• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: lift billions out of poverty because of a rural transformation strategy. The same strategy that the Azimio team will apply post the elections this year. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me conclude by talking about regional blocs. We must encourage them and ensure sanity in their establishment and management. The Lake Region Economic Bloc (LREB) is one good example of a regional economic bloc that can work. So far, it has worked. I congratulate those who set it up and run it. They have very good ideas. We disagreed with them when they wanted to establish a commercial bank. We ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this amendment. When Sen. Murkomen made his intention to amend The Election Act, it was a time of heightened political activity. view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: It gave the impression that this was another partisan amendment. People took positions based on who they did not like rather than what they liked. This Senate is the House that has proven that when we have controversial issues, we are able to look at the merit of the arguments put before us. This is a matter that I want to debate, not from the lens of my political affiliation or political party membership, but out of my conviction on the kind of leadership we need in this country. Sen. Murkomen proposes that we amend the law so that those ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, it would be possible, if you came to Homa Bay County, that when you throw a stone it will land on the roof of a degree holder. In fact, in some villages, when you throw a stone, it would land on the roof of a PhD holder, but that is not the case across the country. Therefore, to restrict political leadership to only 3.5 per cent of the population, would be discrimination of a large proportion of Kenyans. In this House, we have 67 Members of the Senate. Most likely we have 150 degrees amongst us ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: someone having gone through a rigorous process coming from Suba, which is a border Sub-county. The kind of suffering that those of us who come from border sub-counties are subjected to is unheard of. When you tell someone from Kiambu the kind of travails you get through to get an Identification (ID) card, they will think that is a different Kenya. If you come from Kiambu, you can go to Huduma Centre at Telposta and within a few days, you get your ID. However, if you come from Suba, Mfangano Island or Remba Island, you are guilty until you prove ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I said earlier that we must distinguish between literacy and basic education. That is where I have a problem with the Sen. Murkomen’s amendment. I made it clear that I do not support the degree requirement but Sen. Murkomen is proposing that we move away from the basic education to basic literacy. Before the Act was amended in 2017, it required a post-secondary qualification. Sen. Murkomen does not even talk of post-secondary, secondary or primary education. According to him, as long as you are able to read and write in English or Swahili, then you can ... view
