• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: For the record of the public, when we joined the University of Nairobi, Sen. Kang’ata was the SONU Vice-Chairperson, and he led a very serious demonstration whereby we came up to Parliament to see people like Sen Orengo; these were the guys we were looking up to. As a result of that, Sen. Kang’ata was then expelled. I am sure Sen. Kang’ata is very sympathetic to the situation in Makueni, because Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. came through for him at that time. Suffice to note that we went to campaign with him as a councillor in Murang’a, so I have ... view
• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really want to beg my colleagues, like Sen. Orengo attempted to last time, I want to make the last attempt, to request my colleagues that we have a chance. Those of us from Jubilee and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), people of Kenya respected us and elected Uhuru Kenyatta to be the President. He is not the President of the 28 of us only. The people of Kenya respected us and gave the former Prime Minister a large number of votes and he almost became the president. He is a leader for all of us. I ... view
• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I recognise Sen. Moses Masika Wetangula as the bona fide party leader of FORD-Kenya. I want that to go on record. view
• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: The reason I mentioned Jubilee and ODM is because the Bible says- “To whom much is given, much is expected” Mr. Speaker, Sir, because it is us who were given more votes, the minorities, marginalized and the corners of this country that gave us these votes for us to lead, expect much from us. The Bible says in Luke 6:32-33- “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?” I know a whole region or part of the country is suffering. We must demonstrate our love as the Senate, to find a lasting solution. I have ... view
• 4 Aug 2020 in Senate: We are out! view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in line with what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said, there is something that has been bothering me for some time. When the Senate is dealing with very important issues like impeachment, division of revenue formula; things that the country would like to know our position and the record of the House needs to reflect the position of most of the Senators, we have always reduced ourselves to two or three minutes, with five or six people speaking. Why do we not for once, when we have such a very important debate, take the reasonable time for ... view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: If I look at parliaments in other countries such as the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), people sit even up to midnight for them to canvass the issues, and for their people to follow those issues. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, going forward, following what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said, I request for your direction. Parliament is about debate, and as the Senate, we should change this culture and create enough time to explain ourselves on the issues that we are deciding for this country. We should give future generations a proper record of what we really thought about certain issues in this Chamber. I thank you. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, the issue before you is very simple. There was a Motion that was proposed by Sen. Khaniri and it was passed by this House. It was passed that the Senate will only adjourn if the business in the Order Paper is completed. Anyone desirous of cutting the debate time should use the Standing Orders. Anyone questioning the legal framework that governs our stay here should know that we are governed by the Standing Orders. Let us not be coarse just because we are losing a debate. Let us not cut short the procedures of this House. That ... view
