  • 5 Apr 2022 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker, is it in order for the distinguished Senate Majority Whip to continue using un-parliamentary language and talking about lying. That is not parliamentary language. Secondly, subsidies are not a Government gift. It is budgeted for, and when it is not put to proper use we have the right to question where the monies for subsidies have gone. This money is missing either because it has been misapplied, misappropriated or stolen. view
  • 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, I sat there listening and appreciating Sen. Orengos’ exuberant optimism about his party leader becoming the President. It is a far shot. Sen. Kibiru, my hardworking and bright Chairperson, we have come a long way between this House and the ‘Lower House’ and never trust any promise from them. I can assure you, you will be cornered into passing a Bill of such momentous importance and tomorrow you will be told ‘we have changed our minds.’ We have had so much altercation, mistrust and distrust with that House that some of us have graduated into Thomas from the ... view
  • 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: Before Senator Orengo jumped in, I had I had actually cast no aspersions on my good friend. The only thing I had said in jest is that he tried to join a Party he liked but he was frightened off and he moved elsewhere. He has given an unconvincing explanation on the issue. All we are saying, Senator Orengo, is that we have history with the National Assembly. This Mediation Committee in which I am is a Committee of five- five view
  • 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
  • 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: Members. We can reach a stalemate and bring no report. The two Chairpersons can agree and go to the Committee and find a different scenario. It is possible. Senator Kibiru has done a sterling job as our Chairman of the Committee. Senator Cheruiyot and I sit in that Committee. We have never ever had any misgivings about his ability to chair or his industry as a Chairperson. He has done a very good job. On this particular one, we want to encourage you Senator that you bring a tangible report here, a commitment or a passed Bill then we deal ... view
  • 30 Mar 2022 in Senate: I have never had any doubt that my distinguished Nephew will always be on the right side of history regardless of the weight of the moment. I want to end by urging him that we have something tangible before we make our next move. Senators Orengo, Murkomen, others and I have battled for the last nine years to uphold the dignity of this House against an assault from the other House. That assault has not only been physical. It has also been in the form of fake and false promises that we receive and nothing happens. None other than myself, ... view
  • 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: He rigged to your favour. view
  • 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thought Sen. Murkomen would also mention that we have, in fact, lost two colleagues. Apart from Sen. (Dr.) Machage, we have also lost the former Member of Parliament (MP), John Serut. Sen. (Dr.) Machage was a very good medical doctor apart from being a politician. He ran big medical establishments in this country and helped many people. He used to tell us how he had a cadre who enjoyed free medical services in his establishments whenever they went for such treatments. As a personal friend, I had an opportunity to visit him in his ... view

  • 22 Feb 2022 in Senate: He is the Senator who brought here a Motion that gave birth to the idea of the Universal Health Care (UHC) which has been poorly implemented. When we were sitting in the “garage” at the Kenya International Convention Centre (KICC), he brought a Motion and it was acclaimed by everybody, that this country deserved and needed UHC to protect especially vulnerable Kenyans who cannot afford healthcare. We shall remember him as a colleague who had no known disagreements with anybody. I remember when President Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania came to Kenya and came to address Parliament, Sen. (Dr.) Machage and ... view
