• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenyans will judge us. I want to repeat the quote that I started with; that in the end, as Martin Luther King Jnr. said, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends. The friends we have right now are those kids in Ruaraka who have been living there. For many years, that community has believed that, that is their land. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I would like to go straight to our recommendations, which I stand by. I believe that the only way we can get justice is for the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) to move expeditiously to recover the Kshs1.5 billion and put it back into the public coffer. I strongly believe that the Chairperson of the NLC should take personal responsibility like we have recommended in the Report. I believe that the then Cabinet Secretary for Education, Dr. Fred Matiang’i, should also take personal responsibility on ... view

• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a sad man today because we, as leaders and parents in this country, have failed tremendously. Literally we should all be punished for letting down our young girls. We are here because we are preparing to bequeaththe future of this world to them. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: I tried my level best in my early years to address this issue of teenage pregnancy and child marriages. I rescued over 25,000 girls who had dropped out of schools and were forcefully being married off in Narok County. I hoped this would have been carried forward by other leaders to curb this menace. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these statistics, which the distinguished Senator for Isiolo County alluded to, were not provided by our own Government entities, but by the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF).

Carrying a pregnancy to its maturity and preparing to become a young mother is not a joke. We may never be able to pay for what we are subjecting our children to by not teaching them about these things. We need to put more ... view

Each school should be allocated some money for mentorship. We need to mentor our children and prepare them for tomorrow. It is time we walked our talk by coming up with restrictive laws that will deter others from involving themselves in these things. If we do not do so, Narok County will continue being ranked here and other counties will follow suit. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that both ... view
