• 10 May 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was willing, but I am told that it is against the rules, given that I have already started my reply. However, I recognize the former Attorney-General and good Senator for Busia County. The Speech by the President was good and needs to be celebrated by this House. It captured all the facets of what the Government wants to do for the next four years. In particular, there is the so-called Big Four Agenda. The Government wants to address the issue of housing, food security, job creation and healthcare. The Government has taken into account the contributions ... view

• 18 Apr 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you do not mind, I request that you add me some few minutes so that I can adequately eulogise Mr. Matiba. First and foremost, I would like to say that I was raised in a place called Murang’a Town but I hail from a place called Kahuya Gathinja. Incidentally, that is where Stanley Njindo Matiba comes from. So, he was my village mate by virtue of the fact that we come from the same place. Matiba became prominent because of several things: One, he did something that was quite unthinkable in our region. He defeated a ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Bill because it seeks to clarify some of the lacunas we have been encountering in the running of county governments. It will address the issue concerning the vacation of offices of key personnel in counties. That is the speaker, deputy speaker and CPSB members. How do you remove such persons?

For example, the CPSB members. Every time we ... view
