• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: even impromptu visits just to ensure that the children living there sleep in a clean environment, go to school and get meals as is expected of young people. If you cannot provide for them, then do not set up a children’s home. This law provides for county governments to be able to set up children’s homes of their own. For example, Kericho County, the county I represent in this House, is able to set up a Kericho County Children’s Home. That way, we will not have racketeers who will round up children, put them in a particular place, pretending and ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: things. Human life is priceless. You cannot put an amount and say Kshs100,000 or Kshs1 million will be an enough deterrence for people who want to engage in these mischievous activities. Therefore, licensing is critical to me. Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, it is unfortunate I came in contact with the Bill just a few minutes ago and have not finished reading it. However, it will be interesting to know the deterrent measures that have been put in place for people who violate some of the clauses in this Bill. I hope you have put stringent measures to ensure that the ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I rise to support this very important Motion that is before us; the adoption of this Report by our delegation at the 50th ACP-EU Conference. It is important that we put things into perspective. We are living in very interesting times; that on many occasions, it is not considered in this country to be a noble thing to sometimes travel to some of these conferences and give our input and get to learn and interact with leaders and legislators from other parts of the world. This has come at ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: It is through collaborations in such conferences that our colleagues attended where they are able to make an impression on our colleagues in the European Union (EU) on where there can be a transfer of knowledge and skills as well as the opportunities that are there and which are mutually beneficial for our people. This is not just a case of us pleading. It is not where we imagine that, as Africans, we will be seated at the table, extending our begging bowls to our colleagues from the EU, saying, “Oh, we have young people who can work for you.” ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: The contributions of the 28 countries that form the EU come from a position of understanding that these challenges can be surmounted. That a solution can be found for these young people from the countries facing upheavals so that they can settle in their countries by solving that particular problem, instead of just closing their borders and saying: “Nobody is allowed here.” People will allows find a way in, whether you like it or not. That is the experience that Europe has had for the last five to 10 years. The stricter they become with their immigration laws, the more ... view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: give attention to particular problems that the globe continues to face either in Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific or the European Union (EU). I would have liked to hear how the young Ms.Greta Thurnberg has captured the attention of the world on environmental issues at the on-going session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). That young girl said what all the Head of States put together in that room were unable to say. Ms.Thurnberg said that the business of measuring each other’s ego and trying to look good would not solve the environmental issues or degradation that the world ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to add my voice to that of my colleagues in condoling the families of these young children. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we speak, there is something that continues to trouble me; the fact that the proprietor of this institution continues to walk free on the streets of this city despite the obvious fact that the kind of structures that the children were learning in were not fit for such habitation. You do not need to be an engineer or a specialist to see that they were poorly constructed. Therefore, by this time, he ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this very important Motion on the County Government Disbursement Schedule for the Financial Year 2019/2020. This is a very important business that we are transacting. After the approval of the disbursement, we, as a House, would have completed a very sacred duty of ensuring that county governments are properly funded and well resourced to execute their mandate as given by the people of Kenya. I will be extremely brief because the Mover has done justice to this Motion by explaining almost all the important highlights. This is a fairly straightforward ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Disbursement Schedule, the information in the public domain is that whether or not we pass it, it does not matter because it is deducted at source. It is really unfortunate. That is an illegality being perpetuating at the National Treasury. I ask our colleagues who have been nominated to work in the ad hoc Committee on leased medical equipment to expeditiously conclude that process. This is because this is a very grave issue. The issue that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. raised on the conditional grants that are in Schedules 2 and 3, we are disbursing Kshs316.5 billion to our counties. ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: In the spirit of collective responsibility, as a Committee we will be keen to understand--- view
