• 14 May 2025 in Senate: As Sen. Thang’wa said before he was stopped, we were dealing with two illegal groups and I think we made those observations. The first Mr. Temporary Speaker, was suspended, but there is nothing called suspension. Therefore, the Members of the Assembly were wrong to do the suspension. That was the first thing that we noted. The second thing is that they seem to have noted that because after suspending and crudely ejecting the Speaker, they were called to go to court and they went to apologize. It was after their apology that they came back and did the right thing ... view

• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Please give me one minute because I am a Member of the Committee and I want to clarify two things. That is what we agreed as a Committee and that is what we accepted. We wanted this House on the 17th to come and rule on because if you had accepted, this communication should have gone to Nyamira and the Assembly of Nyamira should have been in the right venue. Number two was that pending the determination of the court cases, the County Assembly resumes its normal operations in accordance with the Constitution. What is the Constitution? The Constitution is ... view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I will be brief. Firstly, I would like to congratulate Sen. Eddy Oketch for such a wonderful piece of law. I congratulate him because creative economy is something that has been ignored for many years. The creative industry enables one to use their brains to build ideas into products, to make the intangible tangible but it has not been recognized in most cases. In most cases, you will find that photocopy or copy other people's ideas because you do not know where to go with your own idea. The electronic version of ... view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: Recently, I met a young fellow whose idea was to use his mother's telephone for a programme that merges M-Pesa and this would be much better for the banks. This is a Form 4 student. I had to persuade him to go and complete his Form 4 first because he is the boy is brilliant; he gives you ideas. In fact, he was babbling with ideas. I told him that when he completes Form 4, I will give him a mentor. The reason was that I did not want him distracted, but how many parents have stopped their children from ... view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: which was a product of Mt. Kenya, but it is now called the Chinese kiondo . Why did that happen? Is it because we did not know it was creative and a product of indigenous group. The Chinese discovered that we were making kiondos and called it Chinese kiondo .

• 13 May 2025 in Senate: Additionally, I am impressed by the incentives for creativity. The question is: who pays you to think? Who pays you to give an idea? Who pays you to nurture the idea? A young man told me that he was in Form 4 and he has an idea but he does not know how-- - I told him to protect it until he finishes his studies. Who will pay such a child, who has not even finished paying his school fees, to grow their idea to something? This is what this fund is going to do. I am excited that we ... view
