• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for supporting this. I hope that will go to the HANSARD, which is a record of Parliament, that the Speaker allowed the full traditional regalia in the Chamber. Thank you because as the Senator for the people of Narok, I have had an opportunity to defend their culture. I want to assure the good Senator for Nandi County that a “ rungu ” is a sign of leadership. It is not a weapon. It is something that allows and gives me more courage when I am speaking about issues that we are deliberating in ... view

• 18 May 2022 in Senate: The issue at hand today is something that has affected so many Kenyans. Many Kenyans have paid the price. They have committed suicide because the county governments and even the national Government have not paid them. When you have regulations, they have to go hand in hand with the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. If they do not go hand in hand, then I completely support the idea of nullifying them. If county governments require to withdraw money from the consolidated fund. They require the approval of the Controller of Budget (CoB) and send the list of all the pending ... view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me just reiterate on the importance of your earlier ruling. You come from a county, which is cosmopolitan, but originally was a Maasai owned county. There is a difference between a weapon and a leadership tool. view

• 18 May 2022 in Senate: with him all through. There is no single day he took that rungu and hit somebody with it. There is also a difference between a weapon and a rungu. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this rungu cannot be held by anybody else. This is something that has been blessed by the elders and handed over to me for leadership. My own children, wife, family and friends cannot hold this rungu. This is one that no one can even stand and talk. To be honest, when I stand here without my leadership tool I feel like I am naked. When I am ... view

• 18 May 2022 in Senate: issue of the Equalization Fund? We talk about the Sessional Paper No. 5, because we want to see how we can all be equal.
