• 26 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this report. I applaud the Special Committee on the Proposed Removal from Office, by Impeachment, of the Governor of Kirinyaga County considering the short time that they had to work. I also applaud the MCAs of Kirinyaga County for bringing the impeachment Motion to the Senate. From the report that has been tabled, it is clear that there is a problem with the tendering process in our county governments. It is important for the MCAs to be educated on how best to resolve issue of the ... view

• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Land related issues are increasing by the day. With population growth in the country violent land disputes are being witnessed amongst our communities. We have the NLC and the Ministry of Land and Physical Planning, which needs to solve this matter without letting people with land disputes lose their lives. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, lately, we had a land dispute in Kakamega where lives were lost. The Samburu and the Rendille people have a right to occupy their land. The KDF is a respected institution in Kenya. It owns vast pieces of land around the Republic which are not utilised. The Committee handling the issue needs to resolve it before lives are lost. The KDF is an armed institution and can handle issues without controversies. They need to respect people who own ancestral land. I support the Petition and hope that the Rendille and Samburu people will get the justice they ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Statement sought by Sen. Mwaruma. Madam Deputy Speaker, this morning, we had a lot of feedback on the COVID- 19 situation in Kenya. The Statement raises some eyebrows on how money is being spent to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. We are told there is a lot of money raised by Kenyans. We are also getting grants and other donations. It is evil to see some Kenyans stealing or misappropriating these funds, which are meant to help our people to cope with this pandemic. What happened to ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: We do not know whether treatment of COVID-19 will be available. I am annoyed when I hear that we have a lot of money going to the counties, whereas counties are not prepared to handle this money and host patients. We are jumping from one system to another. We want to admit we have systems but the systems in the health sector have failed us. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, tendering in our institutions is done by relatives and friends. We should be careful with the money we are going to pour into COVID-19 The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: programmes, because many people are salivating for it. They are ready to take this money. You can hear from the Committee that was going around, what they heard and witnessed. People cannot be getting rich in Kenya with money that will kill their generation. I know they are not afraid of being fired. I am speaking this with a lot of bitterness because if they do not give us what belongs to Kenya, then let them surrender Kenya. view

• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senator for Nandi County to tell us rumors that there is a looming reshuffle in the Government when he is just a Senator like us? He is not in the Executive arm of Government. The rumors are very dangerous. view
