• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to give my comments and thoughts about the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. I begin by thanking Sen. Omogeni and his team for coming up with a report and giving us information, which is good. However, there are diverse and divergent views about the Bill. Overall, there are enormous gains that we cannot just wish away. We must speak to them so that people can know the good about the Bill. For example, some amendments of the Bill come out strongly to support the gender issue and close the ... view

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: This amendment is a gain for people living with disabilities because they have been shifted from the Senate and taken to the National Assembly where the number has been doubled to two women and two men. It will be mean for me to not acknowledge this gain for PwDs. Apart from that, it is a guaranteed position. I support this because we will have representation at the political level. Most of the times, PwDs have complained that when it comes to leadership and political representation they are under-represented. This is a chance for their representatives to be higher and their ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: It is also a plus for the President to tell the nation the improvements that are being made, for example, the number of hospitals that have been constructed and equipped. This will ensure that this cascades to the county governments. The county executives should be in a position to provide what they have done in their dockets with regard to the socio-economic needs and rights. There are rights that affect women and children. Women and children are among the poorest, nationally and internationally. The President needs a platform indicating what he wants to do with regard to addressing these issues. view

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: On this strength, it is a good point that Kenyans must know that when the President addresses these issues, many hospitals will come up, more funds will be channeled to fund health, education and provision of clean water. This is because this is a constitutional requirement. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, Clause 22 that seeks to amend Article 130 talks about the expanded Executive. As Kenyans, we must be alive to the fact that what has really been ailing us in most elections is the winner takes it all. After every election you will find that the winner takes it all and the number two has no space at all politically. The third and fourth are also stranded. The expanded Executive gives an opportunity for the face of Kenya to be seen in the political arena. In the expanded Executive, we will have the President at the top, ... view

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: issues that are in Article 43 of the Constitution such as water, education and infrastructure. This will be a plus because families will gain. Madam Deputy Speaker, we are mandated to represent the people of this country. We can only represent them effectively when services reach wananchi. If services cannot reach wananchi, we are losing our point of being in this House. Madam Deputy Speaker, there is also the issue of the Equalization Fund. I am happy because the time has been increased from 20 years to 30 years. This will ensure that we live in a nation that is ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I join you and fellow Senators in congratulating Sen. Abdulkadir Haji and welcoming him to this House. Kenyans and the people of Garissa must know that Sen. Abdulkadir Haji is a very courageous young person. This was demonstrated in the act that he did during the Westgate terror attack. That was already indicative of the fact that he has the courage to represent Kenyans and make laws that can be enforced to ensure that Kenyans live well. He also has the courage to oversight. In this young man, I see ... view
