• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just want to inform the Chair of the Senate Committee on Health. I would have done this formally, but it came up today in my Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. A lot of issues coming from Sen. Malalah are in many of our counties. We have seen workers being fired in Kirinyaga County. There are issues in Laikipia County et cetera. These are labour related issues. Due to the huge task that is with the Senate Committee on Health, we are going to at least help them on the labour aspect so that ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Our doctors, nurses and casual labourers are not being treated well. That is the crux of the problem within our counties.

• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. Just to join Sen. Khaniri in his Statement that he has made, on my own behalf and that of the people of Nairobi, where the family of Kadenge has lived for years in Mariakani; the Abaluhya Football Club (AFC) Leopards, where I am the patron, we pass to the family of Joe Kadenge the most sincere condolences .

• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Joe Kadenge has left such a serious vacuum. He has left a mark that no one will ever take away. That is why I disagree with Sen. Dullo who said that naming a stadium is not enough. It means a lot for us. It immortalizes Joe Kadenge, the best footballer this country has had. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the Northern Ireland, at the capital, Belfast, you land at an airport called George Best Belfast City Airport. George Best was not a political leader as much as he was the best footballer that came out of Northern Ireland. ... view
• 9 Jul 2019 in Senate: I thank the Deputy President who went there yesterday and other leaders who visited. However, before that, the Rt. Hon. former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga has stood with Joe Kadenge more than anybody else, in all fairness. He has stood with Joe Kadenge and his family through thick and thin. There are many times when we would be called upon as patrons of AFC Leopards and him as patron of Gor Mahia to go for a match and the Rt. hon. Raila Odinga would ask for Joe Kadenge. We would have to make space for Joe Kadenge. In the historic ... view

As we deal with this issue, a similar matter was brought to this House along that area affecting my people in Uthiru and Mountain View on the expansion along Waiyaki Way.

Since the Committee has not brought a response to the House concerning the ... view

• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senate Majority Leader has compared the National Assembly to a high school. Has he done that because of the numbers in the National Assembly, their behaviour or is it both? I would want him to clarify that. view
