• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: No, the Deputy Speaker has asked the question. I said by a fluke, Arsenal was able to score three goals. So, the point I was making is that we stayed up late--- view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me just a minute. When you were mentioning the names of the delegation from Taita-Taveta, I was very pleased to hear the name of Nancy Mgoi, who is sitting there. When I was appointed the Secretary General (SG) of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in 2018--- view

• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: I would rather just sit down; I really have nothing nice to say as a Chelsea fan myself. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: Yes, I wanted to speak about some of those developments in just one minute. I am extremely proud to hear that she is now an hon. Member, and she is in the Speaker’s Panel in Taita-Taveta. Back in 2018, when I was appointed SG of ODM, she was the receptionist at our party headquarters. Therefore, I am very happy that the mentorship school in ODM is working and producing leaders. I encourage her to continue and maybe next time, she will be sitting here when the current Senator of Taita-Taveta is the Governor of Taita-Taveta. Thank you. view

• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to help my neighbour, the Senator for Kiambu County.

The answer that the Cabinet Secretary gave was that there was no such activity going on. The Senator for Kirinyaga County as I know him, is not a mad man. I am sure there is somewhere from where this question originates. The problem we have with this The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view
• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: Ministry is that you do not communicate and, in fact, it is the entire Government. This Government is unable to communicate. The problem occurred at Karura Forest because instead of the Ministry telling the people of Nairobi and the country ahead of time that there will be harvesting of mature trees next week, so that everybody is on the same page; they waited until we were sent videos online whereby there was felling of trees. We had a statement from the KFS saying that it was them who were felling the trees. The problem is communication. We wake up one ... view

• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, why am I being heckled by people from Uasin Gishu County? We are talking about Karura Forest. I do not even think he knows where Karura Forest is. Can he allow us to engage the Cabinet Secretary? view
