• 11 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I did not interrupt Sen. Cherarkey, I do not know why he wants to interrupt me. view
• 11 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is a matter of public record that somebody as senior as the Deputy President of this Republic has said openly that the Government that is running this country is a private company with shareholders. If you do not have shares or they are minimal, you get nothing. Allow me to proceed because these are matters of public record that are known. We should take judicial notice of them. The second concern I had is with regards to benefits--- view

• 11 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not know what about me looks like somebody who attends baby showers. Sen. Cherarkey, you are wasting my time. The most critical concern I have – I hope my time has been paused – is under Clause 31 and 32 of the Bill.

• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Sometimes, perspective is very important so that we understand what we are dealing with in some of these discussions. I will give the House the example of monies we are discussing in this particular Bill. There are four main hospitals in Nairobi: Pumwani, Mutuini, Mama Lucy Kibaki and Mbagathi as the four main ones.

This money we are talking about is not a lot especially if you juxtapose it with the need ... view

County governments might start saying that now that you are retaining your revenue or resources, we are not going to continue financing you to the tune we used to finance you in the past.
