• 14 Dec 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I requested for a minute to finish a very important contribution and was denied. Why are you adding Sen. Sakaja extra time? view
• 7 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for protecting me. I was saying that this Assembly needs people who can look into the interests of Member States. This is because at the moment we already have a problem with Tanzania. As one of the Members of this House coming from Kajiado County, we are not enjoying good relations with Tanzania because of what happened recently. We need Members who can go there and chart the way forward in terms of how we relate socially and economically with Members States. This House, therefore, needs to look into electing people who have the ... view
• 7 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to also contribute to this important Motion on adoption of the National Irrigation Policy. I think this is long overdue because this country really needs to think of ways of feeding its growing population. When you look at the population of this country, majorly we buy food from urban areas and even import more. This is something which we need to think of because every household in this country needs food and we cannot depend on food imports and yet we have land which we can irrigate. It is ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to also join my other colleagues in mourning our colleague. I interacted with him in the 11th Parliament when he was serving as the Minority Leader in the National Assembly. Hon. Francis Nyenze was a very humble and educated man. He was also a role model to some of us who were young politically by then. On my own behalf, my family and the people of Kajiado County, I wish to send our heartfelt condolences to the people of Kitui County which is also our neighbouring county. We shall miss ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me a chance to also contribute to the Annual report by the Controller of Budget on County Government Budget Implementation Review for the Financial Year 2016/2017. Having said so, I will now point out a few issues that I have observed. This is a very insightful and enlightening Report. We needed more time to go through it, so that as we speak to the citizens of this country, we do so with informed minds on what is going on in our counties. In the Report, in most of the counties, there is a ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate and thank my sister, Sen. Dullo, for having thought of this Motion at this particular time.

• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order No. 91. It states: “A Senator who has used exceptionable words and declines to explain or retract the words or to offer apologies for the use of the words to the satisfaction of the Speaker, shall be deemed to be disorderly and shall be dealt with in accordance with the rules pertaining to disorderly conduct.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite unfortunate that yesterday the Senate Minority Leader confirmed proudly that he is the Senate Minority Leader of this House. Indeed, we appreciated that ... view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance also to support this Bill. From the onset, I want to congratulate those Members who have been nominated to sit and look into the amendments. I also want to urge them to really look at the amendment carefully and make sure that they come up with something that can help our counties. I only want to raise a concern that as we allocate these monies to the counties for the purpose of acquiring equipment for our health centres and health facilities in our counties, we should make sure that ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of my family and the people of Kajiado County, I take this opportunity to pass my sincere heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Governor Dr. Gakuru. I also want to condole with the family and friends of Nyeri County for the loss of a great leader. It is shocking to lose such an important person; an economist, an academician and a person who had the will of the people to serve Nyeri County. I pray to God to give them strength at this particular time. It is not an easy time, especially for ... view
