• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I walked in to witness history in the making. I had a chance to see one of the few centenarians in this world. To live to be 100 view

• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: years old is something that most of us will not dream of. Kenya has lost a patriot and a humble servant in the late Daniel Toroitich arap Moi. Today, we are filled with sadness. I represent the people of Narok County and the Maasai nation. We are among the few people who lost a lot, beginning the time when the late President Moi left office. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember when the late President retired, all of us were crying, hoping that the late ole Ntimama will be accorded the same respect and positions that he had. The nature of ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenyans should have emulated the footsteps of the late President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi. My good friend, Sen. Gideon Moi, may have lost a father, who all of us have eulogized here; talking about the great things that he did. I wonder whether the Speaker has ever driven to Narok. If you drive to Narok, you will see the trees that were planted during the late President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi’s era from Mutarakwa to Lari. There was discipline. We do not care about the environment. We have lost discipline. I long for a time when we ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: My good friend, Sen. Gideon Moi, I would like to repeat to you what I said last week, when I was eulogising the late hon. William ole Ntimama’s daughter. Today we may be saying goodbye to the late Daniel Toroitich arap Moi. However, he will never go away from our hearts. He will always be there. Like Jeff Koinange would say, “What a man!” He was a centenarian. I do not know if I will live to be 50 years. I think that we can learn a lot from the late Daniel Toroitich arap Moi’s life. view

• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: May the good Lord rest his soul in eternity. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It has been repeated here that the Governor was not given a chance to be heard, and that is not true. We should be a House of reason. Our Standing Orders are very clear. When a governor chooses to appear before the Senate to participate in his impeachment, he is called upon to respond to every single allegation. In my view, the preliminary objection was what the former Chief Justice, Willy Mutunga, would describe as something that has been moved more as a sword than a shield. Such is not permitted as it opts to ... view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: I saw the letter by the Speaker of Kiambu County Assembly. The governor is actually questioning the office of the Speaker when he comes here and says that there was no quorum. In my view, it is a prima facie proof that all legal procedures have been followed. Unless it is contented and challenged as a fraud, then this House must make a determination based on what has been presented and the facts that have been submitted here by the assembly. I want to remind you that the genius of an impeachment, as was once said by someone, lies in ... view
• 28 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am curious whether we are only restricted to seeking clarification from the witness or we can look at the entire submissions including the opening statements made by the Governor because it forms part of the submissions and argument. That is what I want clarification on, if we are only restricted to seeking clarification from the witnesses, it is good to bring the witnesses back. view
