• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: A few minutes later, I saw somebody looking for me and he told me; ‘excuse me, Sir, you gave me more than enough. Please, take back your money.’ The biggest question in my mind at that time was; ‘how do such societies get to the place where their citizens live honest and decent lives?’ The truth of the matter is that it is not complicated. That is a society where you are assured that you do not need to have all the money in the world to access the basics of life. That is where the problem begins. You will ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: The Inua Jamii Programme is now being rolled out by the Government. The truth of the matter is that that money is too little and inconsistent. Perhaps, the elderly get it three or four times a year, if they are lucky. Many of them have been enrolled to that particular programme. When you look at Paragraph (5) of Part II of this Bill, perhaps there are seven parameters that are listed. A good place to start from would have been a status report. We need to be told how we are doing based on the seven parameters which are education, ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: plane has not touched the ground, you have to look for another alternative. That is how serious people take the issue of economic and social rights. For us as a country, many of our young people have to live lives that are secondary, as opposed to enjoying decent lives because of poverty. The Commission should collect, disseminate and let people know their rights. They should know that when I get to the village as a Senator, I can let the people that elected me to know what they are guaranteed constitutionally and nobody should treat it like it is a ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there are many things that I would have wished to say but in the interest of time, I see the warning is up. I appreciate the good work that has gone into the thinking of this particular Bill. My only hope is that, finally, when this Bill is passed and it becomes law, we shall monitor and ensure that these good thoughts that have been put here, change the lives of our people. Otherwise, it will just be another good piece of legislation, like the many that we have passed but there is no way of enforcing ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: With those very many remarks, I support. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very interesting experience for Sen. Wetangula. I would like to join my colleagues in welcoming the good leaders from Elgeyo- Marakwet County Assembly. I welcome them with great honour. It will be a great travesty if I do not welcome them to our House because that county is very special to me. It is where my better half comes from. Any time I meet people from that county, I treat them with all the respect and honour. Therefore, if there is anything that they want to enjoy more than what is being offered, I ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1), I rise to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the National Integrated Identity Management System (NIIMS) or commonly referred to as the Huduma Number. In the statement, the Committee should- (1) Explain to the House the reasons for the introduction of NIIMS; (2) Provide ownership details of the companies that are undertaking the exercise and explain whether due procurement process was followed in acquiring the services of the said companies; (3) Explain what the NIIMS exercise entails, the expected budgets for each component and ... view
• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: I am sure many of my colleagues are aware that this is a matter of great national concern. Kenyans are asking many questions about the Huduma Number. I am sure colleagues are being confronted when they go to public functions to explain about the new thing that will be introduced. Therefore, it is important for this House to be furnished with the details of why this exercise is important, its benefits to the country and whether it was not possible to use already existing data as opposed to what is currently happening. Therefore, I request that the Committee expeditiously furnishes ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you did not communicate the time within which they are to furnish us with the response? view
