• 26 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to congratulate my younger brother, Sen. Murkomen.

Last time, when you visited Kathanga Chini, you promised that it will no longer be Kathanga Chini anymore, but Kathanga Juu. I expect the roads to come from Kathanga Chini upwards all the way to Gitogoto to Chuka, and any other place. view

In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Investigate the reasons why there are no Government officers in Kathwana, which is the gazetted county headquarters, despite public participation and consensus.

• 18 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I start by putting across some information that my name is Mheshimiwa Mwenda Gataya Mo Fire and not ‘Mofire’ as you mispronounced it.
