• 18 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also wish to join my colleagues in conveying condolences to the family and the great people of Baringo County for the passing on of our colleague, the late Hon. Sen. William Kipkiror Cheptumo. Sen. Cheptumo and I were year mates at the university. He was at Parklands Campus while I was at Kenyatta University. We finished “A” Level Education at the same time. I have worked very closely with him since 2007. We both stood in the ODM Party, but he was lucky to be elected, but I lost in 2007. You know ... view
• 18 Feb 2025 in Senate: County Assembly of Elgeyo-Marakwet County to declare banditry as terrorism. We were there with Sen Cheptumo, we spoke to our Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) and met the governor. I am happy that the Motion was passed. As Sen. Osotsi said, we need to follow up on the implementation, so that anybody who will engage in banditry in the country should be treated like a terrorist because we cannot afford our people to lose lives and livestock because of just this small thing called banditry, which is very backward. I just wanted to tell the hon. Members that we ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support the Members who have been selected to serve on this important Committee. This is why you have seen we do not have anything else to do until this particular Committee is approved so that they can sit down and prepare work for us to do in the next few days. I know in the last three sessions, we have had issues, especially in terms of quorum, when it comes to Division. I am urging this particular Committee to give guidance and also advise members that we can agree that every Wednesday ... view
• 11 Feb 2025 in Senate: Azimio Coalition, which is not there now, have moved to the majority side. It is only that Sen. Sifuna is not here; it is simple math. Sen. Omogeni said that after the election, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) had 22 senators, and then we had two more from our sister, Ford Kenya, and another one, so they became 24. Then, after nomination, we are still the majority. If you see your brother getting a second wife, it does not mean that you have a second wife. So I do not know why they are saying that because Azimio was declared ... view
• 4 Dec 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion on Consolidation of Bursary Funds for Equitable Access to Education in Kenya. Most of us went to school courtesy of churches. I was partially sponsored by my local parish church because during our days, in the 1970s and 1980s, there was no bursary, no CDF and no county governments. I support the consolidation so that we do not make it political. There are many students who are at home. There are those who have dropped out of school because of lack of school fees. The families may not ... view
• 4 Dec 2024 in Senate: first day you reported to the university. This was until you cleared the third, fourth, or fifth year, depending on the course you were taking. We used to get an automatic scholarship from HELB and were paid a stipend of Kshs5,040. That would take care of us the entire semester. Our parents did not have to struggle to support us in the university. This is what we need to do. We need to go back to what we used to do in the old days so that our children can go to school without suffering or dropping out. Nowadays because ... view
• 3 Dec 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to comment on the Statement by the Senator for Meru. The majority of the people from Igembe and Tigania depend on the cash crop called miraa. People have gone to school and they are leaders. We request the relevant department to speed it up, so that the great people of Meru continue to get markets to sell their crops. Maybe it is also important that we tell the people of Meru to look for alternative markets, so that they do not rely only on one part of the segment of the market. We should ... view
• 3 Dec 2024 in Senate: know why governors are not partnering with the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) so that it supplies drugs even when they do not have the resources. Mr. Speaker, Sir, today we are going through the issue of revenue. There is a huge debt owed to KEMSA by the counties. I think that is the reason they are not willing to extend more credit to the counties. I thank you. view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I believe the intent of the Bill, originally, was not bad. We had issues in June. Out of the conversation we had about the State of the Nation debate, this Bill is a result of what happened at the time. I want to report to you that some of us went to school because of harambees. view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: If you get somebody who is 45 years and above who is in this House, and even outside there, there used to be two types of schools. There were schools done by the Government and there were some harambee secondary schools. view
