• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: who only drank Nyayo milk. He saw far and ensured that his protégées, disciples and political children are the ones who are running the country today. A giraffe would mean different things to different people. A blind man touching a giraffe by holding the neck would be impressed by the solidity of that neck, thinking that it is a tree trunk and it would convey stability.

• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: duty, it is our time to shine and the late former President Moi started his work when he was fairly very young. In fact, he was much younger than many of us here. Let that be the challenge that we unite this nation. May the almighty God rest the late former President Moi’s soul in eternal peace. May He comfort the family and the entire nation at this very difficult moment that we are mourning. Rest in peace, the giraffe of Kenyan politics. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to thank and congratulate the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) of Kiambu for bringing this matter to the Senate. You should not feel wrong or suffer a crisis of confidence for having brought this matter to the Senate. Whether the Senate supports you or does not agree with you, this is a constitutional process that nobody should punish you for undertaking. I also want to thank the Executive because they came before the Senate, even though they did not appear before the assembly. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my view is that impeachment is more about political responsibility and accountability than criminality and culpability. Those are issues that would be settled in the competent courts; the High Court all the way to the Supreme Court. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a song that teenage sons and daughters listen to today. It is a song about choices, consequences; the things we live with or the things we cannot live with. When you find time when we retire later on, please google this song. It is called ‘ Pombe, Sigara .’ The singer says that there are some things he can live with, but there are certain things that he cannot live without. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Standing Orders do not allow me to do a rendition, otherwise, I would have told you the things he cannot live without.

• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can live with some infractions of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. Pending bills and the wage bill is a problem across all counties. Every governor is appointing people directly. When we sat with the Governor for Bungoma County, he had appointed many people who were called communication officers. He said that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) had allowed them to appoint people who were personal staff. They are appointing cooks, gardeners, watchmen, drivers and advisors across the 47 counties. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the thing I cannot live with is dispossession of a widow of her inheritance. That fits within the three corners of the ABC triangle; it is an abuse of power, betrayal of trust and corruption. It is unconstitutional, criminal, immoral and impeachable. view
• 29 Jan 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are going to take a vote on the three charges. I believe that there are things that the governor would have been advised to do better without being impeached, but there are certain things--- The purpose of leadership is to shield the weak against the tyranny of the strong, and the governor failed in that case. view
