• 20 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the point that I was trying to make is that the discussion that we need to have is; what is it that we shall do, as a country, in order to have more taxpayers instead of relying on salaried employees. That is the crux of the matter and that is where all this debate boils down to. Therefore, each time a budget is presented before us, as a legislature, that is the first point of call. I have seen so many ideas being proposed by the national Treasury, for example, the Housing Fund, where there is an ... view
• 20 Sep 2018 in Senate: I know that my colleagues would also want to contribute. We must now read our Budget with a fine tooth-comb, so as to see some of the principles that are being proposed. For example, we have been told that the budget on security is huge because it is a strategic item for this country, yet that is where the largest source of looters‟ fund is found in our Budget. We were told that a wall was being built somewhere close to Somalia, we have not seen it, yet it has cost almost Kshs15 billion in the last three or four ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. (Rev.) Waqo for bringing this issue to the fore. I also join my colleagues in passing my condolences to the family of these two young ladies. While at it, perhaps time has come for this House to consider the issues that have been pushed of late by our colleague, Sen. Kasanga, that is; alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. One of the ills of colonialism is that they scoffed at African practices and gave us mechanisms, which true to what is being attested here today, are not working. This is because no deaths like ... view

• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Motion on the inclusion of my good neighbour and friend, Sen. Fred Outa, into the Committee on Health. This is so especially with the very glowing credentials about him that have been given by his Chair from the other Committee that he is serving in. The time has come for us, as Senators, to properly consider what our gifts, strengths and passions are, especially in matters Committee. If you find that you are placed in a Committee where your faculties do not serve you extremely well and you are in an area ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I will try and be brief, so that the rest of my colleagues can also get a chance to comment. From the outset, I want to say that I support this Motion. Hon. Chepkong’a is a gentleman well known to me. We served with him in the last Parliament. Although he was in the National Assembly and I in the Senate, on many occasions we had the chance to interact on many national issues. He is one of the many brilliant gentlemen who lit up the corridors of Parliament during the last Parliament, with great ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion- AWARE that the Senate passed a Motion establishing an Ad Hoc Committee to conduct an inquiry into the challenges facing the tea sector in Kenya, on 14th March, 2018; FURTHER AWARE that the Committee was required to table a Report to the Senate within five months from the date of establishment; CONCERNED that the duration accorded to the committee lapsed on 15th August, 2018 while the Senate was on recess; REGRETTING that due to the heavy workload, the Committee is yet to conclude its inquiry and requires more ... view
• 13 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank colleagues who have expressed their support for this Motion and the many concerns that they have shared with us. I was keenly listening and taking notes and I was wondering whether they too share the concerns that I have. This is a burden and I hope many of my colleagues who serve with me in the Committee have taken it with a lot of zeal and seriousness. I believe that at the end of the 60 days, we shall come up with good legislative proposals that, upon their passage in this House, tea farmers of ... view
