• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: I have taken time to quickly scan through the Report of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and the Chair is here, and he can correct me if I am wrong. I was hoping that we could actually impose certain social responsibilities on these gaming companies. By law in other jurisdictions that have understood this concept, a percentage of their revenue is purely dedicated to managing addictions. They are forced to go through your systems to check, for example, how much Sen. Osotsi makes and the particular amount he is spending on gambling. You are then flagged by the ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: what is being used to expand the sporting arenas across the country. Therefore, I will quickly scan through the various clauses of the law. Part I of the Bill provides for the preliminary matters, which are interpretations of the terms being used. Parts II, III all the way to V provide for the various functions. They lay out the functions of the national Government in terms of policy and those of the county governments in regulating and controlling places like casinos.

I hope the Committee can move away from this. I have said times without number that, unfortunately, at the State Law Office or here in Parliament, people copy-paste certain sections of the law into Bills without reflection. It is an abuse of our legislative mandate as parliamentarians to pass such a law. As a legislator, you are aware of the money involved in gambling. If tomorrow I opened a casino on ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: It is not about saying. I do not serve in committees. It is you, the Members, who serve in committees. I want reports of committees amending those provisions, which I will support. It is unfair that you have the Principal Secretary (PS) for the National Treasury a representative of the Attorney-General. These are people who think in a particular way, facing off against one individual to represent the interests of counties. This is not fair. We are failing in our duty as a Senate. As a Committee, you have a responsibility to go through a legislation such as this. I ... view

• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my sincere hope that we shall continue to build on this relationship, strengthen it and make it better even for the greater realization of the objectives of both nations. I hope that our colleague Members of Parliament from Uganda will find time to interact with many Senators that are here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the unfortunate thing is that unless you are a sportsperson, there is no other formula for interacting with our colleagues Members of Parliament from the other East African countries. Therefore, I know people such as Sen. Maanzo who play no known sport ... view

• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, sir. I join my colleagues who are expressing their views on various Statements that have been shared.

• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: I know that the Members of Parliament from Uganda are still in the House, Madam Temporary Speaker. Uganda has been threatening to take this mantle from us. However, we are one people. Therefore, it is not a big concern to us. However, I congratulate Madam Helen Obiri for a stellar performance in Boston. She won the title alongside Edna Kiplagat and the lady who finished second whose name skips my mind. view
