• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute and support this Motion that you have come up with. If you remember, I think after the Sixth Parliament, the National Assembly then was an arm of the Office of the President. I am told - as I was not there - that every Thursday, the MPs used to go and collect their allowances from the Office of the President. Basically, there was no independence of the National Assembly then. This is the same problem that our county assemblies are facing but this law is going to ... view
• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also important to note that you were in the ‘Lower House’ together with Sen. Osotsi, Sen. Maanzo and I for close to 10 years. I believe you and Sen. Maanzo will look for a Member of the National Assembly to co-sponsor the Bill so that as soon as the Bill is passed in this House, you have someone who will champion it in the National Assembly. When you are in the National Assembly, you do not appreciate what the Senate does until you arrive here. It is important that we start engaging our colleagues. ... view
• 12 Nov 2024 in Senate: governor's office. I hope this will also reduce the impeachment of the governors because everybody will be independent and do their own jobs because that has been a source of conflict. I thank you. I support the Bill. view

• 30 Oct 2024 in Senate: As a farmer, I want to know the exact tonnes of fertilizer that were imported by National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), which was my employer in the early 1990s. We want fertilizer to be given out to farmers across the year because there are farmers who grow potatoes whose season is throughout the year. We also have coffee and tea. This is so that they do not import only during the maize season. As we talk about maize, I urge and ask the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development and NCPB to open the depots because we have already ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this mediated version of the Division of Revenue Bill. It is not lost to all of us, as Senators or even Members of the National Assembly, that the reason we are in this particular situation - although we had earlier passed the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) and County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) - is because of what happened on the 25th and 26th June, 2024, the Finance Bill had to be shelved and withdrawn. This has caused the reduction of the shareable revenue to the counties to ... view
