• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was pointing out the coincidence. We are in a free country where, as leaders, we ought to point out the facts as they are. We know in this country, be it banditry or cattle rustling, most of the crimes that we see being committed, most of the violence that we see being meted out, it is indeed driven by political leaders. Madam Temporary Speaker, I said I come from Mathira Constituency, where we are truthful and honest people. It is important that we point and call it out the way it is. We must ... view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. It would be impossible to do that within the next five minutes. view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am saying it is important that as political leaders, we take it upon ourselves that the problem we have in this country is--- view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, given opportunity, I will lay documents in this House, that in 2014, we had the same problem and somebody was arrested. Give me a chance to come with the documents tomorrow, showing that one year after election, we had the same problem and we have the same problem again. Coincidentally, it is the same Governor who was the Governor then. I will be more than prepared to do that tomorrow. view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Well guided, Madam Temporary Speaker. As I go on, it is very important that as a leadership in this country, we stop sharing blame where it does not belong. It is important that we condemn with the heaviest terms, a life lost or violence committed to any Kenyan in any part of this country. For so long, we have fought the menace of violence and terrorism. We lost many Kenyans through the bomb blast. We must say it the way it is. As leaders, we have the capacity to stop this virus but we lack political goodwill. I thank Cabinet ... view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: As I conclude, I take this opportunity to pass my condolences to the galant soldiers who lost their lives as they were doing their work. The Government is doing a lot to control but we, in leadership, must also say it the way it is. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support. view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would want to suggest that we take three minutes the reason being that we keep on repeating most of the things that have been said. If there is that one thing that has not been said, it is done in three minutes. We saw yesterday Members coming for a special sitting and not getting an opportunity to contribute in the debate. They felt a bit unhappy. Therefore, three minutes would be enough without wanting to repeat what has been said. Going by what said Sen. Sifuna has said, experts will have a ... view
• 29 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was a bit worried when you called the Mover to reply. In the morning, I set off from Nyeri County very early to come and contribute to this debate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all of us who are sitting in this House were elected. We know it is important to have a conversation. I wish to challenge us that now that we have agreed to embrace dialogue, moving forward, we wish to see the Minority side sitting, listening and fronting questions when Cabinet Secretaries come here. It is quite unfortunate. I urge the team that ... view
• 29 Aug 2023 in Senate: I recommend that we expunge the name of “Ms. Eunce Wamalwa” and replace with Sen. Wambua, who we know is committed to delivering this country. As I sit down, I wish to say that it is important that we have the right people in the right table so that we move forward. I support. view
• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I think it is prudent that you rule on what Sen. Dullo requested. Looking up there, I can see that there are young school-going children. view
