From the outset, I wish to say that I know hon. Chepkong’a. I have debated him in other forums and found him to be a man who is highly knowledgeable. He understands what a legislator needs and what he does. From his background, I am very happy to stand here and support him. When he served as a Member of Parliament, he sponsored six Bills. Among those Bills were- (1) The Matrimonial Property Bill. (2) The Marriage ... view

• 9 Aug 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of electricity in this country is very worrisome. I sit in the Committee on Energy and it is shameful that when we invited the Ministry of Energy, the Acting Managing Director of Kenya Power Company, members of Rural Electrification Authority (REA) as well as the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to appear yesterday, so that they could address this particular issue on the escalating cost of energy, they failed to appear. We all know that Kenyans soon will start paying Value Added Tax (VAT) on petroleum products. There are serious challenges that surround the whole sector ... view
