• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this particular Motion of the Committee of Finance and Budget, led by an able chairman, Sen. Ali Roba. I have looked at the work that this particular Committee has done, and they have done justice to the 2025/2026 BPS. I want to save some time so that our colleagues can join our colleague, Sen. Betty Montet, who lost her husband, and the memorial service is ongoing. I will go straight to the recommendations, especially the financial recommendations made by the Committee on Finance and Budget. I ... view
• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: matters of oversight, as a person who has sat on a watchdog committee, I largely depend on the recommendations and work that the Auditor-General does. If these offices are not well resourced—you know, I heard some people threatening the Auditor-General that if she continues unearthing the things she is on Social Health Authority (SHA) and other Government projects, they will reduce her funding in Parliament.

• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I welcome my agemate, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the Ministry of Water, Sanitation and Irrigation, Hon. (Eng.) Mugaa. Just like the Senator for Nairobi City, it is also the first time that I am seeing him, yet I was the Chairperson of the Committee of the Senate which oversights him. I wish him well.
