• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you so much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support the Bill before us and say that this brings us to the real role that we have in this House, that is, the division of revenue. I would like to add that any revenue that goes to the county must be over-sighted by our county assemblies. It is extremely important that as a House, we focus on the roles that our assemblies play. Before I even make the comment on the assemblies, I would like to thank the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority ... view

• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I happened to have been in the first group after the revival of the EALA.

• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. From the outset I wish to thank Sen. Kihika for moving this Motion. I agree with the Senator for Turkana that it is long overdue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the environment is a very important part of life in every society.

I have been involved in a United Nations (UN) ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir,I thank Sen. Mwaura for this Motion to discuss the current political situation in the country. The sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and the only way to exercise it is through the Constitution that we have. It is one which all of us were involved in developing. It took a very long time and at the end of it, in 2010, wedelivered a Constitution that we were all satisfied will govern our conduct and the way we do things in this country. The sovereign power under this Constitution is delegated to the different organs. One ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is my appeal that we need to seriously consider how we carry ourselves as leaders. I appeal to both sides of the House that we must carry ourselves in a manner that will be able to build not only peace, but also bridges with those who are hurting and respect the institutions that we have; the Supreme Court being one of them. More so, we need to ask ourselves how we will ensure that the people will express their free will. Their free will can only be expressed in the numbers during voting, ... view
