• 29 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very uncommon of me to demean a colleague. I hold a lot of respect for my Chairman and very able friend, the Senator for Migori County. It is a slip of the tongue. I apologise. I want to proceed by saying that the ultimate solution to our problem here lies in with the Chairman. In this case, he is giving us the response from the Ministry of Health. It is true one level of government can perform the function of the other with agreements and delegation. Honestly, I want to know is there such an ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to support the Motion for adoption of this Report of the Standing Committee on Roads and Transportation. As a Member of the Committee, I attended the workshop during the Road Stakeholders Forum which was held at The Safari Park Hotel on 3rd February, 2016. The Forum was convened to address a very serious issue because as we know, for any country to develop, the infrastructure has to be in place. One of the infrastructures which have to be in place is the roads. In this case, we had to get the stakeholders together. ... view

• 3 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues in opposing this Bill. When Kenyans passed the Constitution (2010), it was clear that we accepted that we are not at the same level because different parts of this country have been marginalised. That is why this Equalisation Fund was created. It was a noble idea. However, it has limitations in the sense that the amount is not sufficient because it is 0.5 per cent. Again, the period of 20 years is not enough to cure that marginalisation. While we are still findings ways of enhancing the funds and maybe even ... view
• 13 Oct 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to join Sen. Haji in bringing out the issue. The Makonde people have been around for a long time, but they have not been granted citizenship documents.They have been suffering wherever they are. We also need to check how they have been living with the communities where they reside. Apart from raising the issue, we need to have a resolution of the House which will ask the Government to immediately give these people their rights since they have lived here for over 80 years. We have been told they are industrious people ... view
• 6 Oct 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I commend the Members of the County Assembly from Garissa County for bringing this Petition to the Senate. The county assemblies are supposed to oversight the executive at the county level. Among the things they do is ensuring that the budget is done and then further, the implementation of the same. They also have responsibility on how debts are incurred in the counties. In the first year, when we were summoning the governors, they have been quick to say that they are being oversighted by the county assemblies. However, this is a case that they are ... view
