• 15 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to comment on the President’s speech which is provided for under Article 132 and 240 of the Constitution.

Before that, we never used to have this opportunity where the President could come before Parliament and talk about the policies and measures he has put in place to address national issues. This is progressing. At the same time, this particular provision must be enhanced, so ... view

• 15 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if we have an opportunity to amend the Constitution, it is important that this particular Article is amended so that we can question the President on accountability issues. For example, in this case, we can question him on unfulfilled promises that he made to Kenyans when he was seeking to get into this office.

Please, let us stop the propaganda and focus on the job. Let me talk about the cost of living, we cannot ignore it. Yes, I see some attempts, although very minimal, talk about the cost of living. However, it is a bigger issue. It is more than just giving people fertilizer of Kshs2,500. It is a complex issue. We expected to see very specific measures ... view
