• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion. I sat in the Committee that discussed the conduct of Sen. Gloria Orwoba, MP. What I must say is regardless, we must know that we are all colleagues in this place. We have a collective responsibility to take care of the reputation of this House, and the reputation of its Members. We also have a collective and moral obligation to ensure that the standard of this House, as seen by the public out there, does not become affected in whichever way. It is my observation and ... view
• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we must never forget that people out there look at us as the pace setters and role models. When there are issues that we must discuss, be it on social media or on the Floor of the House, let us not forget that out there, people are watching us debating. We must ensure that we do not in any way undermine the responsibility, privileges and even the dignity that is associated with being hon. Members. view
• 10 Aug 2023 in Senate: Being an hon. Member has a lot of responsibilities. Most importantly, when we have the Public Gallery, pupils and students come here to learn. Let them learn from the best. I believe there are channels through which we can air our grievances. We can differ in opinion and principles, but hold and treat each other with a lot of decorum.

• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Motion by the Senator for Baringo County, Sen. Cheptumo. Indeed, it is time that we, as Kenyans, aligned ourselves knowing that as a nation, our diversity does not matter because it is being used to oppress others. We need to embrace our diversity and know that in it we can draw a lot of strength. I have listened to Sen. Mungatana seconding the Motion. Indeed, it is sad that 60 years after Independence, we are still fighting the same battle of marginalisation. As he rightly stated, colonialists walked out and ... view

• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: regardless of where we come from. Whether marginalised, disabled or from an ethnic minority, you must have equal opportunity. It is high time that we, as legislators, put the legal framework in place to ensure that every child who goes to school in this country, regardless of whether their father is known or unknown, has an equal opportunity. We can never do that if we have a million and one examples of--- view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to add my voice to this issue that has not only been affecting the business of the Committees. Indeed, a lot has been said about the legal implications and requirement. However, we especially on the Majority side have one obligation of representing and prosecuting government business.
