• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: Members, which I find it commendable. However, as a new Member in this House, I have realised that at times, points of order interrupt the flow of thought of Members. Some of us who are new here feel intimidated, especially when seasoned Members raise points of order . view
• 20 Dec 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why I think going the Committee way is the most efficient way of doing this because some Members, without wanting to refer to any Senator, have become habitual disturbers who will never let anybody finish anything. It is quite unfortunate. I was saying that in the business world, we form special teams because we want to be efficient and thorough. It can be almost impossible to peruse all the documents during a plenary sitting. The questions that arise may take ages to be answered. This process is time-bound because there is a time limit. That ... view
• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to correct Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. It is not 408 million Kenyans, but 4.8 million Kenyans. This is the right information. view
• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: Thank you very much. It is a point of information as Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale addresses ASAL areas, he should not forget that 52 per cent of Nyeri County is ASAL. view

We changed all the 75 primary schools in Mathira Constituency. We improved the security and the housing of chiefs and sub- chiefs. We also did impactful development and infrastructure ... view
• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion. First, I thank all the Members of this House for the maturity they have shown in the last three months. Being a new Member of the Senate, I expected politicians from both political divides to display some animosity. I must say that all of us conducted ourselves with a lot of decorum.

I specifically thank the people of Nyeri County for overwhelming electing ... view

• 1 Dec 2022 in Senate: It is important to say that the leadership of the House; both the Minority and Majority have also been very effective in conducting the House business. I am very impressed with the way we have regulated business in this House right from the induction, the Motions, Statements and House business that has been brought before the House. However, it is with a lot of disappointment that I have realized that the time dedicated to the committees is a little bit too short for the business that needs to be transacted. I wish that when Senators go to recess, they would ... view
