We know that Kenya is endowed with enormous resources. Over time, communities have been complaining about the benefits that have been accruing from the natural resources that are within their areas. The fact that devolution is with us, this particular Bill would not have come at a better time. The Senate is living to its expectations and that of the people. This is a House that will apparently address the challenges that are being faced by our various ... view
• 26 Feb 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to thank Sen. Moses Kajwang for his very eloquent contribution and making his Maiden Speech today. Nakuru is looking forward to working together with you. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my contribution will be on three of the five pillars that are in the Budget Policy Statement. I want to focus on agriculture.

• 18 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. This Bill could not have come at a better time. The Professor has apparently felt the pain of his people dying. It is shameful that at this hour, people in Kenya continue killing one another because of issues that can be sorted out.

For someone that is not ... view

• 15 Aug 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek a small clarification on Chapter 280 of this particular Report. It refers to the word “nguu”. I understand the Kamba Language and I speak it. When you talk about a “nguu”, you are talking about something that walks slowly because it is a tortoise. So, when it is reported here that the Deputy Governor referred to outsiders as “nguu”, personally that does not make sense at all to me because--- view

• 10 Jul 2014 in Senate: Yes, “for catching my signal” just for clarification. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to add my voice on seeking clarification on stalled roads in this country.
