11 Mar 2020 in Senate:
The members of MUSCO came together to try and join and assist the Government in securing themselves financially. However, from the presentation, it appears that the Government has abandoned them. It is complicit and has joined hands with the people who are trying to create financial insecurity for these cooperators. This is an urgent matter that requires the attention of the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Migori County where I come from, we used to have a cooperative society called Sonyaco Housing and Cooperative Society. We also had another cooperative society for farmers called SOC. However, they went under and ...

I knew Hon. Dori as a nice and sociable person. I got to know him more closely when he had trouble with my party, which was his party. I want it to go on record that the trouble was not based on the fact that he was associating with the Deputy President but on the fact that he was in active disagreement with the party that sponsored him to Parliament.

Fortunately, before he passed on, the Biblical words found in Luke 15:11-32 were fulfilled. He had occasion to reconcile with his party and Baba. So, let it go on record that by the time he left us, there was no dispute between him and the party. They were truly reconciled and he remained a Member of ODM until he left us on earth.

We have lost him at a time when we needed him most. We needed his views on the ongoing political discourse and he was a moderating influence between the relationship we have between Senate and the National Assembly. Therefore, we are poorer as parliamentarians because one of us who could talk across the chambers is not with us any more.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my prayer that God will have mercy on him and give favour to his family. I also pray that the spirit of reconciliation and making up with everybody – including the ODM party – should prevail among us, so that we make up and deal with our differences and have a united House.

10 Mar 2020 in Senate:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Although we should not bring politics in this issue, it is not proper for it to go on record that the charges against hon. Dori were frivolous. There was reconciliation on this issue and he was pardoned because he asked for it. If we want it to go on record and those of us in ODM to explain that the charges were not frivolous, we will miss the solemn opportunity to condole with the family of hon. Dori. I urge that we leave politics out of it because this is not the ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me an opportunity to speak to this important topic. I thank my sister, Sen. Farhiya, for being bold enough to come up with this novel piece of legislation. The BBI report identified corruption as one of the issues that we should all fight. I believe that the initiation of this Bill is the spirit that has possessed our sister to try in her own humble way to join us in dealing with matters corruption.

10 Mar 2020 in Senate:
The book of Romans states that all governments are authorized by God and that all of us should obey the Government. I believe that the first government belongs to God. However, since it is in heaven, the governments established on earth are also through God’s authorization so they must also be obeyed. The Government position occupied by any person is a position of trust. A government position wields immense power, authority and only trusted people of good character should occupy those offices.
