• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: In my view, even though the service has been transferred to them, the County Executive ought to be able to take it to the Assembly for approval. Once it is approved, come in and have a meeting with them. It should not be the other way round. It should not be the Director-General inviting the governor to go in and participate in an exercise of activation to let Kenyans know that NMS and the KRA have set up this system. That system should not belong to NMS nor to the KRA. It should belong to the County government of Nairobi ... view
• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. Rrespect is paramount in this House. As a distinguished Senator, I am really embarrassed for my colleague, the Senator from Nandi County. I am sitting here not uttered a word and he has the audacity to utter words which are really un-parliamentary. I would like to ask you to ask him to withdraw and apologise. view
• 3 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. First of all, let me congratulate my dear colleague, Sen.

• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I wanted to comment on the first Statement, but I am also inclined to make some brief comments on the second one, which I fully support. On the first Statement--- view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, is it true as we saw in the 411 today, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) intends to stop the voter registration exercise despite a court order, citing lack of budgetary allocation. If we continue behaving like a banana republic by not respecting court orders, then I do not know where we are going to as a country. It is important as the Committee is looking at these issues, to also expound further on whether the IEBC has decided to disregard the court order and stop the voter registration exercise. It will also be important to ... view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, speaking for 60 seconds is difficult. The problem is that we do not have a consistent calendar for these students. Students are in school for two weeks, then sent home for midterm. They are asked to bring laptops when the parents cannot even afford a mulika mwizi. We are demanding so much from the Ministry of Education yet this is our responsibility as parents and leaders. It is time to sit down and play our oversight role and direct. I know some of us here will say we cannot direct, we recommend. What is going on started ... view
