• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the people of Kiambu County, I vote yes. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I congratulate all Members of the Senate who have made contributions to this Bill. I also congratulate you, Madam Deputy Speaker and the Speaker’s Panel for the good work you have done in coordinating and regulating debate here. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: It is good to exhale and go through what we have gone through and the lessons we have learnt. To me the bigger lesson is that the dynamism of the debate and the diversity of opinion we have had should not be a basis for us to have enmity. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: Now we have a clear way forward that this Bill is now back to the owners who are the people of this country. They are the ones who first through the promoters made the suggestion. Indeed, there is something for almost everyone. Although some may not have got precisely what they wanted, what is good in it outweighs any challenges. For example, in the area I come from, Mt. Kenya Region, our people have been consistently for more than 30 years raising the issue of under-representation. Somehow, that will be addressed when Kenyans support this Bill. view
• 11 May 2021 in Senate: That is how we started the “one man-one vote-one-shilling campaign”. We believe that alongside other Kenyans we also have something to take in this Bill, when the people finally decide on it, we will be better off as a country. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know the Senator for Kakamega was just about to conclude his contribution. However, he misleads this House and the country when he creates the impression that there is preferential treatment of farmers of central Kenya. He said he would want to see a time when a sugarcane farmer in Kakamega will be treated like a coffee farmer in Mt. Kenya Region. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: The coffee farmers of Mt. Kenya Region have tremendous and multiple problems that we are trying to address which date back many years ago. To create the impression that there is any preferential treatment of any farmers in Mt. Kenya region is wrong. I am seeing Sen. Wetangula in the usual style of coaching, Sen. Malalah, on how to answer and say that there is money that has been given in a preferred way to the farmers of Mt. Kenya Region. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is simple. There is no preferential treatment that is preferred against the farmers of Mt. Kenya Region. The problems and challenges that the farmers of this country are facing are uniform. We should be addressing the problems of the farmers, who largely contribute to the welfare of the country and not create division in between. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 May 2021 in Senate: I am raising my point of order on what Sen. Wetangula has said. I will not go into the details of narrating to this House and tell a story of how the coffee they speak about is being uprooted in Kiambu and Nyeri by farmers who are desperate. Let me go straight to the point that I want to raise, especially about Sen. Wetangula. He has served in this House for two terms and in the National Assembly as well. First, he is out of order for coming to the Dispatch Box to tell this House that we are out ... view
