• 4 May 2021 in Senate: I expected this amendment was going to strengthen the institutions of governance so that we do not have a situation where as one professor said, at every election we elect 47 ordinary Kenyans as governors. At the end of five years, we have increased the number of billionaires in Kenya by 47. We want to see a situation where public resources are protected at all costs. Anybody found to have dipped a hand in the public till must face the consequences. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what do we see today? I come from a county where respect for public resources is ... view

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: is to place something in somebody’s hands. These are not his resources but yours. A theft in Bungoma is a theft in Tharaka Nithi. A theft in Bomet is a theft in Kitui. A theft in Meru is a theft in Nyamira because we are denying people resources for development. view

• 4 May 2021 in Senate: In Korea, four former presidents are in jail. One drove to a seaside and leapt from a cliff into the sea and died because they were about to arrest and take him to court. When we look at our country, the richest people in Kenya are former or current civil servants. If you want to be rich quickly, you do not have to run your law firm, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. Go and be a procurement manager in some innocuous organization and procure for yourself every day. We must strengthen the institutions of governance. This country is not poor, but very ... view

You directed, and rightly so, as to whether we are debating the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020 or the Report of the Committee. I think it was Sen. Nyamunga. You ruled very clearly and rightly so, both in law and in fact, that we are debating the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. This House is not debating any report; majority or minority. You can only make reference to the report ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir! Is it in order for my distinguished nephew, the Senator for Nairobi City County, to cloud his argument with sectarian interests and mislead the House on what delimitation means? Delimitation of boundaries of constituencies and wards is first, vested in the IEBC. Secondly, it is exercised after the IEBC has listened to all Kenyans in every county and constituency.
