26 Nov 2019 in Senate:
Having said that, Madam Temporary Speaker, I have also heard some of my colleagues castigating some government officials for not visiting West Pokot, in spite of the fact that they have helicopters and other things. I do not know why officials are being castigated for being unable to make it to West Pokot, but it may not be that simplistic. I remember that in my earlier life, I was also being flown around in choppers. My brother, Sen. Wetangula, has also had a similar experience. At times it gets to a situation where the instructions of the captain of a ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to add my voice to those who are supporting this Statement. Since it was decreed that it was urgent, we plead with you to urgently direct the Ministry to give us answers. If you can give them as a short as one week, that would be hallelujah to us because they also gave us a very short time to act in this matter. There was a rumour out there that this number had some devils in it. There were people who were intending to bewitch Kenyans. You have heard what Members are saying. It appears ...

There were evil spirits associated with this number. We want you to use the Chair to ensure that those who were described as using this number for evil purposes, come to account for us.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are so powerful that if you said ‘Hallelujah’, those people would bring the answer here as quickly as possible. There is anxiety from where we come from. We know that in a civilized society, and we belong to one of them, the value for money is very important. We have spent a lot of money. There is no value for the last six months. It is in good order and test that we get value for our money.

21 Nov 2019 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The failure of Nairobi City County is a national failure. It is something that we all cannot run away from. We are intertwined with Nairobi. When we talk about devolution; if Nairobi fails, then there is no need to talk about devolution in Mandera, Mombasa, Migori or anywhere else because Nairobi should be the shining example of success of devolution. I have heard the Senate Majority Leader propose that you invite the Governor of Nairobi City County. I am reluctant to endorse that, because that invitation will just lead to a baraza. Since the Speaker ...

21 Nov 2019 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, you got me very well. We hold your seat in reverence; we think this is a sovereign House where matters are dealt with soberly. We would not want charlatans and cartels to come and haggle before you. We want to sit as a sober House, capable of making resolutions that are legally enforceable and binding to all parties. My suggestion would be that, as a House, we should find guidance in law and the Constitution to set up a select Committee to deal with Nairobi. We need to look at all the challenges that have been itemised ...
