• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I wish to thank Sen. Kibiru for introducing this Motion. Those of us who knew how this country was immediately after Independence know how beautiful our roads were, particularly those approaching major towns. We all remember with nostalgia that the acacia tree was famous throughout the country. It was the trademark as one entered Nakuru. The acacia trees lining both sides of the road formed a beautiful canopy and spectacle. This was also the case as one entered Embu Town all the way to the road towards Meru. There were beautiful trees ... view
• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to join my colleagues in supporting this Bill as read. I hope that we shall make the necessary amendments when we get to the Committee of the Whole Stage. I remind this House and the ‘Lower House’ that the reason Kenyans gave themselves this Constitution was, first, to create institutions. When you have a country that does not respect institutions that it has created, that country is headed to anarchy. view

• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those of us who have been in this Parliament for many years sat on the Opposition benches and listened to Government telling us that we could only get funding in our constituencies when the Government is happy with us. We are reverting to the same. Some of us will never allow that to happen for as long as we sit in this House. view

• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: We created institutions and one of them that Kenyans gave themselves through the Constitution is the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), knowing very well that if we leave it to the Government to decide what to do and where to take resources, that will never be done fairly. Today, we are discussing revenue allocation and, as the Senate, we are not getting figures from the air. These figures were given to us. We sat with the CRA and they showed us why they arrived at the figure of Kshs335 billion. view

• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House must stick to that figure, because first, we respect the Constitution. Secondly, we want to tell this country that institutions created by the Constitution must be respected and allowed to do their job. view

• 7 Aug 2019 in Senate: I listened to the debate in the National Assembly and heard what the hon. Members said. I pity them because they do not know where they are heading to and what it is we are doing to this country. It is a fact that most of the duties or functions have been devolved. I dare say that the success of the Big Four Agenda will not happen for as long we have a National Assembly that behaves the way it does. view
