• 15 Mar 2023 in Senate: In southern part of Africa, there are serious floods going on now in a country like Malawi and, probably, the same will happen to Kenya because of climate change. I support the appointment of this important team so that they can begin their work of changing the country and preserving the climate. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am one of the neighbours in dispute with the boundary with Taita-Taveta. The Constitution of Kenya fixed the boundaries as of the districts of 1992. There is also a law which used to exist dealing with provinces as they were then. When that matter was between Taita-Taveta County and us, we took it to the Council of Governors (CoG) and presented witnesses but it was not resolved. I believe that the great Senator for Taita-Taveta and I can sort it out because it is a matter of public notoriety, fact and law. Clearly, Mtito Andei is ... view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I look forward to the constitution of commissioners of the IEBC and I believe this matter will be settled as soon as possible. The matter has been to court and the court indicated that it had no jurisdiction to deal with the matter. However, I believe the leadership of Makueni--- This is not the only border problem because there are three other counties. The Senator of Taita-Taveta is doing a great job to make sure we establish that clearly by a new constitution. view

• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: It goes by 1992 District Boundaries and that is as clear as day and night. For that matter, I believe we will sort them out. I look forward to participate. We will bring our witnesses. Luckily, we have very old members of our community who lived those days. The maps and a lot of materials are there. I believe we will have it settled as the Senate. The Senate is a serious House and can resolve matters like this, so that any little errors are corrected and the people of Makueni and Mtito Andei can have a smile on their ... view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement about Kaimosi Friends University College. When charters were being awarded, it was not just to this particular university but to quite a number of universities but all of them have not been actualized. University education is important. It equalizes Kenyans and especially children from disadvantaged homes and communities. When a Charter is given, its operationalization means that a Vice-Chancellor should be appointed. It also means that a budget should be appropriated and the status of the university changes. It can start awarding degrees so that a number of students benefit ... view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: There are quite a number of students transiting from high schools to universities. Allegedly there is 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary schools. That means they should also transit to universities. What happens when university charters have not been operationalized and there is no timeframe as to when they will be operational and when those universities will start awarding degrees? This is an important Statement that should be looked into. The Ministry of Education needs to tell us what is happening. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are challenges arising from the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and many other ... view
• 9 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For a long time, Kenya Power has never taken seriously the issue of power outages. Sometimes there is no notice and then power goes off. You could be having newborns in nurseries and a certain hospital may not have back-up systems or the systems may fail. Not every Kenyan citizen can afford backup systems and food in the fridge ends up going bad. Many Kenyans then suffer huge damages. If there is an outage, institutions like ourselves or any other which consume food that has been stored, suffer wastage. Kenyans have not pursued Kenya Power ... view
• 8 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this great Petition. This has been lingering on for long time for many Kenyans. It is a question former teacher and current teachers’ organizations of Makueni have been asking on behalf of their colleagues. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my late parents were first teachers before they went to preach the gospel. I can assure you that many teachers who retired those days have really view
