• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: have “eaten” money meant to fight this pandemic, in all seriousness, are not better than those who commit the offence of genocide. We cannot be afraid to say so. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to urge the Government agencies that are dealing with those who are playing around with the funds that have been allocated for the fight against this pandemic. You are not doing a great job. In the United States of America (USA), within one year of Trump’s presidency, his own colleagues in Government were serving jail terms. In our situation, somebody can run away with murder and, ... view
• 3 Jun 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Motion. I was waiting for the Senator of Nakuru to speak, but I have been told that she is supportive of this Motion. I am glad of the fact that she is taking leadership in this Motion to give the people of Nakuru what they deserve. view

Since then, we have had people from various communities and ethnicities elected in the great city of Nakuru. In my view, if it Nakuru fails to achieve the criteria for being elevated to a city, then I do not know which other city or town can ... view
• 3 Jun 2021 in Senate: Having said that, those who manage our towns and cities have got great responsibilities of ensuring that they are properly planned. They should ensure that the taxes that people pay whether they are local or coming from the national Government, they are properly used to maintain these cities. Cities are the human habitats of now and the future. Less and less people are living in the rural countryside. view

I hope that report in itself would not make any Member fail to support this Motion for the elevation of Nakuru to city status. view
