• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: You are a brave man. I saw you speak brilliantly about Hon. Sakaja. Allow me to also say something about him. view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Cherarkey, with all due respect, please allow me to proceed. view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to thank everybody in this House, who for the last one year has been deliberating and discussing the critical issues. I am happy that most of our members have come back to this House and are well. In this case that I am not going to indulge myself on the legalese of this issue that has been discussed but I want to give a very short story. Madam Temporary Speaker, if Kenyans can remember in 2007 when we ran for elections, the House was actually in a stalemate. President Kibaki had 100 Members ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Fund (NGAAF) and Women Enterprise Fund (WEF) but you must also legalize the Ward Fund and give Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) money for oversight. Since the law says that the role of a MP is to Oversight but you have given him the role of implementation, the Senate must also be given the role of implementation. Do not tell me that as a Senator, I should oversight the governor but the MP has no one to oversight him- because he is now the implementing officer. The NGAAF money is being utilized for the implementation of projects because the ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: If you see some of the money that go to the county governments, you will be shocked. Even when it looks like a matter that we can give up on, I want to encourage my colleagues in this House. Let us make sure that we participate to ensure that our country is better. Let us persuade our governors that we are not doing our oversight work to try to take their place. I heard somebody say that Senators are trying so hard to become governors. I would not care to be a governor by the way. Some of us do ... view

• 4 Dec 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Chairperson. First, I would like to sincerely congratulate the Mediation team that sat down numerously. We were having a lot of push and pull, but I want to thank my Chair, Hon. Sen. Ali Roba, who has become an elder statesman in the way he has been carrying himself and managing our misbehaviour sometimes. It is interesting to see what we are handling. Madam Temporary Chairperson, if you looked at the amount of money that county governments are getting and what is happening on the ground, and then you follow up to see whether this money ... view
• 4 Dec 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Chairperson, unfortunately, my friend and brother, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale thinks that you become wise, elderly and smart if you are old. It has nothing to do with age. It has a lot to do with the wisdom, the capacity and the ability for this individual to handle complex and indeed very serious national matters. That gives him the credibility to gleefully accept that title. Without wasting a lot of time, I realized that Kisii County has received the amount of money which is very close to what we received last year. When we were having the mediation, I ... view
• 4 Dec 2024 in Senate: What is happening in our country is that, indeed, Kenyans are taxed heavily. The money is being collected and going to the national Government and county governments. However, when you look at whether there has been any effective utilization of these funds, you find that it is only a few counties that have success stories. I would like to especially congratulate the Governor of Murang’a. I do not know whether he is doing well because he was in the National Assembly and was in the Senate. After that, Govenror Kang’ata has done very well. His Own Source Revenue in one ... view
