• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was going clause by clause to demonstrate that this is an illegality. We are trying to rewrite the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution through this mischievous amendment. Clause 7 confers additional functions to the WASREB, another entity controlled by the national Government. Clause 10 of these amendments, talks about supply of bulk water in counties and introduces WWDAs, previously, a preserve and domain of the WSPs that are controlled by county governments. The Council of Governors (CoG) made their submissions, which I have had an opportunity to look at. Why do we want to ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do recall when the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, chaired by the very distinguished Sen. (Dr.) Murango, who has approached the Chair, held a meeting to plan on its objectives and strategies for that particular session. The Cabinet Secretary for Water, Sanitation and Irrigation, Hon. Alice Wahome, appeared before the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries in Mombasa. She came along with the mandarins in the water sector. We put it to them that they have been the obstacle, hindrance or stumbling block to reforms in the water sector because they want to continue controlling ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: legislation that are still stuck in the past, that still confers too much advantage, monetary advantage and patronage to the national Government. If we want to ensure that we raise water coverage in our counties, which is at a very low point, and I usually tell people in my county that it is not okay to be bathing in the lake. view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I tell my people it is not okay to be bathing in the lake or rivers. It is not okay to be washing utensils and washing clothes in lakes and rivers. In fact, even cattle should not be drinking from lakes and rivers because they end up getting all sorts of infections, and in many cases, we have conflicts with crocodiles and hippopotamuses and all sorts of animals. An organised Government and a civilized society should ensure that water is provided to the nearest point where citizens need it. The nearest point, most of the time is ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: I want to dissuade the sponsor of this Bill, and I want to encourage my colleagues in this House that this Bill kills devolution and takes power from counties to the national Government. If our job under Article 96 is to defend and protect the interests of counties and their governments, then this is a Bill that we must unanimously shoot down. Madam Temporary Speaker, I reject, and I shall oppose this amendment Bill. view
• 28 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to join you in welcoming the pathfinders who have come to the Senate. I am an Adventist just like Sen. Cherarkey. For me to get to where I am, I attribute it to the church and the teachings of the church and particularly my membership of the pathfinder’s club. Pathfinders tend to be the children who are approaching the teen age up to the age of 18. This is one of the best innovations that the Adventist Church has come up with. This is because it exposes the children to the word of God. ... view
• 28 Nov 2023 in Senate: and teaches them to be upright citizens. I encourage the pathfinders that leadership is not only in politics. You can also be leaders in the church, in faith or various professions. I urge you to continue listening to your teachers and parents because the Bible says that the knowledge of God is the beginning of what? view
• 28 Nov 2023 in Senate: I was testing these Senators whether they were in pathfinders or just scouts. I believe pathfinders are scouts with a religious orientation because they are taught everything that scouts are taught, but above all, they are taught how to believe in God, respect their parents and be responsible citizens. I wish you well. The future is bright. I hope some of you will also become political leaders like Sen. M. Kajwang’ who was once a pathfinder and is now a Senator. view
• 8 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first allow me to congratulate you for your resilience. The Communication being referred to was made at exactly midnight, and that is a sign of the commitment of this House. You were a bit lenient in your Communication. I do not think that such conduct should just be reprimanded and left at that. I would like to urge you that this particular Cabinet Secretary, who uses social media to disparage the House, to refer to matters before the House and to speak of the House in a manner that is extremely demeaning, should be summoned to appear ... view
