• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: We need to have a middle ground where it should not necessarily be a degree but post-secondary education for all MCAs, so that we have some minimum standards when it comes to prosecuting the agenda both in the county assembly and national level. It is good to note that it has been documented that those who have good communication skills possess the world. The power gap is not a matter of conjecture. However, like where I come from in Central Kenya, people who tend to be elected more often than not are businessmen and women compared, for example, to Nyanza ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: I wish this was the case for the country but the truth is that we are not yet there. Sometimes it is good to imagine that because of this idea rote learning, it does not always mean that because you have a degree, you have gone to school. Even for PhD, of late, there have been serious complaints. Remember the case of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology where people were wondering how comes there were many people who were getting PhDs the other day only to realise that there were people who were doing degrees for others. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Let us have an honest and robust debate about this issue but I do not think that just simply having an academic qualification makes you a good leader. If that were the case, then the Mau Mau would not have gone to fight for Independence because they were not properly educated. The problem with our universities is that they are no longer populated with faculty and learners in pursuit of intellectual rigor and discovery. They are mostly daytime career people, evening moonlighters and students whose goal is to get that piece of paper to impress upon parents and employers. This ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: some of the people who perform well at work are diploma holders and many Senators here will bear me witness. Let this matter rest but I would implore upon the sponsor of the Bill, Sen. Murkomen, to consider making some amendments so that you have some lower threshold but at the same time not making it so stringent that those who do not have degrees may not be able to lead this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support. view
• 22 Dec 2021 in Senate: Asante Bw. Spika kwa kunipa nafasi hii ya kuwa wa mwisho kuzungumza. Ninawatakia Wakenya wote salamu za heri na fanaka msimu huu wa Krisimasi. Ninaomba demokrasia iweze kudumu ili kila mtu awe na haki ya kujieleza kwa uhuru. Katika msimu huu wa Krisimasi, tuwe na umoja na tuweze kusaidia wale ambao wana kipato cha chini na hawajafaidika kama wengine. Pia tudumishe undugu ndiposa kila mtu ajihisi kama Mkenya. Tusiangalie tofauti zetu za kisiasa kama jambo la kututenganisha sisi kwa sababu tutakuwa na mirengo mingi ya kisiasa, upande huu utavutia upande ule mwingine. Lakini fauka ya hayo yote, Kenya nzima inafaa ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It gives me great pleasure to come back to this august House, and I thank the Lord Almighty for giving me an opportunity to come back here. In fact, the book of 1John 5; 14 it says- “If we ask anything according to his will, He hear us”. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Further, in the book of Job 14:7, it says; “At least there is hope for a tree. If it is cut down, it will sprout again and its new shoots will not fail. Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stamp die in the soil, yet at the scent of water; it will bud and put forward shoots like a plant”. Mr. Speaker Sir, today you are a hero because you have obeyed the rule of law. You have expressed neutrality in your quest to ensure that everybody has a chance to become whatever they would want ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: My political witch-hunt was fomented due to my clamor for equal opportunity for all Kenyans. This was born of my long struggle to represent the voiceless and underprivileged Kenyans on this Floor and outside the Chambers of this august House. This realization is occasioned to me like a eureka moment that no matter how I fought for them to be included in society, their inclusion will only be token as long as equal opportunity for all citizens was not realized. These calls upon all of us from our different walks of life to keep eternal vigilance; to rise up and ... view
