• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: My sister, Sen. Beth Mugo, you will have an opportunity to contradict me. Just keep your cool, Madam. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is nothing that is far from the truth. This House is partisan, and that is why we have the Government Side and the Opposition Side. How can she say that I should not bring partisan politics here, unless you do not live in this country? Mr. Speaker, Sir, my next point is about the debts in the counties. You have been a governor yourself. Unless there is a Marshall Plan and intervention--- view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: What is out of order? view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished nominated Senator thinks he can derail me, but he will fail. Let me carry on. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was on the point about county debts. We have been told that county debts now stand at over Kshs 90 billion. The Controller of Budget appeared before our Committee.

• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House called the Cabinet Secretary for Health last year and he was unable to answer questions. Why do I call it fraudulent? How can this country lease syringes, plastic gloves and the sort of things that are manufactured in Industrial Area? The whole list is in our records. If that is not fraud, then fraud has lost meaning. If we were leasing sophisticated equipment for cancer and other diseases that are ravaging Kenyans I could understand. However, how can we lease hypodermic needles, scissors and gloves? It is a scandal and yet, each county is contributing ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a boulder is not a stone. I withdraw, but a boulder is not a stone; it is a strong word. I withdraw but want to urge--- view
