• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for according me an opportunity to vehemently oppose this Report that has been brought on the Floor of this House by the Special Committee. I do not want to spend much time thanking them because my colleagues have spoken to that. As a young legislator, I have taken time to interact with Parliament Library. One of the quotes I would like to highlight a quote that was made in 2014 by the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay County. That was the first Senator for Homa Bay under the Constitution of Kenya 2010. The late Sen. ... view
• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: As I speak, the allegation tabled begs the question; how long has the Deputy Governor been in power? The Deputy Governor has been in office for nine months. Nine months ago, the accusers of the Deputy Governor were merry-making with him when view

• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: campaigning and were happy moving around with him. Nine months later, out of issues I do not want to speak about because they are not part of the Report, we are now here for an impeachment. view
• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: I understand where the Senator for Kiambu is coming from. An impeachment is not like any other Motion we speak about in this House. Once you have been successfully impeached – we must understand what we are speaking about – we might destroy the life of a person who could be innocent. Once you are impeached, the law is clear that you cannot occupy another office. view
• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: Page 92 of the Report indicates that one of the charges against the Deputy Governor is issues to do with procurement. Indeed, pages 35 to 43 of the Report – one of the Senators was accusing us of not having read the report –speak about issues to do with disjointed procurement in Siaya County. Section 47(1) of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act states that a procurement function shall be handled by procurement professionals whose qualifications are recognized in Kenya.

• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know he wants to take advantage and debate the Motion. The point I was making which I would like to conclude on is about procurement. Since we are speaking of procurement, if the Governor for Siaya County bought a seat for his deputy for Kshs1.1 million, how much more did it cost for the seat of the Governor himself, in a county as disjointed as Siaya, where people do not have medicine nor access to medication and children cannot get--- view

• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: I said that we must be careful. view
• 26 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot run away from the question. A school is burning and you go for the deputy principal of the school, while the principal is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the institution. How is a disjointed procurement the responsibility of the deputy governor? The person vested with the responsibilities is the CEO, who is the governor. Why then roll the ball to another person? Finally, since our friends have spoken, we must be careful and deal with this matter as the Senate. Our constitutional role is to protect the interest, justice and equity of every--- view
