• 21 Mar 2023 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for this opportunity to comment on the Statement by Sen. Joe Nyutu. The Last Mile Connectivity Project was a very noble program that was started by the last regime to connect all public institutions and villages. It is unfortunate that phases one, two, and three of the World Bank funded projects collapsed while others stalled along the way. This Statement is timely. We need to ensure that Kenya Power gives us a status report of Last-Mile Connectivity Project in all the counties. There are counties that have way below 50 per cent connectivity rate ... view

• 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. He saw the sector moving from 1G, 2G, 3G up to the current level where we are now of about 5G. ... view

• 15 Mar 2023 in Senate: graduated and be employed even if it is not in the CAK but in the sector because he contributed a lot. I remember in the Financial Year 2018/2019, we had an inquiry into the Telecommunications Subsector because there was a lot of monopoly. We did an inquiry. Mr. Wangusi stood with us and the Telecommunications sector was compelled to use and share towers. That is why you saw the cost of communication came down especially in seven regions of our country where the network was very poor. These included the Isiolo County and the northern counties of Kenya including Turkana. ... view
• 9 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to make comments on the Petition by the Senate Majority Leader. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a countrywide issue. When the colonies came to Kenya, they looked for good fertile land across the country. They took over and chased our people away from their good land. There was a report that was done by the Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC). If that report could be implemented by this Government, I believe most of the issues that we are discussing today would be resolved. A lot of injustices have been done against the ... view
