• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we might start leasing all manner of things. This House must stand up to be counted. I want to tell you and this House here in the great County of Kitui that the passage of this Motion has made history. This is because we shall remember that sitting in this beautiful Chamber of Kitui County, this House unanimously, in a Motion originated by yours truly, moved by Leader of Minority and the Majority and unanimously supported by even those who are half-hearted, we are going to get to the bottom of this mess and stop any ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, health is 95 per cent devolved. On what basis would somebody sit at Afya House to lease equipment for a health centre in Endebess or Hulugho, Mandera, Loyangalani or Longisa? This scandal must be checked, brought to an end and those culpable must bite the bullet. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: The President has pronounced himself as I finish, that he is fighting corruption in all its forms and manifestations. If there is a case of corruption, this is it. view

• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the distinguished Senator for Siaya County, my distinguished learned senior, that the old practice in the Houses of Parliament is that when a Member sets up an ad hoc Committee, you do not just include Members names. You consult them to see whether they are ready to serve or not. That is what Sen. (Prof.) Kamar and I did during the adhoc Committee on maize. We personally approached each and every Member who served on the ad hoc Committee on maize. Some Members declined membership because they said they had conflicting ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is an important Bill to the extent that tourism, under the Fourth Schedule, is a shared function. It is both at the national and county levels. We start from a point of lamentation; that in this country, for the last over 50 years, our managers of tourism have made Kenyans and the world to think that tourism is about wildlife and the beach. That is what they have been limited to. That is very myopic thinking. When they are marketing tourism, they only take pictures of the beach and beach boys, and then ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Spain, during their archaic days of the dictatorship of General Franco, the fascist of the last vestiges of fascism in human history, it was still receiving 53 million tourists a year. Where did we take the wrong turn? When you look at the amount of tourists that we receive, it does not match with what we can offer, for example, our culture, food, fauna, flora, hills, mountains, rivers and our people who have maintained their culture like the Maasai. Therefore, as a House, we encourage our counties to market themselves. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I remember the scandal of the last County Government of Vihiga. I do not know if you recall when Gov. Moses Akaranga appointed some con person and sent him to Germany. He paid an office for him in Berlin as a tourism representative, and the person was just drinking from morning to evening instead of marketing the county. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this was an abuse of opportunities and resources. When we tried to inquire, this fellow was not appointed in accordance with any regulation or laws. We visited Germany once and when he heard that ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: For instance, the economy of Mombasa has been destroyed by the Jubilee Government, and you know it. Mombasa is dead. Instead of sitting and crying that Mombasa is dying, become more innovative and think of what else you can do because they have killed you already. How do you resurrect an emerging phoenix from the ashes, so that you turn round your economy? They have destroyed the port. There is no port of Mombasa anymore, and you know that. view
