• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the use of the roads, as the Cabinet Secretary had stated, the works are on course. Some of them are subject to availability of funds. However, I have heard the sentiments expressed by the Senator and we will seek further consultation and confirm the way forward. I will need time to get the details on how the Kshs45 million was distributed because the Senator had not sought for that information earlier. The indicated date of completion was the presumed time of completion. I will also get further clarification if there is any variation because I was ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just need to perhaps jog the memory of Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. I have intervened on so many other roads and issues that concern the Committee, as an Opposition Member of this Senate and a Vice-Chairperson of the Committee. Therefore, it does not matter whether I sit on this side or the other side; when I am given work I do it to satisfaction. I have even succeeded in summoning the Cabinet Secretary who has appeared here to answer questions. Why did you not refuse to attend because I am a Member of the Opposition? That question, ... view
• 28 Jun 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I wish to thank Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o for bringing this Motion, which gives us an opportunity, as leaders, to brainstorm and see how best we can protect the lives and property of our fellow Kenyans who live in this area. I was once called when there was a serious attack on people who have lived in peace for so many years. They know one another and speak one another’s languages. You cannot tell, for example, who is a Nandi and who is a Luo ... view
• 9 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Health.

• 7 Jun 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I beg to support it because it brings some clarity. It assists in the implementation of the Constitution in the two-thirds gender rule. That is why I am excited about it. It cannot be institutionalized as an institution as Parliament, but it should be nationalized. This is the song that everybody must sing everywhere; the two-thirds gender rule. In addition, it favours women. This is still a patriarchal society. Women are yet to fully participate in politics as men. Any time the gender ... view
