• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: If you go to Mombasa next to the Port, there are companies that want to build their own industries, but are not being allowed because of monopoly. As we vote for this we have to be prepared and tell Kenyans that the cost of borrowing even locally will be higher. The interest rates locally will be higher. There is no way we will allow the Government to borrow more and then expect the interest rates to go down. We have to be realistic and tell Kenyans that even this interest cap we are talking about will have to go away ... view
• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is sad, but it is a reality that we are part of that generation which will burden the future generations. Although I support I do so with a very heavy heart because there is nothing I can do.

• 5 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a reality that we are living in an economy that is slowing down and people are suffering.

• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was listening to you your ruling as I walked into the Chamber. I was agreeing with you until the last sentence which totally confused me. The statement confused me because when I was here, I looked up the word ‘process’. In my view, a process is like an erection. You erect a building straight for it to stand because you cannot erect it halfway and leave it at that. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a lot of respect for the distinguished Senator for Bungoma County. I believe that he is one of the well-spoken distinguished Senators in this House who understands who has mastered the Queen’s language. However, in this case, I completely disagree with him. If you take the Black English Dictionary, we do erect structures. If I was to read to him--- view
• 17 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Standing Order 75 on the procedure for the removal of a Governor is very clear. Standing Order 75(1)(a) states that:- ‘Within seven days after receiving notice of a resolution from the speaker of a County Assembly supporting the removal of a governor of the county pursuant to Article181 of the Constitution— (a) the Speaker of the Senate shall convene a meeting of the Senate to hear charges against the governor; and’ Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the process has got to continue.
