• 10 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to support the amendment because it is very useful. This is a Motion that will go very far in helping Kenyans live a comfortable life, come up with development and assist, especially the people who are less privileged.

• 2 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I fully support the Motion because we have seen how things have gone from bad to worse within our society. This monster we complain about; insecurity, this is where it really and truly all begins. Two weeks ago, I went to talk to some women in some slums within Nairobi, and there were young men aged 14, 15 or 16, and they confessed to me openly that they have guns. To them, those are toys and it is not a big deal. ... view
• 27 Jun 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me the chance to contribute to this Motion. I wish to fully support the Motion on the basis that it is timous. This is the time devolution is taking shape in our country and it is part of the implementation of the new Constitution which we fought so hard to pass. I disagree with my colleagues who do not support the Motion. I do not see it as a threat to the standards of education as alleged. In my humble view, it will help the locals within the county to eradicate poverty because ... view

• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I beg to support the Motion. It is high time that Kenya was ranked as one of the most developed countries in the world. You cannot purport to be developed if your infrastructure is wanting. We have been bragging about the Thika Super Highway but this is not even a dot of what is expected of Kenya. Using that as an example, we have seen that trading between Nairobi County and Thika County and any other area which you can access using the Thika Super Highway becoming easier. When infrastructure ... view
• 24 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I also wish to congratulate all the people who were elected and nominated to the Eleventh Parliament to various capacities. Moreso, I wish to thank my party, the Wiper Democratic Party for having nominated me as a Senator. A lot has been spoken. I will be very brief. Although some areas of the President’s Speech have been highlighted, when the President started his speech I was very happy when I heard him congratulating the record number of women in both Houses. I expected to hear how he ... view
• 17 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to support the Motion because it is very important at this stage and time of the country making history. We saw the importance of the Joint Sitting of the Senate and National Assembly yesterday. We synergized and came up with ideas even as Members of the National Assembly and Senate mingled. This will also give the Senate and county assembly members an opportunity to come up with bright ideas of how they are going to govern this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important also, as my other colleagues have said, that the Senators who ... view
