• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support and thank Sen. Olekina for bringing up these Amendments. Just before I forget, as we put in the amendments, we also need to check on what to do about importation of voters. I have personally seen, as I monitor elections, people crossing from Makueni and Machakos to come and register and vote in Kajiado, where they are not residents. They agree to be imported and are paid for it. They are transported on the day of elections to come and tamper, and choose for us, the people of Kajiado, a leader that ... view
• 14 May 2019 in Senate: I even know of a car that was almost burned at the time when we were doing voter registration. I have evidence of somebody who told me, ―Here are two buses full of people who we do not know where they have come from, and they were here as early as 6.00 a.m.‖ People were transported from as far as Kiambu to come and determine a vote for Kajiado, when we have residents there. Importation of voters is another thing that we need to think about. Voters are imported to go to a particular area and determine the kind of ... view

• 14 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is a bit exciting to know that we have many proposed amendments to our election laws, of course, to better our operations. As I had said, it is not really about much of the laws and the papers that we put forth, but mostly about how willing we are to implement--- view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to make my comments on the Speech made by the President during the State of the Nation Address. Having looked at the Address made by H.E. the President, he used the words “no turning back” almost 10 times. It is really promising considering that it came from our President because we are fighting corruption as a country. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: We have had problems with our election systems and the rule of law. The President went ahead to say that the state of our nation is strong and that he will not turn back on what we are doing. I believe that the President is serious when he said that there is no turning back. However, we have challenges of corruption. As I speak now, we have not received any rains so far. The long rains are not forthcoming, and I do not know how prepared we are. Last time, a lot of money was set aside in anticipation of ... view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, insecurity in the country is on the rise. A young university student by the name Ivy Wangechi was brutally killed the other day. There have been a lot of senseless killings. Our youths are also unemployed. However, I believe that the President‟s commitment on not turning back on what is gainful to this country is serious. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: I remember when His Excellency President Uhuru was the Minister for Finance, he said: “Can‟t pay, won‟t pay.” However, when he became the President, he authorised payment for the Anglo-Leasing scandal. I believe that this is a new gesture and he is serious this time because he stated more than ten times in his Address that we will not turn back as a country. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the President gave hope to our athletes, entrepreneurs and people in various disciplines, including our teachers that there is no The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: turning back for a better future in this country. The peak of it all for me was when the President said that there will be no turning back on the Building Bridges Initiative. This is a process that I really appreciate. I recently told the Chairperson of the Building Bridges Initiative that he has a chance to give this country a turning point. Whatever the Building Bridges Initiative team will resolve, it will give a chance to redirect this country to the right direction. view
