• 31 Mar 2022 in Senate: who would come to my office for those meetings. The amount we were able to secure for the councillors was coming to Kshs250,000 each. Mr Speaker, Sir, we appealed that they consider an increment. I personally asked the President to host all the former councillors to acknowledge that they are the fathers of devolution, that we stand on their shoulders, and to even give them a certificate of recognition for the work that they have done and increased that amount. Appreciating these councillors would go a long way. If they were not preoccupied with this issue that has happened today, ... view

• 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: You know this is a very serious House and we have rules. You have repeatedly ignored the casual manner in which the Senator for Nandi is mixing languages. This is not a baraza in the street or a forum in Kapsabet. This is the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. When you start in English, you finish in English. You do not mix unless you have quotations. When you start in Swahili, you finish in Swahili. The Senator is treating the House very casually. His off the cuff remarks are very interesting. There are reasons why we have rules. Kindly, ... view
