• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to inform the Senator and the House on that point.; that Narok County Assembly has managed to secure a title deed for the land on which the assembly sits. The rest of the county assemblies are still struggling with it. That is part of the asset management. That is why it will be a query in all the county assemblies. I encourage each Senator to help the county assembly to acquire a title deed to the land on which the assembly sits because they are not supposed to be squatters on county ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Governor shall be 2027, for now, he is the Senator. view
• 4 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and to congratulate the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, for bringing a bipartisan Motion of this nature. Indeed, this is the right time to discuss the state of the nation. Let me first start by sending my condolences and that of the delegation that I lead to the 39 families whose children died in the last one week. The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) has told us that 36 were injured, 627 young people were arrested and 32 have disappeared. Mr. Speaker, Sir, disappearances and extrajudicial killings have returned ... view
• 4 Jul 2024 in Senate: Even though not related, allow me to take this opportunity to send my condolences to the family of the late Joseph Barrage Wanjui. Those who know Joe Wanjui, he was the Chancellor of University of Nairobi (UON). He was a foremost businessman in this country. I send condolences because Joe Wanjui gave me an opportunity to join the financial services world. When I left the University, he never cared about my last name, but my ability to serve. May his soul rest in peace. We shall remember his sophisticated humility, which I have struggled to emulate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, last ... view
• 4 Jul 2024 in Senate: Gen Zs do not want to kill anyone even though we are killing them. We have snipers on this building to kill our young people. They are not fighting flesh and blood, but it is about wickedness in high places; Parliament, State House, City Hall and Governors’ premises across the nation. It is wickedness in high places that the Gen Zs are fighting against. It was not the Finance Bill that was the problem. The Finance Bill was a catalyst. All these started when we decided to force on Kenyans a housing law. It is a good thing that those ... view
• 4 Jul 2024 in Senate: We saw what happened in our neighbouring country, Uganda. They came up with laws that limited the rights and freedoms of persons of that orientation. Uganda has now been denied funding. The Speaker of the Assembly in Uganda is being hounded out of office. She cannot even travel. We do not want the double standards of neocolonialists and we pray that the Gen Zs in America will do the right thing. The arrogance that we have displayed as a leadership and the tribalism that we have been expressing and calling it shareholding, shareholding is nothing when it comes to national ... view
• 4 Jul 2024 in Senate: I have reflected and looked at what Chinua Achebe wrote – The Trouble with Nigeria. He said that there is no problem with the Nigerian land, Nigerian soil, Nigerian air, Nigerian water, Nigerian seas and lakes. The trouble of Nigeria as is the trouble with Kenya is the failure of leadership. It is the cult of mediocrity. It is indiscipline and corruption. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ever since Chinua Achebe made those very interesting remarks, more than 30 years ago, Kenya has never learnt a lesson. I am happy about this revolution that our young people have brought upon us. This ... view
• 4 Jul 2024 in Senate: I heard the President say that he wants to set up certain committees to go round the country to find out what the youth want. Why do you ask for a job when you do not know what the people who elected you want? Sometimes, we can propose a lot of things, and yet, the solutions lie in this Constitution. We have Article 55 of the Constitution, which talks about specific applications of rights with respect to youth. Instead of the President wasting taxpayers’ money with another BBI like circus, I invite him to read Article 55, which says- “The ... view
• 4 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when dry bones are mentioned in a proverb, some people feel jittery. I am talking about the rights and fundamental freedoms that are in the Constitution. Every Kenyan deserves a right to work in public. That is what the young people are asking for. They are asking for human dignity to be observed. Our people want to be treated properly like human beings. They do not want to be treated like animals, as we have seen out there in the streets. Our young people want freedom of conscience, religion, belief and opinion. They want freedom of expression ... view
