• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I might not have gone to a school of law, but I know that you pronounced yourself very clearly that we should not bring politics in this issue. Why is Sen. Cheruiyot drawing us back to the issue of BBI? That one falls squarely on him. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, he said that we should not bring in the issue BBI and the handshake at this time. That is politics. Let him leave that to the public out there. He is completely out of order. view

• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Most of us get day-to-day running services in this city. Nairobi City is the gateway to the region and East Africa hence the services that have stalled have hit hard and of a great challenge not only to the country but the region at large. 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
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: I support the transfer of functions because we need to continue serving Kenyans. Nairobi City needs to serve its population. If we have stalled basic services like the ones that were transferred yesterday--- Health is a basic need and transport is what facilitates our movement every day. As for revenue collection, funds are needed to run these services. I feel the right thing was done yesterday. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I urge other county governments to come and benchmark with Nairobi City County. If Gov. Sonko surrendered yesterday--- I am not here to talk about a particular character but if ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. In conclusion, I just want to say that we want to see where the utilities, services, programs and the functions that had stalled in Nairobi City County have been transferred to. We want to see them working. We expect the national Government that has taken over these functions, to start working hand in hand with the people in charge so that we get the services. We are here to receive the services and support the people of Nairobi. The people of Nairobi need devolved functions to continue working. I conclude by saying that the ... view
• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Statement on insecurity in our country, and the Statement by Sen. Khaniri. First of all, I would like to start by giving my condolences to the people of Kenya, the people of Vihiga County, and the family of Charles Ombima – who was brutally murdered – for losing their beloved ones. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, every morning, we wake up to the sad news of brutal killings. It has been occurring many times, and we have seen it not only on television, but also on ... view
• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: The national Government has failed us because security lies squarely in the National Government. The structures and systems in the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government need to change, considering the number of lives that have been lost. view
• 25 Feb 2020 in Senate: In summary, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, security is paramount. I support Sen. Khaniri’s statement that we need to be protected. Our security machinery needs to make sure that our people are protected throughout the country. view
• 20 Feb 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Statement requiring the CS to be summoned to come here and react on the same. The CS is a representative of the Government. Therefore, when he is summoned by this House, he will be coming not to enjoy himself, but to answer questions and represent Kenyans in the capacity that he has been appointed to. The failure of “hon. Kimunya” who is the CS for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to appear before the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries where I am a Member--- view
