• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have sat here with patience as I have been in this House for 10 years and yet today, I am the last to speak, even though I was in the House from 2.30 p.m. Speakers need to put in some algorithm because those of us who have been around can sometimes benefit the House out of our experience. I did not sit here to score political points or to speak politics. I took time to encourage the SBC, the Motion which I support and the Members that have been proposed. We were in Naivasha just last ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: The second thing we resolved which SBC should consider and we agreed that a Motion was to come to this House was giving effect to Article 249(3) which requires Parliament collectively, the Senate and the National Assembly, to be involved in the provision of adequate budgets to independent offices and constitutional commissions. This does not need a constitutional amendment, it does not need an advisory opinion and it does not need interpretation by the courts of law. What we need to do because the national Treasury and the entities that bring budgets to Parliament have chosen to take them to ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Minority Leaders in the National Assembly are given greater prominence than the Leaders of the Senate. I would like to congratulate Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot for at least managing to make his presence felt but otherwise, if you are dealing with people who are just reading the Constitution the way it is, the letter and not the spirit, even the Leader of the Majority or Minority of the Senate will not be given space or considered when it comes to matters of protocol. If we believe in bicameralism, this House must stand, must protect and defend its interests. I know that ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: other animals had tails. He looked at the cow; the cow had a tail. He looked at the cat; the cat had a tail. He looked at the other animals, they all had tails. So, the monkey demanded, “Almighty God, please give me a tail.” So, the story has it that the monkey was given a tail but was given the longest tail of all of them. We might want to be the majority, but I will sympathise with Sen. Madzayo if he will be the Senate Majority Leader who will be coming here to explain the Social Health Authority ... view

• 4 Dec 2024 in Senate: and it is not a battle with the county governments. This Motion is about the children of this nation. Kenya is a signatory to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG No.4 requires that by 2030, all girls and boys should have access to free quality primary and secondary education. Unfortunately, Kenya is off track to achieving that goal despite having Vision 2030, which has similar aspirations. The Cabinet Secretary for Education was here about three weeks ago. You do recall him saying that they have not done the mathematics to confirm how much a child will require for training in ... view
• 4 Dec 2024 in Senate: term and the child has to apply for the bursary in the second term. It is as if in the first term he did not have parents and now in the second term he has parents.

There are a lot of tools such as artificial intelligence and technology that we can use to map and identify the needy and hold their hands throughout the education journey. On this Motion, I have heard my colleagues in the other House say that the Senate has ... view
