• 31 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to the Second Schedule of the Standing Orders. You have given directions on two Petitions. With regard to the Petition relating to Bomu Hospital in Mombasa, you have committed it to the Committee on Health as well as the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. If you read through the Second Schedule of our Standing Orders, in terms of the respective mandates of Committees, there is nowhere in that Petition, whether from the body or from the prayers, that the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare that I chair comes in. I think ... view
• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Senator for Nairobi County, I am honoured and pleased to officially welcome the delegation to Nairobi County. I was born and raised in Nairobi, but I come from Trans Nzoia County. Many of the honourable ladies and gentlemen here are well known to me. At some point, there was rumour that I would vie there, but that was not the case. However, if I ever change my mind, I am sure that we will work together. Having said that, I welcome them, together with the MCAs from Busia County. We have a great responsibility as ... view

• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the cardinal rule on skills transfer is that work that can be done by Kenyans should not be done by foreign nationals in this country. It has been claimed that there are certain departments where no Kenyan is staffed. There are claims that once the SGR train was launched, Kenyans have never driven it again despite having some with such qualifications. There are claims we are investigating that Kenyans with qualifications such as diplomas and degrees in engineering are being bypassed by Chinese nationals who come in, train for two weeks and take those jobs. As ... view

• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thought Members had all contributed to this particular issue. However, I will speak after they are all done because I just want to acknowledge the comments that I have received as the Committee goes into it. A few others want to contribute. view
• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to join my colleagues in welcoming the students from Samburu West. I have been to that constituency severally. I am glad to note that their constituency is the first ever in Samburu to elect a Samburu lady by the name, Hon. Naisula Lesuuda. She is the first elected Samburu lady on the earth. We want to congratulate them. I remember the last time I went there for a harambee, at that time the current MP was a nominated Senator who I was proud to have nominated when I was chairman of TNA. I got three ... view
