• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that in the short stint that he has served, Sen. (Dr.) Kang’ata tried his best. We may not have agreed with his methods sometimes, but he benefited from being able to speak to every individual whenever we had issues where we did not agree. Because of that, I want to encourage Sen. Wamatangi to caucus. What we have seen in the past year and further, is what works in this House, because we are a small House. Persuasion, consultation and respect will always trump ‘ kifua’ and intimidation because there are no children in ... view

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: party was appointing or supporting him for that position, it did not give him a letter. Jubilee Party did not frame any reason as to why they gave him that position; it was an issue of confidence.” As we go ahead and even in your position, Sen. Wamatangi and Sen. Poghisio, be careful. What you do will be done to you, and things change. When you make any rules or any moves, just assume that you worst enemy is in the position to do the same to you. So, be gracious and kind. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: I hope that Sen. Poghisio has heard because he is the one who told us about putting water on the head. Be very careful because you might be shaved, and we hope not because we like your leadership. However, be gentle and in the small politics that I have done in my young age, never ever burn a bridge. Do not burn bridges. You might need to walk back on the path that you have come. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Congratulations, Sen. Wamatangi. view

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I was on a point of order, but Sen. Farhiya has finished. I understand the passion and pain and I also condemn the demolitions which are not done in a humane way. However, some words used are not parliamentary and need to be withdrawn. If I heard right, Sen. Farhiya said: “What kind of a monster did the people of Kisumu elect?” Referring to a governor as a monster cannot be on the record on this House. It is not parliamentary. It is not right despite what has been done. I would ask that you rule that ... view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, yes. It appears during Sen. Farhiya’s good contribution that there is a problem within finance because it looks like those are the documents that are flammable in counties more than any other thing. The Public Finance Management Act (PFM) is very specific when it comes to keeping records. I know Sen. Wambua’s question might have been directed to the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. However, possibly the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget needs to give us a status of how information and documents are being stored in counties because it cannot be ... view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Deputy Speaker. Allow me to thank Sen. Kwamboka who as she said is a “born town”. She was born in Nairobi and raised in Dandora. These are very important questions and I am glad that Sen. Were has chimed in because she is spot on in the issues she is raising for these two Statements. First, I am happy the Chairperson of the Committee on Education is here. She is a very able Chairperson who was trained by me when I was a Chairperson and she was my vice chairperson. Madam Deputy Speaker, on the ... view

• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: If you look at these primary school children, especially, they are completely hopeless because they are hungry. We used to have a robust school feeding programme. Can it be reinstated or should we amend the Education Act? This is because in urban areas, especially in Nairobi, when there is no food because of the economic situations, there is nothing at all. Madam Deputy Speaker, sometimes in the rural areas, you can find some mahindi view
