• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: leave it to the media to inform the public, we can be assured of having a very misinformed society. I recognize the issues that Sen. Olekina has addressed himself to. He has said that there are things that need to be answered when a governor is absent and you have provided a good way forward. You have explained how the person, who is supposed to take over when one is absent, should do it. We have two issues here. The first one is the absence and the second one is how to secure the absence of a governor if they ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: 1:59:40, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not want to leave out the 40 seconds. I may shape it because I think that it is better because it will stay for longer. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, allow me to respond to something that Sen. Orengo has said. Apart from being a Senator in this House, I am also a Commissioner. One of the things that we are trying to do in this current Financial Year is to go digital with all our records. Sen. Orengo reflected – you can imagine with almost 40 years of being this House. Unfortunately, when ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add my voice in commending the work of the Committee. This is because not many Committees get down to details when presented with a Petition. I have not had a chance to read the entire document. However, listening to the highlights of what was mentioned by the Chairman, Sen. Haji, it gives an incline that the Committee undertook this work with studious discipline to ensure that the people that brought the Petition before this House get justice. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to echo the sentiments of Sen. Wetangula. What happens ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, for that information Sen. Seneta. It aids my argument. There appears to be a broader consensus on this issue unlike in the past. Until recently, I did not have a change of mind on this particular issue. I know the thinking that went into the abandoning of the Committee on Implementation. There were good and justified reasons for that. It is important for a committee to follow through its work and not leave it at the reporting stage. The most affected of our work are Petitions. This is because Bills become laws and the originator of a Motion ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, our colleague has brought a very important issue to the Floor of this House. While appreciating the issues that he has raised, it will be important for Sen. Mwaruma to begin the process of drafting an amendment to the current Mining Act. Some of the issue that he has raised can only be addressed legislatively. At the time of passing the Mining Act, we did it with a centralist mind approach. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: We have the mentality that in this country, counties are still baby organizations that still need to be incubated, yet in most federalist countries, most regions depend on that which they are naturally endowed with. The same cannot be said of our counties. You cannot think of any county that is enjoying the fruits of having a natural resource within its locality. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: I request Sen. Mwaruma to begin the process of bringing an amendment. He may team up with his neighbour, Sen. (Prof.) Ekal, because at the time we were discussing the Petroleum Bill, he had very serious concerns about what was happening in Turkana County. This presents to him an avenue through which he can influence policy. I get the sense that now is the time to talk about how resources should be shared. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: The people of Turkana County are being told that they are not supposed to receive the kind of allocation they get in the Division of Revenue. If that is the case, then you should also deny them your oil. Let them pay dearly for it. That is the same case for Taita-Taveta County, given the kind of revenue they receive, despite the fact that they contribute immensely through tax. Mining companies that operate in Taita-Taveta pay huge amounts of taxes, but what they receive is only a small portion of it. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Therefore, I challenge Sen. Mwaruma to think along those lines. I support this Statement. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Report. This is one of the reports that has, unfortunately, stayed for quite a while listed on our Order Paper. I have taken time to interact with Members of this House who are Members of PAP. My good friend, Sen. (Dr.) Ali, speaks with a lot of confidence about the things they discuss at this temple of Africa, as it is referred to in the document. This is the place where Africa meets, speaks about its problems and tries to find ways of seeking solutions to the challenges that continue ... view
