• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I want to inform Sen. Cherarkey of what is going on in Wajir. Not all of the Assembly is in agreement with the whole process. We appreciate that they are doing an oversight. However, there is some hooliganism in their actions, including breaking the chairs and desks, that they work from. They are asking for accountability and a proper itemised budget. I will commend them for that, but not for their unacceptable behaviour. As you know, they are elected MCAs. view
• 24 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that the Fire and Rescue Services Professionals Bill (Senate Bills No.55 of 2023), be now read a Second Time.

• 24 Jul 2024 in Senate: the same year, a fuel tanker overturned at a place somewhere in Molo called Sachangwan, causing fire that claimed the lives of 113 people and many people were injured. Most of the Kenyans are still living with injuries today, while some of them died. In Gikomba, almost every year, we have fire that destroys a lot of property. However, at any given time, there are disasters or fire outbreaks, we have no prepared interventions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the above fire disasters, coupled with the recurring fire incidents in the secondary schools and markets, underscore the urgent need for improved fire ... view

• 24 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Bill. It has developed a lot of interest from the Members. I am sure many Members would have liked to contribute. However, I want to take this opportunity to thank the 10 Members who contributed. I, therefore, beg to reply.

Thank you. view
• 24 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As a Member of the Standing Committee on Energy, I wish to second the Local Content Bill (Senate Bills No.50 of 2023). The Bill seeks to provide a framework for development and adoption of local content. In the past, we used to see multinationals coming and going all over Kenya doing explorations, but the local people were not so much involved because they were not even knowledgeable. It was only a few senior members or political leaders who knew what was going on, but the rest of Kenyans did not know. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 24 Jul 2024 in Senate: parts of my county. The Bill gives a lot of responsibility to local content, like the experts in the country and the local communities within that area. There will now be a thorough environmental impact assessment. This is to ensure that we know the kind of things they are carrying. They have big containers and nobody knows what they are carrying. They are so secretive and do everything exclusively that even the local people who work for them cannot access some of their accounts. That should not be happening anymore. The Bill will give powers to Kenyans. The one other ... view
