gathering dust in the House next door. view
• 24 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the solution to this problem is not even referring these matters to committees. We must just ensure that we effect the provisions of Article 188 of our Constitution, because this is not an isolated case. I am told that there are about 16 cases. Surprisingly, out of those 16 cases, five involve Kisumu. The solution is to ensure that you push the Bill that we passed in this House to effect Article 188. It must be passed by the other House, so that we form this commission and revolve these matters once and for all. Thank you, ... view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity. I join you and my colleagues who have spoken earlier in conveying my personal condolences and those of the people of Vihiga to the people of Matungu and the family of our departed colleague, hon. Justus Makokha Murunga. Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Justus Makokha Murunga was a Member of my party, ANC, and a personal friend. His passing away has robbed this House and the country of a dedicated leader. It is rumoured that our colleague died because of COVID-19. We want this to come out clearly. Initially, we feared because ... view

• 11 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sakaja presented the report under Standing Order No.232(2) which states clearly that the report shall be laid and no debate is permitted. However, the same Standing Orders gives you the powers to allow some observations and comments. I know it has not been the practice but I plead with you that on this particular one, you allow us 10 minutes to make observations. view
