• 24 Aug 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was thanking the IEBC for having been intransigent. That made us go to the streets to protest and call for their leaving. The Government supported them for some time. They were more intransigent. Finally the whole world realised that there was something wrong in Kenya and the other side came to the negotiation table. That is what I call struggle. If they had not been intransigent, we would not have struggled. We were determined to get an IEBC that would run elections properly. That forced the other side to come to the table and we ... view

• 18 Aug 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I join my colleagues in the concern, but under the circumstances, I propose that we be practical and do what we can. I propose that rather than go to the Committee of the Whole on Order Nos.16 to 20, we should just concentrate on the Motion by the Co- Chairs of the Joint Parliamentary Select Committee, which will not require the mandatory number of 24 Members. That would be more practical. I understand that Members may have been anxious to leave after voting, but there are still enough of us and ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to follow up on what Sen. Wetangula said. We cannot run an education system on populist lines. Money resources are very scarce in this nation that if you spread them thin and if we allow multiple sources of giving bursaries to students, we will be playing populists and, therefore, not serious. If we are serious about higher or basic education, the Government should come up with a single policy of financing education. At the moment, education is in the hands of the national Government. Therefore, it should take the responsibility of financing education ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last time, I think it was the afternoon session of 14th July that began at 2.30 p.m., I had a statement that was to be issued by the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget. Actually, the statement was issues by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. on behalf of my Chairman. However, you will realise that there were two statements. One was from the CS, Mr. Rotich, who is in charge of Finance. There was also another one from the County Executive Committee (CEC) member in charge of finance ... view
• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just summarize to my chair what the situation is. Last week, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. read a statement on your behalf on the issue of financing of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital in Kisumu County. I had sought a statement to be issued on why the county government had not issued the conditional grants to Kisumu County from the Financial Year 2013/2014 up to now, according to the grants that were made. The statement from the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasurywas very comprehensive and gave reasons and the amount given. The statement ... view

• 20 Jul 2016 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I agree with the Chair that we should invite both parties to come to the Committee, in the mean time since they have already submitted a statement to be read tomorrow, we should receive that statement and that statement be part of the discussion so that no excuse is given that we had already submitted a statement to the Senate.
