• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: When the Cabinet Secretary is traveling out of the country and he has how many people accompanying him. He has a private jet, goes to Dubai, books one of those luxury hotels and comes back to Nairobi with the nine people he took in a private jet. You assume that the Gen Z do not know. These days they track you. They can know which private jet you took, where it went and how it came back. Many of us are worried either because of history or what has happened. We have a lot of money and own so much ... view

• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this very important amendment Bill on what has bedeviled our country for a very long time. I first congratulate the Senate Majority Leader and the leadership on our side for coming up with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Amendment Bill document. This is a bipartisan document. I have listened to my colleagues make their contributions. I believe all of us agree on the basics. The small differences and variations will most probably come in when we are having the sitting of the full House. I ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: about sharing, give and take and maintaining and sustaining a country that has come from adversity, which is going to move on to its great potential. The National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) Report is a good document. It deals with delimitation of boundaries and the commissioners who are going to be managing this Commission. That includes the chairperson and members who exist. It deals with how these people are going to be selected and the structure. One of the issues that I would want us to look at in this House, is how we begin to handle the clamor and request ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: 215 primary schools and all sorts of things. With that amount of money there is no way he is going to manage to run his constituency. Madam Temporary Speaker, my argument is that we be magnanimous and look at these options. If the people of Bobasi were to be given one constituency, the people of South Mugirango are given another, for me Kisii County would be sorted. Kisii County does not need an extra county. The resources would come, and they would substitute whatever else the county government would do. Indeed, if the resources that the Kisii County Government are ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: because we have done well as a country. The only blemish we have constantly had is that every five years we are having disputes about our elections. I believe that we should be able to fix our elections. On the presidency, every five years there is a disagreement between the president and his deputy and all these individuals. We need to reduce our political disagreements, which are not based on any ideology, other than the fact that we are fighting over whatever little our country can give us. That disrupts our economic programs. How I wish that members of the ... view
• 23 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to reiterate what my brother Osotsi has raised about the important matters affecting our environment, including the issues of flooding. The reality on the ground is that we do not know whether we will have a typhoon or whether we will have excessive amounts of rainfall and all that. I think it is something that this House should be engaged in. Even when my colleagues have discussed issues about what is supposed to be done in relation to global warming and the challenges coming out of it, I feel that our country is ... view

• 23 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope this House can proactively engage itself and set up a committee. I would recommend that it stays in office the whole final year even if it means we draft legislation on that. I think it is an important part that in our country we now need to have an emergency committee, if possible, which will be given assignments, not an emergency when we are having floods only. You notice we have people who die because of these emergencies whether it is the building collapsing or vehicles running and ramming into each other. So, these ... view
