• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: There is an issue about the Universal Service Fund (USF). It is one of the issues that I referred to earlier because that is work that we began last term in this particular Committee. There was a big push and that is why I commend and can never buy the false reports that are sometimes sold out by prophets of doom about Senate and its place in this Republic. It was out of the work that was done by this House that the Communications Authority of Kenya began using the USF to roll out connectivity to some of the far ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it will be important for Sen. Moi, alongside the Members of this Committee to, perhaps, as they continue with their work, invite the Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) together with Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) so that we can be informed how many of the 40,000 polling stations in Kenya continue to have this challenge. We should not go the elections with polling stations that do not have connectivity at all. At this particular point it is important to be connected. I believe that there are other secondary measures that can be deployed by IEBC ... view

• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: you spoke passionately about the work that is still ongoing and I know that this is by way of update. We need to expedite. You remember we do not have to get to that level. If you recall a few years ago, these taxi alien cab drivers used to come and camp outside Parliament pleading to MPs to pass this legislation so that they are not exploited. This is within our national laws because we are not protecting our citizens from exploitation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you go to certain countries that are blessed with different resources, people ensure ... view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he wants to inform me and I do not mind so long as my time is held. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree and that is the challenge that we need to take up. I appreciate that there are many such brilliant young Kenyans. For example, if you go to Kericho County that I represent here, you will hardly find anybody on Uber. There is an application called Wasili which has many young people users. It was developed by a local. In any case, people should not feel guilty about this. The Western World thrives on doing the same. When we innovate anything as an African Continent, by the time it gets to the Western world, it ... view

• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: ensure that one, you curtail people from misbehaving in a particular area, for example, if you use road safety as an area that you want to use technology by use of these cameras, that will take us to ensure that our number plates are electronic and you drive with a card or a chip that is already loaded. You jump traffic lights, money gets deducted. You overspeed, money gets deducted and you just get a message on your phone. All these people that are misbehaving in the City; people who do not have the patience, this will be a simple ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, thank you for this chance to also register my complaints alongside the rest of my colleagues with regards to the way this matter has been treated and the importance that lies therein. You will recall that on the day this Petition was presented before this House in the usual tradition where we get to make our comments about what we think of a particular petition--- view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what is itching in Sen. M. Kajwangs’ chair. Had he held his peace for a few more minutes, he would have realised that in my concluding remarks, I would have spoken to all the work we have done as a Committee. Sen. Khaniri should be at peace knowing that in the fullness of time, what he is looking for will eventually be achieved courtesy of this good report. My good Chairman is very diligent and I commend him for that. I know that he has come under fire this afternoon. When you have ... view
