• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: Kenya got Independence; treaties that were signed by the Britons in 1902. Those treaties state that the people of Nyandarua County and Njambini area are only supposed to take care of the water and not use it. The Kenoike Dam is also in Nyandarua County and serves to a big percentage the residents of Nakuru County. While we want to say that we are our brothers’ keepers and support other counties because we have the natural resources from our county. It is only fair even as we share the resources that we have. It is not right to ask for ... view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know why Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has clapped loudly. He rarely gets those kinds of accolades because he rarely does good things, but it is okay. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. As my colleagues have said, the movement is important for our learning. I had an opportunity to serve in the Committee that Sen. Wafula will be serving. I served in the Committee on Public Investments and Special Funds (PICSF) for a day. I was sent there by the Majority Whip. I had my fair share of lessons from it even though it ... view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: Finally, I feel it is a big injustice to the people who elected the Senators who walked out. Article 1 of the Constitution states that all the sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised directly or through their elected representatives. view
• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: Nobody was elected to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya to come here and walk out. We are now discussing important matters and the constituents of the Senators view

• 16 Feb 2023 in Senate: who left are not represented in the Senate. An important Bill has been brought by the Committee on Finance and Budget. The constituents of the Senators who left are not represented and nobody is there to speak for them. May be it is time – especially for the people of those regions – to reconsider the kind of people they elect to the Senate. I do not think the people of Nyandarua County would clap for me for walking out of the Senate. As a people, we must agree that it is not the kind of leadership that we would ... view
• 19 Jan 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Bill that originated from the National Assembly. I agree with my colleagues who have said that we need to employ a bipartisan approach to this matter. The Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, Sen. Cheptumo, usually reminds me that when he was the Chairman of the National Assembly Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLAC), he was not very kind to the Senate. As fate would have it, he is now a Member of the Senate and he really regrets that. I would not want ... view

• 19 Jan 2023 in Senate: but we only need to legislate and do the right thing. I agree we should get a member from each of the leading political parties. On religion, I would want to disagree with the Member who said that the whole matter is political. Despite the fact that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will be making political decisions, I think that we shall need religious players from Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you saw the work that was done by the choir in the Bomas of Kenya. They may not have done the political work but ... view
