• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Although there came a time when Kenyans thought Senators were fighting each other, as has explained, it finally bore fruit that we were not able to be “yes” and “no” people, but it was one fight for devolution. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: It is very clear now that the Senate has the highest interests in defending devolution. It is higher than any other person who claims that they do. It is very clear now that the naysayers and those who have been trying the Senate now can reverse what they have been saying about the Senate. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: It is also very clear that the Senate is now a household name in Kenya. I thank those Members who every day and evening always kept the world talking about the Senate. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the use of the grouping as this team or that should now be dropped. We are one Senate Team. It must be said that this victory belongs to the Senate and to all of us. If we have to be grateful, all of us have to, and not just one wing or the other. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: We send a special vote of thanks to the leadership of the country, especially to His Excellency the President of the Republic. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: It agonizes the President when he sees that sometimes it has been misunderstood that the meaning of the one-man-one-vote-one-shilling would deprive others of their rights. That should not be the aim of that slogan. It is very clear that no county should be left behind or lose any money. That is what the President used to allocate Ksh53.5 billion. He said it very clearly that we make sure that no county loses a shilling. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: When we started seeing counties in permutations beginning to gain slowly at Kshs50 million or Kshs100 million going upwards, we realized we were now getting somewhere. Eventually, it was very clear that we all need each other. The populated counties, those with large sizes of land have peculiar problems and needs. Those are the things we needed to address. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: I thank the President and the former Prime Minister, hon. Raila Odinga, who took the initiative and presented the situation as we saw it and worked with the President. By the time we went there, our negotiation was easier. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: I thank my colleagues who came along and those who led the team, Sen. Orengo and I. I also thank the Chairperson of the Council of Governors (CoG) who was there. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am only thanking him for being there. I have to thank him for having been there. view
