• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: I am on page 30. It was the submission that was made by Mr. Aronyo Kevin. It is just a broad term. One of the things that he proposed is reduction of Government wastage. In my argument, I am trying to express my disappointment in terms of public wastage. I am not discussing the conduct of the President. President William Ruto is not State House. In fact, he is not the Accounting Officer of State House. The Accounting Officer of State House is the Controller--- view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: I have not mentioned him in any of my arguments. view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: Okay. I know it is a bit uncomfortable, but you have to bear with things as they are, so that we move quickly. Madam Temporary Speaker, that good gentleman made that particular observation. That, we need to ensure that we reduce Government wastage. In my opinion, it is not the priority of the people of Kenya now to have the best State House in the region. It may look beautiful. It is elegant and excellent. However, does it reflect the lives of the people of Kenya? Is it the same as to the quality of life of the people of ... view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I was here before you interrupted and then you can guide on whether I am discussing the conduct of the President. Why would the State spend millions of monies so that the President can go and commission a project? I will give an example. For the three times President William Ruto has been in Nyandarua, he commissioned the Ndunyu Njeru-Geta-Kapteni Road. In one instance, he commissioned at the Kapteni side and the other time, he did it at the Geta side. I hear he will be going there in a week or two to commission it again ... view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: I do not know why Sen. Tabitha is eager to have me conclude. Madam Temporary Speaker, what should not be in the content of my speech is the conduct of the President. The dictionary definition of “conduct” is; “a personal behaviour, way of acting, or bearing of a person.” I have not discussed the personal behaviour of President William Ruto. I am only speaking about the office that he holds. So, that is quite different. As part of my argument--- view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: I am a well guided, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: I know why I am being disrupted, but I will still say what I want to say. We cannot keep saying that we borrow because we do not have enough. The reason we keep borrowing is because we, as a country, assume that we do not have enough. view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, now I am on the narrow path of not mentioning anybody. Tell me how a country which borrows money, because we do not have, can have a surplus to give students one million chapatis in a day? If you were to give it a price, for example, of Kshs20 per chapatti, that would make it Kshs20 million a day. In a week, if they were to go to school for five days, that would make it Kshs100 million a week. If they were to be there for a month, that would make it Kshs400 million. If you ... view
• 19 Mar 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to say more than that. I know what that consultation will lead to or how it will end up. Before I am rudely interrupted, let me stop there. Thank you. view
• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: On a point of clarification, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
