• 1 Apr 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to also applaud the Speech made by the President. Considering that I have two minutes, I want to go straight to the good things that have happened during his reign apart from the corruption. First of all, it was very magnanimous of him to apologize about corruption considering some of the things happening today are mistakes that he inherited. Secondly, I am looking at things that have happened during his reign. He talked about Kenya being one of the countries that is now considered as a fast-growing economy. We ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to add my voice to this Bill, which I also support fully.

It is a good idea to have classification of schools. A good example is the former Central Province which has Alliance and Mang’u high schools whereas the other regions do not have ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to also add my voice to this Bill. I would like to note what my fellow colleague, Sen. Wangari, said earlier, that harambee spirit was introduced by the founding father of the country, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. When it was introduced, we agreed that it was a good idea then.
