• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: We need to establish who the signatories of this Fund are and how payments are made out of this Fund. With Kshs8.1 billion, how is it that we can have Kenyans representing us stranded at an airport and hotels because bills have not been paid, yet amounts have been approved or released? Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other day, the Kenya Rugby Union, a sport I really love, was auctioned because of debts of Kshs10 million, yet more than Kshs70 million or Kshs80 million of theirs was approved in July, but never remitted to them. We will look at these issues. ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: I thank Sen. Cheruiyot for that information. If you look at Part 2 of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya, on the functions of county Governments, No.4 talks about cultural activities, public entertainment and public amenities, including sports, cultural activities and facilities. How is it that regulations concerning a sports fund were passed by another House and did not come to the Senate? Those are part of the questions that we must get answers to because these sports are happening in the counties. As you have heard, there are many issues, and that is why, ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to give an undertaking that I will do all I can to make sure that the Harambee Starlets are funded for their immediate engagements, view

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: so that we do not lose the big picture. As we address the substantive issues, we will make sure that the Harambee Starlets and Harambee Stars are not stuck. I will be engaging just this afternoon with the Cabinet Secretary in charge of sports as well as the Principal Secretary, to make sure that the team is represented. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Senator for Homa Bay who is also the Chair of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee insinuating that Members cannot read the Order Paper, because he is starting to read for us the counties as listed? This House is a House of very honourable men and women who are very clear about what they are doing in the House. That insinuation that there are certain Members from those counties who do not know that their counties are being discussed is not right.

• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have always known Sen. Shiyonga to be serious about scooping, but not to this extent; all the way to the USA. Congratulations! Mr. Speaker, Sir, the aspect I want to bring out is that it is, indeed, a trend that many great Kenyans get recognised out there before they are recognised in Kenya. I am not sure whether Sen. Shiyonga has got such an award locally. The late Wangari Maathai was never feted in Kenya before she got a Nobel Peace Prize. Recently, a Kenyan; Tabichi, became the best teacher in the ... view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you for that very useful piece of information. It makes it clear that Kenyans are excelling all over the world, and we are being recognised out there. However, we have not found a way to actually encourage good performance locally. These awards are not to make people’s egos go up or make us feel proud, but just to encourage others that the small things you do in the society can go a long way and be recognised; and for others to also start doing those things. Therefore, congratulations “mama signal.” Well done for that award. We now want to ... view

• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Bi. Spika wa Muda, nimemsikia ndugu yangu, Seneta wa Mombasa, akiniomba nimpe nafasi ya kuhudumia watu wake. Ningependa atueleze kinaga ubaga, ni kwa njia gani nimekua kizuizi ama nimefanya asiweze kuhudumia watu wa Mombasa ambao nawapenda sana. Ingekuwa vyema atueleze.
