• 8 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senator for Murang’a, who began his Speech by first welcoming students from Kangema to go on to talk about tea but did not mention anything to do with the ban on students’ tea? Is it fair to the students? view
• 8 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to thank my colleagues, who have taken time and keen interest on this Motion. I have paid great attention to each and every contributor. I have sat here since I moved this Motion up to the end, and listened keenly to each of my colleagues. I appreciate them for the great concern they have for tea farmers. The struggle to liberate them continues. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I urge tea farmers across the country not to uproot tea. I assure them that via this Senate, we will instead uproot the ... view

• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill, but before I do it, on behalf of the Senate Deputy Majority Whip, Sen. Kang’ata who represents Murang’a County, I welcome the students from his home county. I wish them well in their study.

• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: many years of the existence of Parliament, it is at this point that we are thinking about the real movers and shakers of our economy. I cannot think of a more industrious group of Kenyans than hawkers and street vendors. These are the people who ensure that we access goods and wares at very affordable prices, if we need to purchase something urgently without walking to a particular shop or a formally built-up rental space. Sen. Kibiru thought it wise to bring to this House a Bill that will regulate how counties should take care of the supposed to be ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Clause 3 of this Bill is about the objects and purpose of this Act. It recognises the need to regulate informal trading, including the conduct of such trade and licensing by counties. Up to now, these businesses are not recognised. It is not considered legit or genuine business to be a hawker in any particular part of this country. Those that are allowed are simply allowed courtesy of grace or the good courtesies of the powers that be. With the passage of this Bill, it will no longer be a favour. It will be a right for a woman, man ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Clause 8 speaks about vending zones and places that shall be publicly designated. One of the things that we also devolved is the ability for local communities to govern themselves. It is possible for a local community to sit, decide and agree that a particular public space can be used as a market. Nobody should question them because it is their public space, and they can do as they feel. view
