• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: as unique as each county should be; and as unique as is every tribe in this country. Our youths can then begin to identify with these areas and places. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. (Dr.) Milgo for this wonderful Bill, and I pray that it sees the light of day. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I start by thanking and congratulating Sen. Mwaura for bringing this Motion, and Sen. Kang’ata for seconding it. Listening to their passionate submissions, I admit that I am one of those that Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko has mentioned that might not deeply understand because we did not experience this period in which the late hon. Kenneth Njindo Matiba lived. It was humbling listening to Sen. Mwaura. I realise that as young people, a lot has been lost, and we do not know our history. There is nowhere in any history lesson I ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: I like the fact that he encouraged and empowered his constituents to buy 12,000 acres of land to make a livelihood out of. Many of our leaders do not want to empower people for fear that they will be done away with. That is not leadership. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: I celebrate the great leader called Kenneth Matiba for his contribution to the youth sports. I also celebrate him for his contribution to empower women through women’s conferences. I think those were the first steps towards gender parity in this country. We have to celebrate him for that. Most of us would not be here if it were not for his first stride. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: As we honour him, let us also honour his family. I cannot imagine what his family went through for the sacrifices he made, and they stood by him. We knew it during his late life. When he was sickly, it is his family that was next to him. So, we should honour his family for the sacrifice. Honestly, I cannot imagine what the family went through. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: I hope that this Motion will create an avenue of celebrating leaders. I feel terribly shortchanged by my education system for not having highlighted the leaders that we have. We are grappling with poor leadership as Sen. Halake has said. We have leaders who have no vision or feelings for the Kenyans they lead. That should not be the case. Here is an example of selfless leadership. This is somebody who was willing to empower the people around him. I sit in this House but do not know about this. That is not fair for Kenyans and the young people. ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: I congratulate Sen. Mwaura for bringing this Motion to light. I wish it is debated at some other forums and broadcasted on television, so that Kenyans hear us. He should find an avenue to use, so that this is highlighted even further. I support this Motion. view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam, Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion. Today I am proud to be a Member of this House. I have a good feeling when I think about the oath that we took. This is the time to demonstrate that we uphold the Constitution and fight for it. I encourage fellow Senators that we have to stand firm against anything against us. I thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights because they invited me to participate in the preparation of submissions. We had some leaders who met us today. It was a wonderful moment to ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: forgotten. They also took an oath but now they want to sideline and overlook Kenyans. That is very unfortunate. They have failed to see the point and insist that counties do not deserve that amount of money. They seem to be deliberately and conveniently forgetting. They fail to understand the Constitution and see the whole point why the Constitution was structured in the manner it is. That is a demonstration of mediocrity that Kenyans do not need. Kenyans are suffering and need the money. That is why money should go to the counties because all critical elements have been devolved. ... view
