• 28 Mar 2018 in Senate: ) Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and to thank Sen. Orengo for moving it because this is a very important moment in our nation. I also congratulate His Excellency the President and the Rt. Hon. former Prime Minister for coming together. We have learnt our lessons in the last few days and we now know that divided we fall. I say that because that division even came into this House and we fell flat down. I was very impressed to see Sen. Dullo having a hearty chat with the Senate Minority Leader a few minutes ... view
• 27 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No.7 of 2018). As I support, I want to make comments on about three areas. First, it is the issue of county governments’ equitable share which has risen by a small margin of 4 per cent.

If we increase the revenue, we will ... view
• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to congratulate the hon. Senator for this Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill, 2018. I support it wholeheartedly because it has tightened quite a number of loose areas. I want to join colleagues who have said that the experience we have had in the first handing over of the first governor to the second ones had a lot of challenges but this Bill has largely addressed them. However, I would like to touch on two or three areas. One, Part II of the Bill ... view

• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this Motion on the adoption of the 2018 Budget Policy Statement. As the Senate Committee on Education, we went through this document and keenly looked at the sectors that touch on education in the Senate in relation to the areas that are devolved. Two areas are fully devolved in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. One is what we used to call the village polytechnics, which are now called youth polytechnics or vocational training centres and the other is the Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres. ... view

• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have seen a slum grow in Eldoret and that is why I am very passionate about this topic. I saw a tiny slum grow when I was a Member of Parliament in the year 2008. I moved in and started a nursery school, because the children had nowhere to go and learn. But c hangaa and busaa were being brewed around the children. We tried to eliminate it, but because we were creating facilities, we seemed to be attracting more people. Eventually, we had to go to the SOS Children’s Home to look for space ... view
