• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, protect us from the hon. Members here. They are turning this House to a market. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Government has put in money year after year for KMC to do its work. One of the biggest corruption cases started with KMC because they used to send their officers to buy livestock from our people in North Eastern. There are cases where if a cow cost Kshs10,000, the person buying on behalf of KMC would ask for an extra Kshs5,000, so that the cow is sold at Kshs15,000. This is how KMC has collapsed several times. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: In spite of the method used to transfer, it was quite in order to save this country, since all our livestock is going to Dagorreti instead of KMC where you could perhaps get better prices. I support the decision of the President and the Government to transfer KMC to the Military. Major General Badi has proven his ability here in Nairobi. Nairobi is cleaner and safer than it was because of the discipline of the military officer.

• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: I am sorry to interrupt my brother, but all over the world, the military does business. They do farming. I have been to Egypt, where the military makes furniture and carpets, and sell them. Therefore, it is not only Kenya that is trying to industrialize its army. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As the Chairman of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, these questions are very embarrassing. They are embarrassing me as the Chairperson because, as I stand here, I am supposed to answer to the demands by Members of the Senate, while in my county, Garissa Town, four people have been taken in the last two weeks. I understand that they are being held in a military camp. I have written letters to the Cabinet Secretary and the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and the answer always is that military people do ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: We have summoned the Inspector General of Police and the Director of Criminal Investigations to appear before the whole House. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank and salute you for giving me this opportunity. This is the first time for me to talk about the issue of the revenue formula which has been going on for the past one month. The only time I spoke about it is when we held a press conference at the gate of the Senate. At that time, I said that while it is quite in order for people who need to be given more money because they have to give more services, at the same time, there is nowhere in the Bible or the Quran ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: They are disturbing me, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if we pushed and pulled each other--- In my community, we have a saying that if you see people quarrelling over inheritance, you do not need to ask what they are to each other. It is because they are related. We are related as brothers and sisters in Kenya. This House is known for its impartiality and doing its work diligently. view
