• 15 May 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. For the sake of the success of our counties and the quest of this House that devolution may succeed, I rise to support this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in hindsight, the determination of Members of this House across the board is not in doubt. We have all devoted ourselves to make sure that devolution will succeed.

The ideal situation would be, in the next few ... view
• 13 May 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For the sake of the country and this House, and as one who sat in the Committee, first, I want to confirm that of all the charges that were preferred against Governor Wambora, nobody has denied that they were actually committed in Embu County. What happened was that the governor chose to vex this Committee because it questioned if there was a link between what happened in the County of Embu and the role of the governor. Mr. Speaker, Sir, of profound importance to note is the fact that the governor chose to waive his ... view

• 17 Apr 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the choice of whether this country should send our sons and daughters to contribute to the peace in Sudan is not a choice we can make in the negative. The enjoyment of peace between countries and in countries is a shared treasure but the maintenance of that peace is a shared responsibility. In the 21st Century, boundaries and borders have been erased by common interests so fast that currently in the world, we should be our brother’s keeper, that there is no me without you and that if you are in trouble, so am I. When countries ... view
• 11 Mar 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand disturbed by an earlier comment from the contributor. This is because he indicated that he has a twin brother. As a matter of record, probably--- view
• 5 Mar 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support what has been said by a majority of the Members, especially on the last three opinions; that it is time for us, as a Senate, to do whatever we have to do, albeit, through you as the Speaker of this House to try and cement as much as possible a strong relationship with the National Assembly such that solutions can be found, where possible, internally without a lot of friction. As we are speaking now, there is already a retreat which has been called by Governors and Members of the County Assemblies. The purpose for ... view

• 14 Feb 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. From the onset, I would like to begin by thanking the Senate for appointing me and giving me the responsibility as one of the 11 Members who sat in the Special Committee to look at this matter. Secondly, I want to extend my apologies to the people of Embu County because these people went to an election in 2013 and elected a government expecting to get services from that government. In the confessions of the representative of the Embu people before the Special Committee, we were clearly told that since last ... view
