• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: when we have proposals to better the lives of these people, they sit down with you, call you any time of the night, to go through each and every proposal that you are bring in. May God bless our secretariat led by Dr. Christine Sagini and Ms. Sombe Toona, who is a legal counsel for the amount of work and dedication they offered our Committee. It is not always easy, when we go clause by clause. Sometimes we may be three Senators in a retreat while other Senators are online on the screen, so we have about five, six or ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when we pass through things, he will say that he missed something and urge us to go back. The fact that the secretariat is so patient and they go through all the changes that we propose shows a lot of dedication and agility to service. That cannot go unrewarded. I hope that the Clerk is taking note and will reward those officers for the good work that they do. With those few remarks, I beg to support and again congratulate the entire team led by architect Sen. Kasanga for such an amazing Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, ... view
• 5 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Motion which is quite timely on the current crisis that we have in this country. I was listening earlier to the Senate Minority Leader equating this House to Bunge Mtaani, where people sit down and lament. I feel that, that is exactly what we are doing. We have a crisis in this country, and earlier on, the Principal Secretary (PS) in charge of Petroleum and Mining equated this to a run on the bank, where when the financial institution sends out an alert that they are running out of cash, ... view

• 5 Apr 2022 in Senate: I was in Turkana yesterday and when we were flying over, we would see people queuing. You would ask yourself what ripple effects this would have on the economy; where people are queuing for over two hours to buy fuel for them to transport people from one place to another. Suppose that was a sick person who needed to go to the hospital, that person would not only die or have their chances of living reduced. What that poor Kenyan would take home on that particular day would be reduced to only ferrying one customer. Maybe when you ferry one ... view

• 5 Apr 2022 in Senate: We know the Senate will continue being empty. When I look around, it is only the two of us here. It will continue being empty because all these distinguished Senators will go out there and seek re-election. Kenyans out there should pay attention and see who is out there, who is not doing his job, who is supposed to be fighting for me to get relief. Kenyans expect a lot from us, but if we do not give them what they expect, we will all be failing. I support this Motion, and hope that it will result into something. I ... view
• 31 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. Wakamba, mwiaseo? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate you for giving me this opportunity to welcome--- view
• 31 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. I was welcoming my brothers from Machakos, and I spoke in Kamba. It is one of the languages that we speak in this country. I think with time, we will be able to appreciate our diversity in this country and stop this issue of neocolonialism--- view
