• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with my friend that Hon. (Dr.) Kiano handed over business to Africans. Unfortunately, those Africans were from one tribe. That is the point I am making. I have not named any tribe. My friend is belabouring under the good old saying that ‘when bones are mentioned, old people feel very uncomfortable.’ view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Indeed! view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, if you listen to me--- view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will stick to the Bill, but the record must be very clear. You have been listening to me as well, and I did not mention a tribe. I said that we Africanized trade and the Minister then handed businesses to Africans. Unfortunately, those Africans were from one community. I do not know if some Senators here know where the parliamentary library is. If you go to the library and read the history of trade in this country, at one time the founding President of this country spoke publicly against what he saw was going on in ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: with their children on the back literally running in fright. These well-built fellows destroy the wares, throw away the food and carry away some for themselves, and in a flash of a minute, a family’s livelihood is ruined. Such fellows must face criminal consequences, whether it is in Dagoretti, where my good sister was the Member of Parliament (MP)--- We all shop at Dagoretti Corner and other places.

• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: devolution, Nigeria was chaotic and running its economy rather haphazardly. It was the third largest economy in the Continent of Africa. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: The point we have been making to the Jubilee Government is that devolution is not about decentralizing the public payslip. We have devolved the paymaster general to the counties, but do not give them enough money to grow the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this country. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: The Constitution of Nigeria provides that 52 per cent of their annual budget should go to devolved units, which are the states. In exactly 10 years, Nigeria overtook South Africa and Egypt, and is now the largest economy in the Continent of Africa, thanks to devolution. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not see hope in our economy growing out of devolution, the way it is currently structured, because we send to the counties money that can barely keep them afloat. There is no county that gets enough money to build a factory and there is no money that can build a huge industrial setup to grow the economy. Most of the monies go to salaries, some are stolen, while others come back to Nairobi to buy property because of poor governance issues and so on, and so forth. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: This is a good Bill and I support it fully. I encourage my brother from Nyeri that history is history. You can never erase the footprints of history in our lives. We live with it and must learn from it, so as not to repeat it. However, we should not run away from it. view
