• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I second the very important Statement sought by the Senator for Bungoma. First of all, this is a timely discussion about technology and digital literacy. I know that there are many critics who have said that the laptop project, which never succeeded in the intended manner, was a mistake. I do not believe it was a mistake. As they say, a good idea can give way to a better idea. A good idea can give way to a better one. After the Government realised the infrastructural challenges and the challenges in education that are beyond ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I think that is the right way to go. We must give credit to the Government and its officials for agreeing to fine-tune this programme to fit our situation as a country at the moment. We cannot say, as a nation, that we should not be able to go that direction. Even countries that are less economically endowed than us such as Rwanda are already adopting that process. We also know that already some The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view

• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: I think the attitude that should take us towards looking at this issue is how we should make it succeed. We should not be excited as the Senate to just look for faults but also to suggest ways of making it better.

• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: There is a new song in this country that, everything that has lots of money being spent, everybody just thinks about who looted the money, who was the agent and what percentage they looted. We have become a country of pessimism. This is what we read in the newspapers every day. I think even the President should lead this nation on an interrogation of this argument, belief, mentality and mindset that every big project has been looted. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Being the President of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta has a responsibility not just to lead but to inspire people to work as a team and a nation to achieve certain objectives and targets. If we do not do that, we are going to be a country-- - view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my point is that, as a nation, we just have to rise to the occasion and provide leadership on a discussion about Government projects and whether everything is being stolen. What is going on in this nation anyway, if everything is regarded to have been stolen? view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: I have seen even the discussion about dams and many other projects; the colossal amount of money that is being discussed to have been stolen. Every supplier, business person is supposedly--- view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in fact, I never even talked about the DCI. We are not supposed to believe in any way that everything he says is the truth because we know that some institutions in this country have been used to kill programmes and projects that were intended for certain parts of the country so that the money can be diverted to other parts of the country. As a leader, who is living in this country and who knows how systems can be misused to the disadvantage of others, I am entitled to the doubt that I have, about some ... view
