• 19 Apr 2023 in Senate: and I know he is not a Muslim. He did that because he respects that religion. Finally, it is very unparliamentary for Sen. Sifuna to say that I lied. Lying is unparliamentary language. He should have said that maybe I misled the House. It is not good for him to say that I lied - it is in the records of the House - the students from my county are here and they know that their Senator is an elder of the church. For them to hear that I lied on the floor of the House, I am sure it ... view

• 30 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I confirm that I am the Senator for Nyandarua County. I also join my colleagues in sending my most sincere condolences to the family of Hon. Kulow Hassan Maalim whom I had an opportunity to know. He was a humble leader and a man who had committed his life to serve his people. He was currently serving his second term. This is such a blow to his constituents. It is also a big loss to the family. I ask God to give them comfort to take and bear the loss. I also pass my ... view
• 29 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to welcome students from Giitwe Girls High School. I would like to convey the message from the Senator of Kiambu, Sen. Thang’wa, who has asked me to welcome you to the Senate. Sen. Thang’wa is out on official duty of the Senate. I hope that the girls will have an opportunity to learn. My only word of encouragement, which I normally say all the time, is that education is a major gate to success and prosperity for all of us. The reason some of us have had an ... view
• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for according me this opportunity to comment on this Motion. I rise to support, but before I make my contribution, I have not had an opportunity to congratulate our two brothers who rose to positions of leadership, that is, Sen. Sifuna and Sen. Olekina. I congratulate them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I rise to support this Motion, this afternoon, we have had many Statements from different Senators on different issues and they were committed to different committees of the House. We had the Statement by the Senator for Kirinyaga on the establishment of ... view

• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: be glad to get the answers directly from the CS on why fertilizer has not been distributed to Nyandarua County. Some issues require urgent and immediate answers. Sometimes, for example, questions are asked about circumstances under which a young man called Geoffrey Mwathi met his unfortunate demise. If the CS was able to come here, we will not have the luxury of time asking the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, chaired by Sen. Cheptumo, to look for the Inspector-General of Police, Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) or the CS. I am convinced that we shall have cured ... view
• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: I speak this as a Chairperson of a Committee that deals with five Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) and gets statements for five or six different State Departments that I am supposed to give answers to. I support this Motion. I am a happy and firm believer that His Excellency the President, Dr. William Ruto, has followed through what he promised when he appeared before Parliament, when he was making his inaugural address. He promised that to ensure we play our oversight role on the Executive, he would ensure a mechanism to have his CSs come to Parliament, so that they answer ... view
• 23 Mar 2023 in Senate: Finally, as I was walking in this afternoon, I have been greatly embarrassed by Sen Sifuna, and it is important that I mention it. They keep telling us that power is transient and other many things. Our offices at KICC are just adjacent. Since, I did not have a car, he invited me to drive in his Government vehicle. He told me, “these are the things that you were opposing and you are now benefiting from them.” So, I want to tell you, Sen. Sifuna, the same way I opposed your rising to become the Deputy Minority Whip, and I ... view
