• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Assembly come from. Sometimes you may think they come from the moon. When people are opposed to resources being taken to the counties, you are left to wonder where they come from. Do they come from the counties? view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should go out there and tell Kenyans the type of Members of the National Assembly we have. Kenyans should know where the problem is. There is not much to be done at the national level because all functions were devolved to the counties where people live. Why should the national Government retain a chunk of the national resources when counties are suffering? view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want my colleagues to hear this. In 1966 when then Senate was killed, the first strategy was to deny regions funding. You may recall that Ronald Ngala from the Coast--- view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first Senate was strategically murdered by refusing resources to go to the majimbo. Again, this time round, there is a strategy to kill the Senate and devolution. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am Sen. Ndwiga not Ndwigwa. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for this opportunity. It is thrilling that the Senate has decided to move out of Nairobi and go to the people. For those of us who remember, when we set to create the Constitution 2010, the most exciting Chapter in it was devolution. Those of us who were privileged to be there at that time fought street battles so as to get to the change of the Constitution. This fight was all because of resource allocation. Today, I am saddened because despite the fact that we got a new Constitution and devolution, which has run ... view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am sad because as the budget was being read today, the negotiations on the division of revenue had collapsed in the morning. In fact, even that reading of the budget was illegal. I have been told that, actually, the CS for the National Treasury and Planning indicated that they are allocating Kshs318 billion to the counties. He goes and allocates, and they know very well that it is illegal to do that before an agreement has been reached by the two Houses. There is some kind of madness going on around this country. I think we ... view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to dwell on that right now. The Motion on the Floor is about the Senate conducting its sittings in Kitui. I am, indeed, very happy that we are doing this at a time when my friend, Sen. Wambua, is the Senator for Kitui. Just like my colleagues have said, he exemplifies what leadership is. It is what, indeed, we want to see in leaders; leaders who mix with everybody and accommodate the views and feelings of other people. That is what leadership is all about. view
• 13 Jun 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am hopeful that when we go to Kitui, our colleagues will learn many things about us. I am talking about “us” because Kitui County happens to be my southern neighbour. We have a lot of issues in common with the people of Kitui. In fact, the people of Kitui are our biggest trading partners. I will, therefore, be the very first one to vote that we go to Kitui and have sittings there. view
