• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: I agree with the Senators who have said that Kshs1.5 million is not much, but it will help them to do something for their families and invest. That amount of Kshs1.5 million may only help them to invest in a kiosk, but, at least, they will have some income for themselves that will enable them to live their lives without necessarily depending on their children. The reason we have a programme for the aged is basically because we want Kenyans to be independent of their children. That is the only thing that we can do for these former councillors. The ... view

• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: I did not know that I was talking to the sky. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that the Government should take the responsibility of building facilities. We also encourage the private sector to invest, but the kind of people that we are dealing with cannot even pay Kshs1, 000 per month to be in a camp because they are young. There are also nice opportunities in Uasin Gishu County such as scholarship for athletes. We have helped them, but the best way is to have Government-sponsored facilities. If we do that, we will have created a new line of ... view
