• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I seek your guidance because Sen. Orengo has ended it well. However, we need your pronouncement and direction on the issue of CSs refusing to appear. For instance, on the issue of sports, we invited them thrice and I have been very hesitant, but we have had to issue summons. We have even brought a Motion of Censure here on some of the CSs. Mr. Speaker, Sir, many months ago, you led us to meeting with the coordinating team under CS, Dr. Matiang’i, and we agreed on how we shall be doing ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: optional that you discuss and agree. It is a big hallmark of our Constitution and we need you to lead from the front. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I have a point of order. I am seeing there is a Statement being requested by Sen Ngugi, because he has a right to request it on a matter of Nairobi. I am wondering how these Statements are processed. Such a statement on Gikomba has already come to this House. I brought it. I am not sure whether Sen Ngugi knows the county he represents.

• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: to learn, only for one of them to end up being paid Kshs25,000, while another one receives Kshs10,000. That is not fair. It is good to inform the public and Members of the Senate that the Committee Labour and Social Welfare together with Committee on Education is actively working to resolve the matter. Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I acknowledge this Petition by Sen. Halake on behalf of all these organizations. Poverty is a very bad thing. I would hate to view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: imagine such a discussion taking place in another country; that the Kenyan Embassy is donating money to the democratic party and to institutions in the US or other countries for the election. A country’s sovereignty is something to be safeguarded and it should embarrass us--- I am saying this as someone who also led a party. We have depended on a lot of these foreign missions and organizations, such as National Democratic Institute (NDI), the International Republican Institute (IRI), State University of New York (SUNY) and many others. While it is true that their needs to be - even if ... view

• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, the person closest with the threat of dementia really cannot be me. Even in terms of age, I am a bit far from that. ( Laughter ) view
