• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: It is a paradox that we have a country that is borrowing for everything, including water security. We are borrowing for roads and everything, and then, when we have matters related to democracy, we write letters. I wish the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could be writing letters to foreign countries telling them: “Do not lend any more money to the Kenyan Government,” because the struggle that we have in the Republic is dealing with debts. In fact, if there is a policy, programme or mechanism that is interfering with our democracy, it is debt, because we end up making decisions ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: When you talk about technical support, women’s movement, the fight for democracy in this country from 1992 or even before that was able to succeed because we had the technical support of our foreign partners. Madam Deputy Speaker, if you look at the women movement, including yourself, you have even invited me to train women in programmes you have been running that are supported by foreign agencies. However, somebody now feels threatened that since there is a new wave of democracy and people want to chart their way forward, they want to micromanage everything. There is a very bad behavior ... view

• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to inform Sen. Cheruiyot that what he is saying is true. As a result of the Statement that was brought yesterday to this Chamber by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and also the one Sen. Cheruiyot brought on stadiums, there is a serious conversation going on in the country involving sports, especially football.

• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I was with teachers from my county. One of the things that has angered teachers - and I am sure it is the case in all our counties - is the fact that they are now being told that every five years, they must go for a compulsory course to train, using their own money and get that qualification to retain their status as a TSC teacher. Why would you pick teachers to go through that process yet you do not pick university lecturers, college tutors, engineers or doctors? You make it compulsory for them to use ... view

• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is true. There is something; I do not know what you are looking for. The only remaining post you should be is the Senate Majority Leader. Congratulations! First, I would like to thank the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I have a lot of respect for Sen. Sakaja and the Committee he leads and the work he has done. The issue of labour migration to Saudi Arabia is something that has bothered this country for far too long. In the last Parliament, if someone can remind me her name, the Nominated Senator from ... view
