• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have not tried to challenge you, and I have no capacity to challenge you. I ask the Senate Majority Leader not to incite you to take unnecessary action. view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is the issue about the invisible hand of the market. I also tell the Senate Majority Leader that I will return favour for favour. I have supported his job which he has done well so far. The only thing is that he tries to interfere with other people, yet he has a lot of time to speak. There is the issue of the visible hand of the Government and the invisible hand of the market. These are the interests that we are seeing in the health sector where we have a whole Kshs9.4 billion going to ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am sorry I am not supposed to be on record when laughing. Sen. Sakaja has used a word that may need to be interrogated further, but it may go unnoticed because he is a ‘Super Senator’. Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to second my Chairperson of the Senate Labour and Social Welfare Committee in supporting the approval of the nomination of hon. Chepkong’a to be the male Non-member nominee to the PSC. I base my support on the way I saw him conduct himself in the last Parliament. Hon. Chepkong’a together with others, I included, joined ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to make my contribution on this issue of attire. Attire is very important and if you go to the various parliaments and chambers you will see that various countries have moved from the traditional aspect of allowing Members to only wear suits as the only uniform – if you like - of parliament. In the 11th Parliament when I appeared in the National Assembly, a Member rose to say that I was wearing a hat as if I am a cowboy. I love to wear African attire like the Nigerian agbada and the ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The content or the form in which we dress is a clear representation of our cultures. It is, therefore, important to allow that diversity. There is strength in diversity and hon. Members should be allowed to dress decently, but in a manner that would encourage Kenyans to be proud of their own cultures. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are all aware that we have a national dress that was approved. However, the only time we see people wearing it is by our athletes or when we are out of the country. I have, for example, never ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to briefly support the Statement by saying that the cost of electricity in this country has gone very high. Indeed, the breakdown of the cost is not justifiable. I am sure that many hon. Members here have become victims of the monopoly of Kenya Power (KP). We are reeling under very high electricity costs; which means that you have no options. If you are given a bill, you just have to pay. Sometimes we even pay when we have not spent time in the facility that is being charged; that is what Kenyans ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was anticipating debate on the Solai Dam Tragedy. Thank you. view

• 2 Aug 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when you look at the history human rights, there is one thing that is very consistent. Owners of capital have for long derided the crusaders for a true, equal and just society. Summarize the decision in the statement that “human rights are virtue and cooperate rights are real.” It means that the pursuit for private profiteering is more important than any other right, including the right to life. “Mr. Speaker,” this is what is being demonstrated by this gentleman. view
