• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: We need to appreciate the role of the Senate. We have to really stand our ground and put our foot down. Funds should be distributed equally to fight our legal battles. There is no reason the National Assembly gets money. We also need money to fight our battles. view

• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a House of record. I rise on a point of order on Statement of facts. Sen.

• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to make some brief comments on the work on the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. Out of all the jobs that this Committee has undertaken, one really touched my heart. This is the one on the issue of former councillors. view
• 1 Dec 2021 in Senate: I have hosted the former councillors in my home. I have also visited most of them in Kajiado. There are also others from Nakuru who came in. When you see the way these distinguished men and women are living, you really wonder if there is any need to become a public servant. You come here and toil, work hard, but when you go, unless you know someone or you are in a position to change the law, you are forgotten. Therefore, I really want to appreciate the Committee.
