30 Apr 2019 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know we are in a different century, but the last time I was in this House, the language had to reflect its dignity. Is it in order for my colleague to say that we should hold some people by their balls? Which balls?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, holding people by the balls is equivalent to „scooping‟. It is a very brutal exercise.

11 Apr 2019 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make a few remarks regarding the Statement given by the „super‟ Senator, Sen. Sakaja of Nairobi City County. Every person who toils is entitled to fair wages and fair working conditions. It is true that our citizens who are desperate for employment toil in ungodly hours just to be paid a paltry amount of money. This is an issue that should interest us because it touches on the employment rights of the young people. I thank the Senator for Nairobi County who has always been an ardent and ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to record my support for the remarks made by H.E the President. The President made very good remarks, that, as a nation we should listen to keenly and support with all that we are able to do. The Address started with the issue of the need for unity. We, as a nation, cannot achieve anything or make progress unless we unite against what is ailing us. We cannot get anywhere; in fact, we cannot even be called a nation if we are not united. We would be called, perhaps, different ...

Therefore, it is important, as a nation and country, for us to discover the purpose for which we are called Kenya. We should unite in building Kenya and tackle the challenges that we face as a nation so that the outcome, as it is presently, and as it will be in future, is one of optimism. It is important for all of us to embrace the spirit of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

“handshake” and unity so that we have a united country where every Kenyan feels a sense of belonging, enjoys being Kenyan, able to work hard enough and benefit from the sweat or product of hard work. That aspect of the Address is very good. I believe that those who have misunderstood the issue of the “handshake” heard it from the President. They should change their minds and support that spirit. Elections come and go but nations must stay. Elections are actually used to renew nationhood. If you do not hold elections or if you keep on cheating in every election, ...

11 Apr 2019 in Senate:
want to work and pay taxes, then we will not have money to fund our projects. I fully support the President‟s quest to have a corrupt free nation. Migori County, where I come from, is a rich county because it has resources. We have the best part of Lake Victoria. Karungu Bay and Mihuru Bay are in our county and we should have plenty of fish. We have gold reserves that make a few people rich in Nyatike. We have arable land in Awendo, Uriri, Rongo, Suna East, Suna West and Kuria. However, there is desolation and poverty in those ...

11 Apr 2019 in Senate:
Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope that as a Senate and as Parliament in this period, we will have an occasion to look into this. Something must be done to some of these characters who particularly kill college girls. They should not be allowed to walk freely. If the law allows individuals to defend themselves to the extent of even killing these people, then I think the State must act in haste and get these people out of society. We all need to rest in our homes knowing that our children are safe and nobody would use money or improper influence ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me an opportunity to welcome the students from Lwak Girls Boarding Primary School and Usenge Boys High School. I welcome them on behalf of Sen. James Aggrey Bob Orengo and my own behalf. He would have been here to welcome this delegation himself, but he is attending a meeting at the ODM Headquarters. He has asked me to sincerely welcome the teachers and students to the Senate. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
