• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Chairman of that Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, there have been problems of poor workmanship of the new project and offices. However, those are issues that are neither here nor there. Let people go to Kathwana and operate within the available amenities and offices so that we are able to move. view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: I have never seen Sen. Wafula raise a point of order. So, I was very shocked and surprised. If it were Sen. Olekina, I would not have stopped because I am used to seeing him raise a point of order. However, Sen. Wafula, I was as shocked as you are. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I need you to protect me from the noises of Sen. Tobiko. view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: You shall raise your point of order after I am through. I am persuaded by the interventions that have been made by Sen. Olekina and Sen. Faki. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a Senate, we are the people that are supposed to protect devolution. We need to form a multiagency to go and sort out this matter, is then to spite the people of Tharaka Nithi County. They have come to us, the people that are supposed to defend them, then we want to give that duty to some other team. Despite the pain of having to wait for 12 ... view
• 2 May 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I will also allow other colleagues to comment on this Motion. I rise to support this timely Motion. I do not know why the Senator for Makueni started mentioning where they were when the attack happened. At that time, I was in nursery school. That makes it even sad that I have grown until I became a Senator, but no compensation has been made to the victims of that particular terrorist attack. Looking at the definition, a victim is an individual who suffers direct or threatened physical, financial or emotional harm because of commission of crime. In ... view

• 2 May 2023 in Senate: survived, the victims and those who were injured in the attack. They qualify to get a share of the victim compensation fund. It is my considered opinion that we must first build a nexus between the Kenyans who were in the Embassy and the American Government. As my colleague has elaborated, the attack did not only happen in Kenya. It also happened in Tanzania and Sudan. The target was the American people and their Government. It is not the laxity of the Government of Kenya. Neither is it the laxity of the Government of Sudan or that of Tanzania; this ... view

• 2 May 2023 in Senate: against our country. It is not the only attack of this magnitude that has happened in Kenya. It is not really fair, that year in, year out, people come to visit the 1998 Bomb Blast Memorial Park. Every time we get a leader from the USA and other places, they come to visit the memorial park. When shall we speak about the victims? When shall we speak about the survivors? When shall we speak about those who died? We cannot just keep lamenting every day. We cannot just keep saying that a bomb blast happened. Yes, it happened. Out of ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for according me this opportunity on behalf of the Senator for Kiambu County, Sen. Thang’wa. He is out on duty but just about to join us. I welcome the two delegations who are here, especially those from Kiambu County led by their Speaker, Hon. Charles Thiong’o. Hon. Thiong’o is one of the youngest Speakers in the Republic and he is heading one of the largest county assemblies in the country. I have known him since our days in the trenches when we used to visit local television (TV) stations together. I am very happy that, ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: No. With the same wife. I know that is why there are some jitters. I do not have a different wife in Kilifi. I have another home there. I, therefore, welcome them here. Finally, I would like to encourage them. You always request me to welcome members of delegations from county assemblies because I am a product of a county assembly. I worked at the County Assembly of Nyandarua and I am now in the Senate. So, you can go all the way up. You can come from the Speaker’s Gallery, to down here, the National Assembly, or elsewhere. view
