• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also join hands in welcoming the delegation from Zimbabwe. What Sen. M. Kajwang’ did not say to you is that the Members of the Senate who are advocates, including myself, have represented the Senate in courts for free in an attempt to save costs. I was going to suggest now that Sen. M. Kajwang’ has spoken about the way they allocate resources, that you also schedule a meeting with our “Lord of Exchequer - The “Lord” is Sen. Kibiru - so that we can discuss the question of financing counties. This is something that Sen. Kajwang’ ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is extremely distressful that the young lady and a champion lost her life to a heinous act at home. The Bill by Sen. Kasanga comes into play. However, what bothers me is that when the lady won her medal, the Kenyan Anthem was played but when she died, she now belongs to the Nandi County. It is extremely sad. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Sen. Cherargei, your Statement should not talk about the lady as if she was a Nandi asset because she was a Kenyan asset. As a hero, even the flag should have been flown at half-mast. When those people were not received, there was an outcry that they should have been received at the airport and given a red carpet but they just disappeared into the woodworks. Now that the lady has died, it becomes a Rift Valley affair. That is extremely bothering. view

• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: I hope that the inquiry into her death will be completed as quickly as possible, even though it will not return to life the young lady who lost her life through a very heinous act at her home. I hope we will find a method but strictly speaking there is a problem. In fact, what we should suggest is that some of those people should get security immediately because it is possible that they are being pursued out of jealousy of finance. If you investigate, you will find that there is a prize money involved etcetera . view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Sen. Wetangula whispered that it is the same thing that happened to our marathoner called Wanjiru. When somebody as young as that makes money, their partner or manager becomes jealous that they have to stab them. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: It is sad and unfortunate when we have up to 400 policemen offered to Very Important Persons (VIPs) but our heroes who make Kenya proud are stabbed in the houses. May her soul rest in peace. I hope that the lady will be recognized as our hero and not as a resident of Nandi County or a Kalenjin. Let us hope that something is going to happen but it is very sad. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion on the report on the status of Kenya’s stock of public debt. Unfortunately for my dear colleagues, Senators and the country, we have no good news to report. We are in debt. In other parlance, we would say we are broke. In some case, we would say Kenya is nearly under receivership. There is a famous saying that when you are in a hole, you stop digging. When I stood here to oppose the increase in debt ceiling, most people heard the words “I oppose”, they did not listen ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: The National Treasury has not actually begun discussing the retirement of any expensive debt and that is a very serious issues. The issue is even more serious when 64 per cent of our collections are going to external lenders. As I have said before, on the Floor of this House, our sovereignty as a country is at risk. If we cannot pay debt, the debtors, just like any Shylock, will come for a pound of flesh. The question is, what will be the pound of flesh? I have insisted that we should get disclosures of our public debts in terms ... view
