• 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

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: As a country, we need to be disciplined. I remember around 1982 to 1993 up to 2002, the BRICS, African Union (AU) and United States denied the late former President Daniel arap Moi loans and donor funds. However, the country was doing well. People were able to go to school and put food on the table. We need to bite the bullet. Perhaps, we need to check because if the other day we had the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) in this House, and there is a deficit of over Kshs700 billion, maybe we need to save for a year or ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: There is a lot of corruption. If we are willing- it must start from the top to bottom, we should ensure that there are no leakages. If you as the father of the house, Senator or Governor, you see that there are things that you are doing that are not right, basically, it will go down stream. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to check these things and ensure there is governance and not giving unrealistic own source revenue where they create pending bills. This is one of the reasons why we are suffering at the counties. A county will ... view

• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Affordable Housing Bill. As Kenya Kwanza legislators, there is a promise that we made to the people of Kenya when we went round campaigning for the Presidency in 2022; that we will ensure that our people get affordable houses and Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Madam Temporary Speaker, therefore, that is why the High Court had an issue when this affordable housing levy came in, because there was no legislation in place. As a result of this ruling by the High Court that we have this Bill, so that there is ... view
