• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: the factions that are taking place on the Jubilee Party side of the House and sit down to agree on the way forward in amending the Constitution. On the question of amending the Constitution, we are discussing this issue at a time when we are also discussing about achieving gender parity. Since I did not get the time to say this, I want to congratulate Sen. Agnes Muthama for her being elected to the Senate. I went to Machakos and campaigned against her. I stood firm and said that I would prefer her son who is called Ngengele, to be ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: I want to ask Sen. Agnes Muthama to work so hard in this remaining one year, so that either herself or another woman is elected to come here and represent Machakos again, so that we move forward. We do not want to move backwards in terms of election of women to Parliament. It is possible and achievable. I want to ask those who are in the Committee to be willing to listen to us, to have this conversation on how we can make this House gender compliant. We should also assist the National Assembly with the participation of Kenyans, not ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Sen. Orengo, I know that we disagree politically; you are on other side of the political aisle, but I want to assure you that should the opportunity come for us to have a conversation on this Bill --- view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Wetangula used to raise very serious points of orders. I do know when he degenerated to such minute issues on the Floor of the House. view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Be it as it may, in all fairness, I can confidently say that I belong to both UDA and the Jubilee Party. This is the explanation. I was elected to this House under the Jubilee Party of Kenya. In the Jubilee Party, we signed a coalition agreement, even before my election, with UDA. When I arrived in this House, I became the Senate Majority Leader, and the UDA Senator became the Deputy Majority Leader. We have worked together since then, so I am a supporter of both parties. There is no contradiction at all, in so far as the same ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: I am surprised that Sen. Wako who is a senior counsel has not read the relevant provisions of the Constitution that say that you either belong to a party or a coalition of parties. I am part of that coalition that brings together Jubilee Party and UDA. I do not know why Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is shaking his head because he has been knocking the door; he signed a co-operation agreement with Jubilee Party. He also wants to join UDA and Jubilee Party, so he should understand and appreciate that when I say that I belong to the Jubilee ... view

• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Sen. Orengo, I can say I am a member of UDA without a consequence. Nobody can dare to bring anything against me. It is only Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura and other nominated Senators they like harassing. view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: Be that as it may, I am a member of Jubilee coalition where UDA is a member and I am a total sympathizer of UDA party together with all its philosophy and manifesto, the “hustler” and the “wheelbarrow” movement. I also believe in “ tuko pamoja” which is bringing people together. view
• 23 Mar 2021 in Senate: In conclusion so that I do not take a long time, I was telling Sen. Orengo which was the most important part of my communication that although we disagree politically - Sen. Orengo may be happy to listen to this - it is only the ODM party and the sympathizers of the “wheelbarrow” movement who enjoy the majority of this House. view
