• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mandago can inform me. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mandago has been a governor and I think he needs to be honest to himself. I cannot substantiate the obvious. I have heard that from several governors who have complained about that office that nothing moves until the hands of some people are greased. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on this one, I cannot substantiate and withdraw because that is obvious. I am saying this because my role under Article 96 of the Constitution is to protect the counties.

• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Moi University, being one of our premier universities in this country. However, the status of Moi University should inform us, as politicians, not to interfere with education institutions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we remember one Prof. Laban Ayiro, who is my constituent and a very renown Professor who wanted to turn around Moi University. However, he was ejected from that university because of tribalism. Now, the Professor has converted Daystar University to be the Kenyan equivalent of Harvard University.That tells you that as leaders, we should stop interfering with the running of our universities. We should make them purely academic without ... view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Uasin Gishu should first of all declare conflict of interest in this matter. view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: When the good Professor was being ejected from the university, he was the Governor of Uasin Gishu and was among the politicians who ejected the good Professor from that university. Prof. Laban Ayiro is my constituent. I have a right to defend him. view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: I am ready to defend him anywhere, including on the moon. view
