• 6 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Temporary Speaker, Sir. Much has been said in support. I agree with my colleagues and especially the Senate Majority Whip who knows how difficult it is to whip Members to get the numbers when there is a vote if we result to only physical sitting has already expressed her frustration. There is no one better than her to express that frustration. Secondly, it is our new reality. The Covid-19 pandemic brought in some other good things like the virtual sittings so that Members participates wherever they are, especially in this period where we are focused more on ... view

• 5 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also rise to contribute to this Motion by Sen. Kang’ata on the fuel crisis. I do not know what we will do in this House in the coming months because we are really focused on the campaign agenda. So, everything we will say in this House, we will most definitely switch to politics because it is the season we are in. It will be difficult to differentiate because we are in campaign mode and mood. Since we cannot break the House and we must come here and discuss these issues, we will have to ... view
• 5 Apr 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for your protection. So, we need to debate soberly and really focus on the issues. It is important that as we discuss this, we know where the buck stops. The fuel crisis is similar to the Covid-19 crisis. It is global just like Covid-19 was. However, the President of Kenya takes the final responsibility. So, when the rest of us bring this issue that the President should take responsibility, we are saying that because we know that the buck stops with him. When he told us that there is corruption and that we lose Kshs2 ... view

• 5 Apr 2022 in Senate: The President finally issued subsidies of Kshs34 billion to cushion people. However, the people had already suffered. Why was this not done earlier? I am sure in his power or constitutional powers, there are areas he would have touched without waiting for a parliamentary law that he would have used to make sure that Kenyans are cushioned from this crisis. We are looking at his legacy as well. He has four months in the office. Does he want Kenyans to remember him for lining up for fuel and pushing each other? The other day, there was a clip where people ... view
• 5 Apr 2022 in Senate: people would say. They want to follow the footsteps of this Government to come back and ruin us. So, I am sad that there are people who think that we are doing well and they want us to continue the way we are. I condemn this issue and hope that the Government has learnt or taken some lessons and that this crisis will not repeat itself. view
• 5 Apr 2022 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Since we are talking too much about the Deputy President, let those who are opposed to him bring a substantive Motion here so that we discuss him. It appears like every person is rising up just to talk about the Deputy President. view
• 9 Mar 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wanted to raise a concern before you leave this Order. My concern is on the delay of Statements. I have a Statement that I issued last year on the frustration of pensioners at the Pensions Department, submitted to the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. It is one year down the line and I have not received answers to those questions I raised or even a report on the same. I would like that looked into by the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. view
