• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my supplementary question is specific. I would like to know why Mr. Samuel Ong’ow, who represents sugarcane farmers, has not been gazetted. Currently, sugarcane farmers are not represented in the Board. If the Cabinet Secretary does not have an answer, I will be happy to get the answer in a subsequent visit. However, since he is the Cabinet Secretary, I believe he has the answer. view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the challenge we have is that the Cabinet Secretary appears here as a witness, but not under oath. So, the two weeks is what I want us to find a way to follow through, to ensure that he complies. view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Wakili Sigei. The Statement by Sen. Wakili Sigei should worry all of us. We are here as the ombudspersons of the citizens who have elected us to come here. If the other ombudspersons, who are journalists, write about what is happening in counties, you hear statements from county governors that the Senator has bought those journalists. If we do not stand firm against the threats and dangers that our young men and women, who are doing their job are facing today, nobody will be able to report. If you ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: If we cannot defend them for them to give us information--- For instance, today, one anonymous journalist has sent me a clip and said ‘Governor of Narok County using trucks owned by the county government to build his own property.’ If that journalist did not send me that information, how else would I have known? That Statement by Sen. Wakili Sigei should be taken very seriously. This is because freedom of speech, expression and information will all be contained. The distinguished Senator for Vihiga County has stated here clearly that two Senators have moved to court to seek for certain ... view

• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Relations, Sen. Wakili Sigei corrected - must now involve the Ministry of Interior and National Administration to follow this rogue Governors to find out their communication department and look at the budgets, to see which media houses are being paid the most and which ones are being denied. view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: You will notice that the ones that are being denied are the ones telling the truth of what is happening in the counties. We should not just celebrate here; we should take the Statement by Sen. Wakili Sigei very seriously. We are losing journalists. The distinguished Senator from Tharaka-Nithi has clearly indicated that there is a journalist who was killed. If we do not speak for them, who will speak for these young people? Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is about time that we play our role clearly and we stand firm. This is a very powerful House. Kenyans do not ... view
