• 1 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate them because within the short time, they have visited counties, talked to governors, the County Executive Committee (CEC) members and looked at the facilities. Until you visit our counties, you do not know what you have. This morning I received a call from a resident of Uasin Gishu, who was talking in one of the radio channels and asking whether it was true that the County Government of Uasin Gishu does not have an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) facility, which is true. This is something that all of us must start looking at. What ... view

• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: I want to agree with the majority of us that this is a great day. When I saw Team Kenya and Kenya taking a photograph together, I felt that there is something that has changed in this House. I felt very delighted because if there is anything I was dreading it was this weekend. I asked myself: “What will happen to us this weekend”? We were expecting that at funerals and weddings, this would all be anti-Senate. We were expecting a lot of people to talk against the Senate. It is a great day and I really want to thank ... view
