• 29 Jul 2021 in Senate: Ordinarily, when such a matter comes up, out of tradition, you grant the first response or at least some minutes to the resident Senator of the county. I am not in any way getting into the debate of how Sen. Kinyua prosecuted his point. I thought he probably would have done it differently. view
• 29 Jul 2021 in Senate: On that point Sen. Sakaja raised, would it not be important that you dispense with that matter? view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to also make my contribution to this very important Bill. I have had opportunity to listen to a few of our colleagues who have had the chance to go before me and share what they consider to be useful thoughts on this Startup Bill. From the very onset, let it be distinguished and known to all and sundry. I note the change, though the Chair is vacant temporarily. I will avoid making reference until such a time that you are properly seated, Madam Deputy Speaker. view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, the point is that it is not for lack of sufficient laws that we do not have properly supported startups in the Republic. If it is about laws, we have done enough laws. If it is about policy, there is enough of paperwork that has filled various rooms in the Cabinet on what you need to do to encourage entrepreneurship and startups to ensure that they succeed. The goodwill to implement, unfortunately, is not something that can be legislated. It is on that point that I agree partly with Sen. Wetangula that unless there is a change ... view

• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: intervention policies, either by Acts of Parliament, or other policy measures, that have been prepared in this country before. First of all, in my contributions I will focus on what I consider to be important highlights of the Bill. Later on, I will share my thoughts also on what I think can be useful additions when we come to the Committee stage. Finally, just as a way of challenge to us because we are in leadership, we need to find it within ourselves small ways through which we can encourage innovation among our young people without even necessarily having to ... view

• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: people who can help this country meet some of their objectives at a cost that is extremely lower than what mainstream business providers of those services are charging. Madam Deputy Speaker, I know and we read about this on every other occasion. I read the other day in the newspapers about young people who are trying to rival the main data service providers who are charging on average Kshs3,000 for every 10 mbps per month. They said we can do it at Kshs700. However, because of the bottlenecks that exist including some very frivolous laws and regulations that we approve ... view
• 27 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, even getting a simple thing like a licence is difficult in Kenya. If a young person came up with a technological innovation today, the amount of money he will be required to pay to the Communications Authority of Kenya (CAK) to get a licence is exorbitant. We need to challenge ourselves as legislators and review some of these policies. That is why I sympathise when I listen to people in this country. Sen. Wetangula needs to listen to this carefully. Lately, as a presidential candidate, there has been a debate on how to craft a manifesto. Many ... view
