• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Members listened keenly because the distinguished Senator from Nyandarua led the House to where we should resolve this problem. When a county that has two assemblies, we should first ask ourselves what our role as a Senate is. This is because we are the House that is supposed to protect devolution. When you have two assemblies, then the issues of lack of accountability or fiduciary responsibility arise. I have taken some time and consulted with the area Senator and he has explained to me where the problem is. We have two assemblies. There is one with 12 members and the ... view

• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Constitution to summon the governor to appear alongside the CECM, Finance. At the same time, we must also summon the CoB, so that we bring sanity--- view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the statement by Sen. Mumma on the need to protect data in this country. It is surprising that at a time when data is the most expensive asset that anyone can have, we are not protecting the poor people who cannot afford buying a phone and not have to register it. The most important thing we need to do is to ask ourselves whether it is imperative for this House and the National Assembly to re-amend the Data Protection Act, be specific and also intentional when it comes to the issue of guarding. ... view
• 8 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to seek your indulgence with my vocals today. Let me begin by saying that I oppose this Motion. I oppose it because it takes us back into the 20th Century, where we defined the rich and the poor based on their ability to afford education. In the 21st Century, we need to be thinking about how to make education absolutely free for our children. I long for the days when the former President, now late, President Mwai Kibaki, abolished all tuition fees and all school fees in schools, thus increasing enrolment in ... view
• 8 May 2025 in Senate: schools as supplementary capitation to facilitate the achievement of free secondary education. That is also completely misguided. If an agency is able to allocate money to students to get education, it will be very difficult for that agency to transfer that information to the Ministry of Education, so that the Ministry of Education can now take that money and consolidate it to be able to fund students. The only thing which I think the distinguished Senator really saw it fit, and I support that, is where the Ministry of Education can be able to calculate the cost of education per ... view
• 8 May 2025 in Senate: passing the budget, will pass a budget that does not have NG-CDF? You know, there are things that we should waste our time discussing, and there are things that we should just give up and say, it is time for us to now click the reboot button and look at our policy direction when it comes to education. Are we able to change? My argument is very simple. We are not going to be able to consolidate these bursaries. A Motion in this House will not be able to be implemented because you will be fighting left, right, and centre. ... view
• 8 May 2025 in Senate: make sure that all those children in primary school, particularly in those counties where they still need affirmative action, are catered for? Today, Madam Speaker, if you go to Narok South, you will be shocked. There are places where children are still learning in mud-thatched houses. We need to first of all, remove those classrooms, create a good environment and build those schools and employ more teachers. After that, we send the learners there, allocate more money to the Ministry of Education or to county governments and ensure if it is Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) or primary school, it ... view
• 10 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a House of union. I always say that this House unites the entire country.
