• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Government and county governments. We agreed that 15 per cent was useful, so that we could start training and building capacity at the county level. For me, the gains that are coming from this Constitution of Kenya Amendment is the 35 per cent, which is very important for us. That means we are taking resources and starting to balance the development of this country. For us to do that, we must ask the big question to Senators. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Who is going to oversight when we move 35 per cent to the counties? That is why we must quickly come up with a way in which we cause an amendment to make this the Upper House that it should be and ensure there is oversight. Thirty-five per cent of any country’s resources is a very high figure. Secondly, to me, the expansion of Senate to 94 Senators is very important. For 35 percent of the revenue of this country to be shared equitably, we must have 35 per cent of representation inside this House. ... view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: It is very important that we put structures that create a good environment for development to be equitable in the whole country because that was the reason for the Kenya Constitution, 2010, to begin with.

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to welcome Sen. Haji Abdulkadir Mohamed to the House. May I take the first opportunity to congratulate him and I was very surprised that he chose the seat of the father because the father always sat there. Maybe somebody chose it for him.

They just decided chose one person and that is son. I thank the family. We are told that ... view

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: get the copy of the HANSARD to the family because we said a lot of good things about your father when we were eulogizing him. Personally, I come from the North Rift. We knew Sen. Haji as the Provincial Commissioner (PC). Sometimes we joked when he was here and I could refer to him as my boss the PC because that is who he was. He was a man of peace and integrity.
