Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some of us are not financial experts because our training is not in finance. I am sure that the two Committees will do their best to call for experts and listen to presentations from various Kenyans and separate the facts from the myths, as well as propaganda from the truth. The Committees should come back to this House with information that will help the country. I know that the National Assembly ... view

• 16 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my honest opinion, if you make it 10 days, the impeachment process will end on Friday. It might take a lot of time. We have 35 days in total. If you remove 14 or 15 days, the Senate will still have a balance of 20 days to make a decision in Plenary. Considering the seriousness of what they will be doing, including public participation, I am convinced that you might need to make it 20 days to allow them to listen to members of the public. We only need one or two days to make ... view

• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: comments, he needs to know that we appreciate him for demonstrating a high level of leadership in the manner in which he has addressed himself to this matter. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a person who has tremendous respect for all squatters in this Republic, because I have been a squatter before. It, therefore, pains me to see what happened to those people in Chesumei Constituency, Nandi County. There is no justification for this, whether it was private land that was held by somebody before, or that the court made some decisions. The Government exists to take care of ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As leaders, we must demonstrate maturity, just like Sen. Wetangula has said. Some comments were made by some people who called themselves leaders; for example, they said that some of the leaders should not visit a particular corner, or do something about the issue, and that they will do something to those who will visit those particular places. We must behave and demonstrate that we are above 18 years. As Sen. Wetangula has said, this country has a bad history. What we are trying to ensure is that we live as a united country. ... view
