• 13 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my understanding is that the Committee on Finance and Budget, which is an arm of this House, on our behalf, looked at the same Bill that we are discussing. Their report is supposed to inform this debate, so that we debate with a view of what our Members representing us in that Committee have put before us. Therefore, we cannot continue to debate what is from the other Chamber without looking at what our own Committee has presented to us. It could have been proper for us to have a report from our Committee, so that we ... view
• 11 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support the Petition by Sen. Cherargei, Senator for Nandi County. I knew Hon. Jean Marie Seroney personally. He was a young astute lawyer, who represented not only Kenyans, but also his people very effectively in Parliament. The law which detained Hon. Jean Marie Seroney was passed in this Parliament. It was called detention without trial. Many Members spoke passionately in support of it. One of the people who spoke passionately in support of that law was my own father, the late Hon. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. They said that that law was meant to ... view

• 11 Apr 2023 in Senate: Presidents; one being guarded in Kisumu County and another in Gatundu. We should only have one president. So, Jaramogi should be removed and taken to prison where he belongs. However, the person who spoke passionately about it here in Parliament was later detained with hon. Seroney. As we make laws, let us be very careful that we do not make them thinking they are for others. The same laws you make shall be used against you. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when these people are ordering police to lob teargas against us, be very careful those things can be used against you. view
• 11 Apr 2023 in Senate: Do not be happy that it is happening because it is not good thing being choked by teargas. It is poisonous. It can choke and kill you. This injustice done to hon. Seroney is a historical injustice. I support that something must be done to recover or even compensate the family. It is a historical injustice by the Government; whichever it was. It is by the Kenyan Government, which now has a responsibility to compensate hon. Seroney for suffering for his own idea. He was a prisoner of conscience. I thank you. view
• 11 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale wanted them to be honoured more or less. Whatever the case, the students need to be honoured more because they are not only just leaders of tomorrow, but also of today. view

• 11 Apr 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the delegations visiting the Senate have decided to come here to learn from us, some of whom are in the evening of their exit. This is a very important occasion for the students. I encourage the students from the great County of Migori to work hard. There is no shortcut to being a leader. If you want to be leader, you must work hard. You must also be honest, truthful and be committed to service. I wish you success in your studies. The young people of these days adore wealth more than morals. Some of the young ... view
• 11 Apr 2023 in Senate: I thank you very much for choosing to come to the Senate. This is a great institution. Your choice is not a disappointment. This House is better than the other one, where I sat for about 30 years. We should be an ‘Upper’ House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Mar 2023 in Senate: Yes, ‘youth leader.’ view
