• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: I think that Kenya will be a better place with more ladies as governors than men. The men have been a little bit of disappointment because some of them are thieves. None of the three lady governors has been questioned or subjected to any serious investigations. There might have been audit queries here or there but largely, proportionately, they have done very well. The lady Senators have also done very well. When the men are all gone, the ladies sit here until 6.30 p.m. I do not know where we men hurry to while the lady Senators sit here until ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I pray for the family of Governor (Dr.) Laboso. We are mourning the great lady who has made Kenya one; people mourning in Kisumu and Bomet counties. We are also mourning in Siaya County. That is the wonderful thing about women. They can make the world truly one place. Men are a little bit backward but women can live anywhere, anytime and rise above the rest in life. I pray that the Almighty will put the soul of the late Governor (Dr.) Laboso in eternal peace. view

• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement. The population of lions, especially the African lion, is dwindling in Africa. In West and North Africa, where lions used to roam, you can hardly find the African lion. Conservationists have said that the African lion can only be found in Eastern African and some parts of South and Central Africa. If we do not take measures, in another 50 years, we may only see lions in European zoos because they know how to keep them there. Many animals that are becoming extinct in the third world can be found in ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Fiduciary Risk Report. I commend the Committee for coming up with this Report, and generally for the hard work being done by them. In terms of performance, no one can doubt the good work that this Committee is doing constantly. It is the Committee that has the most regular meetings. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker and Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko for protecting me. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was commending this Committee for the work it is doing. In the history of the Senate, this is one of the best Committees we have had over time. I hope they will continue to render this kind of work to the Senate. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Secondly, before I comment on the Report, I also thank the Auditor-General for the work that he has done over the years. As the Senate or Parliament, we depend on the report of the Auditor-General in doing oversight work, particularly in considering reports that are annually or regularly given to the House. The current Auditor-General, in terms of comparisons with other Auditor-Generals we have had over the years, has done a magnificent job. The only other Auditor-General who can compare with him, but whom I think he surpasses, was the first Auditor and Controller-General; a Mr. Njoroge. He was the ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I dare say that had we listened to the Auditor- General right from the time he began his work, the current war against corruption would have been more successfully fought, because year after year, reports came from his office. However, the reaction then was an attempt to curtail his powers. Consequently, amendments were brought to Parliament to try and interfere with the independence of that office, but he was up to the job. There were times when both the Executive and elements in Parliament were not quite happy with him. Some people thought he was embarrassing the ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Mr. Edward Ouko has a good track record. When he was in Abidjan, working for the African Development Bank (ADB), he left a very good track record. He has now also done some stunning work here. view
