• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are some light moments this afternoon. So, I want to comment on the road carnages. If you go to a country like Tanzania, our neighbour, people are more disciplined. If the speed limit is 50 kilometers per hour, you will see people observing the set speed limit. If you must stop at the Zebra crossing, people stop. So, I do not know what is happening with our culture. When hon. Michuki was the Cabinet Secretary then and came up with a raft of measures which we all obeyed, speed governors and safety belts ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: It is unfortunate that we lost 11 students the other day from my former Kenyatta University. We also lost a student and a driver from Kapsabet Boys. We lost other people in Silibwet. We need to reflect as a country. The National Transport and Safety Authority needs to sit down, come up with policies or revise the same policies and those who flout the rules, let them face the law. I was in Arusha recently and I could see a boda boda rider having a helmet and carrying one passenger. However, here in Kenya, you will see six or seven ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: and none of them including the rider are wearing helmets. We need to change as a country, so that we do not lose young lives. On behalf of the people of Elgeiyo-Marakwet County, I want to send my sincere condolences to all those who are bereaved during this difficult time. I have an interest in Kilifi and the Senator for Kilifi has just walked out. I wanted to find out from him; I hope he has not been affected by what Sen. Faki has said. I hope he is still safe and doing his normal duties in the evening because ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Report by the Committee on Finance and Budget. As a country, we are in a crisis, especially because of the debt. If you read the Report, they stated that from December, 2022 to the current debt, the nominal ratio to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is 70 per cent from 67 per cent because of the depreciation of the Kenya Shilling. That is a challenge to the economy, which makes it difficult for the country. As a country, we need to manage our debt. The public debt is over Kshs11 trillion. ... view
