• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that has always been his stand. We also want to thank the country Kenya for the support that they extended to Hon. Raila Odinga in his campaign. I want to state very clearly here that Hon. Raila was not persuaded by anyone to vie for the position of AUC Chairperson. Madam Temporary Speaker, I had the privilege to accompany Hon. Raila in February, 2023 at the height when we were agitating for several things, including high prices and all that. I travelled with him to Abuja, Nigeria, and by then the conversation had already started on the ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: There are countries which are divided, but whenever they go to the international scene, they come together. I can give you an example of Nigeria, which is historically divided between the North and the South. However, when the national team of Nigeria; the Super Eagles, is playing, even Boko Haram stops fighting. The East, North and South are all together. I think that is the culture that this country needs to adapt. I am not saying those who are celebrating did a bad thing. They have their own right to do that. I know some of the people who are ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: It will not be because some people on the streets are telling us what our next move should be. The decisions that the party makes are processed through the party organs. Let people stop speculating by telling us we are going this direction. The ODM is not a village party. This is a serious party that has structures and a party that makes decisions through consultation. Give us time, we are reflecting. The most important and primary task we have as a party is to continue with the process of strengthening our party. In the next few days, we are ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am sorry for that. I withdraw. I was just demonstrating a point. view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I withdraw the word “boys”. Sen. Methu is such a very intelligent leader and he has been reading newspapers. You have been following social media and you have heard people make statements in the media regarding what the next steps of ODM should be. I made reference to Sen. Cherarkey, who has come out even on the Floor of this House to even allocate positions to our party. In the morning in his contribution, he said that they are going to allocate this kind of position to the party. That is why I was making reference to ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my time is being eaten into, but very clearly, I was implying that we are getting a lot of unsolicited advice from people who are not members of the ODM Party, telling us what to do next. view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: We do not want that advice because we are a strong party that has structures and systems on how decisions are made. Let them give us a break, we are reflecting, and we will make the right decision. We went to this election knowing there were two results; a win or a loss, and we were prepared for both. So, all this hallucination and perception should immediately stop. Thank you. I support. view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, sorry. I did not want to interrupt Sen. Okiya Omtatah. However, I think it is important for us to be told more about this Janjaweed . My little knowledge about Janjaweed is that it is a terrorist group that operates in the Sahel region of Sudan, Chad and Yemen. Sen. Okiya Omtatah, whom I respect a lot and I know he has a lot of information, has said that they have opened an office in Kenya. I think this is a serious matter that even I, as a representative of the people, would like to know more ... view
• 19 Feb 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is just a clarification on Standing Order No.105. This is a House of debate. The Constitution requires that we have freedom of speech in this House. I wish you just give me a minute to explain what I am about to raise. There are points of order raised on Standing Order No.105. I have sat in this House for two years and several months. I have realised that Standing Order No.105 must be used to promote debate in this House. I think there is no crime in what Sen. Omtatah said. We should be allowed to ... view
