• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Today, I was honoured and humbled to have received this award of the Chief of the Order of the Burning Spear (CBS). This is in recognition of the legislative efforts that I have done over the last six years since I was a Member of the National Assembly. It is because of the Bills that I have brought to this Parliament. It is very humbling. I would also like to congratulate the rest, who got it, like Sen. Moi and Sen. (Dr.) Zani, who should also wear it. We can wear the sash today until we sleep. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as I welcome the student leaders and the students in the Gallery, just the other day, I sat where they are sitting. Not in the Gallery, but as a student leader. When I saw that they are here, I rushed to get this sash to show that leadership in university is not a destination, but a beginning. I was a student leader at the University of Nairobi (UoN), my alma mater . I was in the Students Organisation of Nairobi University (SONU), and even when we were there, there was a distinction of those of us ... view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: I, therefore, encourage them that this country needs them. We need young people and leaders who are visionary, and who are thinking about the future and are not preoccupied with the past. When this country got its Independence, it was carried on the shoulders of young people. Hon. Tom Mboya was in his 20s; the former President, hon. Mwai Kibaki, was 32 years old when he was the Executive Director of the Kenya African National Union (KANU). There are many others who were very young.

• 29 May 2019 in Senate: this country, yet again, needs young leaders like these –like the ladies from Kangaru Girls School – who can look at the future in the eye, change this country and rescue us from the shackles of corruption and tribalism. I welcome them. view
• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, because you are the one who put this sash on me. I hope that one day – just like my senior, Sen. Khaniri – I will graduate to another one, as we go on. view

• 29 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to add on that Statement, we are wondering what is happening with these agencies – Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). In Nairobi City County, we are facing many similar issues regarding compensation where people have been moved out, for example, in areas adjacent to Waiyaki Way on the expansion on James Gichuru Road. In Kibera, hundreds of families were removed to pave way for the completion of just one kilometer of road, but to date, they have not been compensated. They are living out there ... view
• 28 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I urge our Committee on Finance and Budget to seriously take up this matter. If you listened to that Statement, you will realise that we have two problems.

Nevertheless, the banks behaved as if they were in cahoots ... view
