• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Yes, Mombasa County has a 51 per cent allocation; is Mombasa County a Jubilee region? Please, Senator, I beg of you; let us not ignite small fires so that we can get answers. This is a very important question. view
• 7 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion on the establishment of an Ad hoc Committee to investigate and propose solutions to the challenges faced in the tea sector in our country:- AWARE that Kenya is the third leading producer of black tea in the world, accounting for about 10 per cent of the total world tea production; COGNIZANT that tea contributes 4 per cent of Kenya’s GDP and 26 per cent of the country’s export earnings; FURTHER AWARE that the tea industry in Kenya supports close to 600,000 small-scale farmers and provides direct or indirect ... view
• 1 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson are not here. So, on behalf of the Committee, I want to request for additional time. At the next sitting, we should be able to give a response to this House. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. From the very onset, I want to state that I support the Motion on the Adoption of Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2016 titled‘ The National Slum Upgrading and Prevention Policy’. This is a very important and well thought out document although, in my opinion, it is coming out quite late in the building of our nation. These are things that we should have done a long time ago, the minute we realized that our capital city was getting overcrowded. This should have been done when people moved out ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, my apologies, I would not have wished to interrupt the elaborate remarks of my good friend, Sen. Olekina. However, there is an emerging trend I am noticing which is bothering me. I am a good student of Sen. Khaniri who is a guru in parliamentary practice. Each time we make addresses in this House, it is done through the Chair. However, I have noticed that as Senators continue to make their address, some are gesticulating to the guests seating in the gallery while facing them. Is that in order? I request that you give due guidance to ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Commission of Revenue Allocation (CRA) in their requisitions to Government had requested the national Treasury to provide funds for the establishment of two regional cancer centres, but unfortunately, that request was turned down. The question to the Cabinet Secretary is; what alternative strategies are they going to put in place given that patients, especially those from not well to do families continue to suffer? Secondly, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) should tell us; given all these interventions that we have heard from people, why has cancer not been declared a national disaster so that it ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to make my remarks very briefly. The tone and the mood which was set yesterday by the Mover and Seconder of this Bill set a cloud of anxiety and uncertainty about the drafters of this Bill and the thoughts therein. However, there are many good things that have been well thought-out in this Bill that I agree with and the very premise upon which they want to do this law. It is for that reason that this afternoon, I rise to support The Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill, 2017. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have noticed something. When I walked in you looked a bit tired, but when it came to addressing Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri on matters miraa, your face brightened. I know that this is a topic you are extremely passionate about. view
• 21 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Bill is very important. Forgive me for rushing into the House. I was watching the proceedings from the lounge and feared that my good neighbour, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, was about to finish. I heard you say that there was not so much interest in the Bill and felt that there is need for me to add my voice because this is a brilliant piece of legislation.
