• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if we need to empower the Controller of Budget to do more, we can do so. But to stand here on 15th November, 2018, and say, “I support, please give counties more money and let us make sure we have prudent use of resources” is an extreme waste of our time, public funds and our brains in doing this sort of thing which has nothing. We are passing something we do not know or have information on. They say information is power. This Senate has no power because it has no information. What we are doing ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in Senate: We must say no to this, because if we do not do so, Sen. Mahamud is will leave – maybe retire or something – and we will have set no precedent for the Third Senate. The First Senate had a difficult time and the Second Senate is having an even worse time; to try to monitor these governors, and it will get worse. In the end, devolution will have a bad name. The reason a county like Makueni has received so many delegations today – as I have learned – is because when devolution is doing well we get assistance ... view

• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a crisis. When I raised this issue at a funeral last week, everybody burst out laughing. This matter, as Senators have mentioned, has got many dimensions that must be taken seriously. As a nation, we must admit that all of us have failed our children. The minute we take responsibility, we start dealing with the issue. What sort of country allows such moral decadence to the level where we have lowered the threshold of sexual intercourse to eight and 10 year olds and it becomes business as usual? As Sen. Ndwiga has asked, ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: As a result, in the last one year we have not had a case of any person ‘looking’ at a school girl. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: In that particular instance, I discovered that the Officer Commanding Police Station (OCS) and the family were negotiating. Land had been sold and they had agreed to pay Kshs200,000. I was holding brief in a case in Machakos, where they are now offering to marry the child, so that they can deal with the question of defilement. Police stations, my dear Senators, have turned to become shops, where police officers are doing cases on rape and defilement. The quantum is Kshs200,000 and parents are making money out of this. Parents are equally to blame. How does a child become pregnant, ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: there are more. It is not a laughing matter, but a serious issue. Children of 10 years have become fair game. Shame on the men of this country! We have lowered the standards of morality. We buy sweets and so many incentives. We are not even talking about boys who have been sodomised. While we talk about girls, there are boys who have been sodomised. I got somebody arrested for sodomising nine boys in Mbooni Constituency. Let us take action and start with ourselves. What have we done, as leaders, to ensure that we do not have these cases in ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: .: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, would you mind if I request for an extra five minutes? view
