• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: behalf of the Senate representing the Road, Transportation, and Housing Committee,’ what questions will you be asked? Out of five questions that the members of the public will ask you is what is likely to take a center stage? I think any public meeting today on transport-related issues will not end. At least, each of the three first five speakers will speak on this topic of road safety. The fact that we continue to lose almost 5,000 Kenyans each and every year in a civilized society, is completely unacceptable. The statistics continue to grow. I expected this Committee to tell ... view

• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: protect investments. Nonetheless, she asked a question that we must ask ourselves. Is it corporates that need protection or citizens that need protection from corporates in this world, knowing the power and influence that certain corporations wield? Sen. Seki read before this House a Petition that was brought by a citizen on the operations of Diageo in Kenya. Perhaps, only Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale was in Parliament in 2003. However, those that were in Parliament in 2003 will recall the big debate that happened in the country when the then Kenya Breweries Limited was being sold to International Investors. There were ... view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: I do not mind Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am not very sure how useful that information is. Sen. Faki will know that I personally have an interest in one of the local football clubs. Unfortunately, we were relegated last season. However, the Tusker Football Club (FC) of 2023 is nothing to write home about compared to Kenya Breweries Limited of the 1990s. If you are a good fan of football, you will know that. Not to lose my point, this Petition challenges us, as a House, to look into the operations of big corporations that come into this country pretending that they are investing, ... view

• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Many of us should follow that Petition. There are many corporations that invest in this country and we feel happy about it and yet in the real sense, what they get vis-à-vis what Kenya enjoys for hosting and providing them with an opportunity to invest in this country, are not compatible. It is a well-known patriotic philosophy across countries nowadays, that even as you negotiate in trade deals, you first look out for your national interests vis-à-vis that of those who are investing in the country. Therefore, we will be keenly following this Petition that is before that Committee. Madam ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance. I am a very big fan of Petitions. I find them to be effective and one of the quickest ways in which this House dispenses justice to the people that are represented through the representatives here. I have listened keenly to this Petition. It raises something that is both legal and extra-legal in the sense that it is a policy decision. The Committee which you will give the opportunity to listen to this Petition will guide us. You are aware that the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), conducted an extensive ... view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: achievement over and above what these residents and the teachers of Kilifi are looking up to, so that the TSC, just like many other organizations that are yet to update their record, are guided by the constitutionally mandated organ for distribution of resources in this country. view
• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, salary qualifies as a resource. It can guide the process so that we do not have different classifications for police officers and teachers--- view
