• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: These are the kind of shifts that we need to look at. We seem to have over- devolved. I heard Sen. Sakaja giving an example that even the money for equitable share can only go for recurrent expenditure. It is true that this country has moved from development surplus to a recurrent deficit. Currently, we are borrowing Kshs800 billion to finance recurrent expenditure.

It is becoming very difficult to access the Exchequer. This can ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Sen. Nyamunga, this is a welcomed Bill. I am afraid of the time that is remaining because it has to go to the National Assembly and back, and we only have two or three months of legislative time that people can concentrate before we have Sine Die recess sometime in June.

I have also noted very curiously that people come to Parliament very naïve. I have been privileged to see this twice. There have been Members with very limited debating skills, for example. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: I remember one of the greatest ladies from Nyanza Region, who once asked me when we were new in the Eleventh Parliament, Sen. Mwaura, how are you able to debate for 10 minutes? She asked me this question but today I see her as one of the best legislators’ - Women Representative - from that region. view
