• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: We should not shy away about mental health. We should encourage access to mental health services especially to young people particularly men. Ladies have a good support system like chamas where they talk to each other. When men go through mental health issues, they do not talk about it to anyone. People get into alcoholism and drugs. I always tell young men not to be shy. To talk to someone when they are not okay. Thank you for this statement. We shall keep on pushing it. I assure you that when I will be elected the Governor of Nairobi, I ... view

• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second that the Elections (Amendment) (No.3) Bill (Senate Bills No.48 of 2021) be read a Second Time. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. (Eng) Maina has done a good thing. I hope he is not leaving this House as I second his Bill. In the two last general elections, people were doing very crazy things, including changing their names. Going to get a deed poll and you change your name. You add it because you thought people knew you very well by that particular name. I have a friend, the former Governor of Nairobi ... view

• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: father’s name and the identification card (ID) reads “generali” or some funny names that do not match. view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Yes, my friend and follower in the University of Nairobi who is Paul Ongili and many people do not know him by that name. If the name is on the ballot paper, he can lose votes because people know him as Babu Owino. I may, for instance, wish to be called super governor. Today, if you say “super Senator”, every Kenyan knows who you are talking about. In as much as I know, in the rural areas some try to use that name. If I say super governor, they already know whom I am talking about if I just put ... view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Many of them are affectionate, you know. They describe who you are. For instance, “Baba or “Hustler” If today you say “Hustler”, everyone knows you are talking about His Excellency the Deputy President Dr. William Ruto. If you say “Baba”, they know you are talking about Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. If you say the fifth, I do not know what people think you are talking about; it could be either of them. This is welcome, but it needs to be strengthened so that people do not abuse this. You do not want a situation where somebody in the Nairobi City ... view

• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Somebody may have stayed long in a rural area. They may be known as a carpenter or he sells things. If he gives tanks, he might be known as “Wamatangi”, or “Wamashati” if he sells shirts. I know someone in Uasin Gishu who is called “Koti Moja” because he has one coat. That is how people have known him. He should be allowed to use Koti moja on the ballot and the voter will know that is the person who we want to elect as governor, for instance, if that is what he is going for. I am not sure, ... view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is because of Kirinyaga Constructors and all that, so he had to add it. He did not have to do so. I have another that describes him. This is a very kind man. I was his Chairman in The National Alliance (TNA) and he really supported me. I know even for Nairobi City County, he might be in another camp for now, but he is fully supporting me. When he supports you, it is kwa hali na mali not just lip service. The people of Nyeri County are very lucky to have him. I will go ... view
