• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is unfortunate that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has sat down, but when I was moving the Bill, I indicated that this House benefits from the wisdom of two Members who were there in Naivasha when we decided on 47 counties. I thought Sen. Mungatana and Sen. (Dr) Khalwale would address that, so that those of us who were not there, can be guided. Unfortunately, he has already taken his seat. view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, just like the famous inciter of bulls, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, has said, I also rise to oppose these amendments.

• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Our job here, as a Senate, is to defend and protect devolution. The net effect of these amendments is to dilute devolution and transfer functions and powers that have been assigned to county governments to the national Government institutions. I have gone through this Amendment Bill and have got a clear conscience in opposing it. I have further received instructions from the caucus of County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) in charge of water in Kenya.

• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have no idea where she comes from. So, there is nothing for me to apologize over. If someone went to a good school, the word “alleged”--- view

• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we are dealing with an important matter that we are not going to allow ourselves to be diverted by certain sideshows that have become customary in this House. The objective of this Bill has been touted as to provide for PPP arrangements and connected purposes. If you look at Clause 3 of this Amendment Bill, it confers additional powers to the NWHSA; a national Government entity. When it provides additional powers to that entity, it means taking it away from another level of Government, which in this case is the county government. If you look at Clause ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, no sane Senator can stand here and say there is nothing wrong with this amendment that seeks to weaken WSPs, which are county corporations, by allocating those powers to WWDAs, which are controlled by a Cabinet Secretary sitting in Nairobi.
