I rise to support this Motion because two years ago I was once assisted by the Office of the Ombudsman. As a lawyer, I would have quickly rushed to any court of law when I felt that I was unfairly treated by the administration. It was a case where I was unfairly treated by the Rural Electrification Authority (REA). I weighed the options that I had. I had the option of going to court or ... view

• 9 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is out of order for him to try and say that he should have extended the handshake and choose who to shake hands with. I think the President was in order to decide what business he had and how to handle it. He is out of order. view
• 9 May 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for allowing me to contribute to this Address by the President. I was impressed by the President taking time to update us on what is happening in our nation. Particularly, he talked about the implementation of the Constitution. This is so dear to me because of the history we have had in this country. It was only upon a new Constitution that some of us started feeling the Kenyanness in us. The President appreciated this Parliament. He said it has played its role in enacting enabling legislation. We appreciate that. However, when it ... view

This Bill brings a sense of nationalism, patriotism and belonging. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill could not have come at a better time. It is good that it has come at this particular time when we are speaking about reconciling as a country and going back to the feeling of being Kenyan by taking advantage of what we saw on the 9th March, 2018 between our two leaders; ‘the people’s president’ and the President of the Republic of Kenya. This is a Bill that sets the tone for this sort of reconciliation that we about to undertake as a country. At one point, there was a saying that was ... view
