• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I take this opportunity, first of all, to sincerely thank you for the ruling which you have just made on the issue of the changes on the Minority side. I have been very uncomfortable for the last three weeks that we have had this altercation on the issue of this leadership. This is because, in my view, I thought that it was a very minor procedural issue that could not have affected our participation as much as it did. It is unfortunate that it brought a lot of misunderstanding. Finally, we have ... view

• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, I also stand to support this Motion. This is a very important Motion. It is something which is very popular in the developed world, but here in our country, people give it a second line. They put it at the back of the business, yet it is a very important council. I remember when I was a young boy, my father who was a teacher knew the importance of planting trees. He knew the importance of trees affecting rainfall. I remember me and my young brother, Raila, used to stay in Bondo in the ... view

• 16 Mar 2023 in Senate: economic theories of the IMF and the prescriptions they are giving of austerity, but those austerity measures belong to normal times. It appears that our Government is giving treatment which is for malaria and they do not realise that their patient is actually in ICU. The prescriptions which should be given should be for ICU and not for normal malaria. I cannot overemphasise the importance of climate change. I know that during colonial times, we used to have a law or a treaty which was signed in 1927. It was abrogated, I believe, by Martha Karua when she was the ... view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. The issue of land is a very sensitive because as much as it is a social issue it is also an economic issue. Land is an asset for the people and it is used to enable people to acquire some little wealth for themselves. Since Independence, the issues of land have remained unresolved. The Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development has in the past been classified, as the most corrupt. When you go to the Ministry and ask for your file, you will be told the file cannot be ... view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: end up to be the losers. The Ministry of Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development should be digitized so that there is less contact and issues like the ones being suffered by the residents of Jamii Bora in Kajiado County will not repeat again. Mr. Speaker, I want to support this issue. view
• 14 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank my friend, the Senator for Nandi County, for bringing out this matter of education, which have been central even during the struggle for Independence of this country. There was the airlifts of Tom Mboya in the 1950s and the early 1960s. There was also airlift of my father, Jaramogi, where people were taken to the Eastern countries when there was Cold War. Normally, when there is a good thing, corrupt people take advantage it. They know it is good. There is enthusiasm, interest and people are ready to commit their resources to support ... view
