• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: Wakati Chief Justice wa kwanza alipoteuliwa, kulikuwa na hali ngumu ya kisiasa katika nchi ya Uganda. Kuna wakati Chief Justice Kiwanuka na Wabunge walijaribu sana kuona kwamba Uganda inalinda Katiba na kuzingatia demokrasia lakini hawakufaulu kwa sababu baadaye Jemedari Amin alichukua uongozi na kurekebisha hali hiyo. Hatimaye kulikuwa na vita. Watu waliuwawa, wengine walikamatiwa na wengine walitoroka Uganda. Kwa hivyo, nampongeza sana aliyekuwa Spika kwa sababu katika hali hiyo ngumu, yeye pamoja na wanasiasa wengine wa Uganda walijaribu sana kuona kwamba kuna serikali ya kidemokrasia katika nchi ya Uganda.

• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Bill. As already been set out clearly, in the speech by the Senate Majority Leader, this is a very important Bill that is predicated in Article 218 of the Constitution.

• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: As we move forward, I urge very strongly the Government to continue looking at the debt portfolio and to ensure we do not fall into debt and therefore, into competition with revenue that is available cheaply to entrepreneurs and Kenyans, generally. The Government should also compete with money available in the financial markets, with ordinary business people and Kenyans to the extent that banks would choose to lend their money to the national Government as opposed to making affordable financial allocations and meeting financial requirements of the ordinary businessman and citizen. Debt continues to be a major problem in this ... view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: ( Laughter) view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: The reason why it is happening is not a laughing matter. It is an issue that demonstrates that when a government is functioning, I said it here a long time ago in the last Senate, that there was dysfunction within the Jubilee Government and the people did not take that seriously. A lot of friends who sat across were not taking those words seriously yet we could see that the dysfunctional government was making it impossible for the Government to undertake major economic activities in all sectors. I am not saying that we do not have any problems, but a ... view

• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: to be looked at. We cannot run away from that because people must have food and shelter. Overall, if you look at what has happened in the last three years, it has made it possible for this Government to make some kind of achievements in a climate or environment of peace. I hope that the debt incurred by the Government in making it possible for us to have appropriate infrastructure will be paid back. One of the projects that is underway is to make sure that there is a dual carriageway from Nairobi up to Nakuru and beyond. I hope ... view
