• 16 Feb 2021 in Senate: Our dear older colleagues, we value your wisdom, wit and advice. Let us say this when you can hear. All of us have matured in this House and are treated as equals because of all of you. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the additional minute. May the good soul of this good gentleman, who will never be replaced and I watched in Yaliyotokea when I was in primary school, and I served with, rest in peace. You have asked for forgiveness. This man has been forgiven, I can assure you. For the good deeds that he has done, ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support the Statement. However, I want to distinguish the issues raised by Sen. Olekina on non-remittance because although non-remittance is an issue, it is not what Sen. (Dr.) Ali was talking about, if I understood his Statement. If I understood him clearly, he was talking about the non-remittance of statutory deductions, where the deductions have been done from the employee’s salary. That is what I understood to be his Statement. view
• 11 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, both the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NSSF) Act and the National Social Security Fund (NSFF) Act treat non-remittance as criminal action.

For purposes of the Statement, it is a criminal action. I hope that when the Committee sits, they can lodge those formal complaints with the prosecutors in those statutory bodies. The non-remittance of money under Article 219 that Sen. Sen. Olekina raised is a valid issue that we have not tackled as a Senate. We have not addressed this issue. At some point, the Chair of the Committee on Finance and Budget can address this issue seriously so that ... view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Of course, we cannot get into the details of what happened on the other side because we do not participate. We congratulate Sen. Wamatangi, the Senator for Kiambu County, for his new position. I am happy because now he will be in the House often. He is going to suffer the woes of mobilizing Members to vote for Bills, like we did for his when he used to run away. So, now you will feel the pain of sitting here to get to 24 Senators to vote. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: For Sen. (Dr.) Kang’ata, he became a Doctor (PhD) and Chief of the Order of the Burning Spear (CBS) while a Whip. I do not know but maybe I should advise Sen. Wamatangi to carry the name tag in his pocket as opposed to the door. view
• 10 Feb 2021 in Senate: However, we raised what both Sen. Cheruiyot and Sen. Murkomen have raised, when the amendment to the Political Parties Act was done by Sen.

Of course, I opposed. One of the people who told me to drop that amendment – I view
