• 15 Mar 2023 in Senate: I knew Mr. Wangusi as a close friend. We worked together for 10 years when I was in the National Assembly as a Member of the Standing Committee on Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) and also as its Chairperson from 2017 to 2021 before we were fired. Mr. Wangusi was a very smart scientist. He was employed as a trainee in the former Kenya Posta and Telecommunications Commission and rose through the ranks up to the Director General level.

These included the Isiolo County and the northern counties of Kenya including Turkana. ... view

• 9 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need your protection from the Senators consulting loudly because most of them have already spoken. I do not know why they are consulting loudly. The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission of Kenya (TJRC) Report should be implemented because it will sort out most of these issues. The term of the leases is also very key. I know the British gave themselves long leases of 999 years. We need to review the leases, so that it cannot go beyond 99 years. As soon as the leases expire, as my colleague Sen. Cheptumo has said, the land should ... view
