• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: the data. Thank you very much, Senator, for bringing that connection between the centrality of the data subjects, their rights and the fact that the determinants of this misuse, is the data itself. If you did not have this data, you would not deny the rights to health, employment, credit and so on. Going forward, in the amendments we will make sure that we think through this Bill knowing that data is the determinant of all these things. Madam Temporary Speaker, from Sen. Kihika‟s submission, we have taken note that at times there was abuse of personal data of public ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 48 (1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads and Transport on the state of Isiolo International Airport.

• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when former President Mwai Kibaki and former Prime Minister, Hon. Raila Odinga joined the Ethiopian Prime Minister to open the much hyped LAPSET Project that was supposed to run from Lamu all the way through Isiolo, Turkana, South Sudan to Ethiopia, it was supposed to be a historical event and with the signs of it being the most ambitious infrastructural project in our country.

• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: Why is it that things that are expected to be opening up the region are actually fake, which is real marginalization, confirming the statement that we do not belong to Kenya. Was it the only way that corruption was being undertaken or why was so much money used and at the end of it, what we have is a fake cosmetic airport that is sitting there for all to look at, yet it cannot be used?

• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the LAPSET is a critical Vision 2030 project and is a significant component that includes Lamu Port which is supposed to be 880 kilometres all the way to Ethiopia and South Sudan and a super highway of 1,710 kilomeres from Lamu to Juba, Addis Ababa, a railway line and oil refinery of 2240 kilometres. Other components of the project include construction of three resort cities at Isiolo, Lamu and Lokichogio, near Turkana and construction of an airport in the resort cities and development of associated infrastructure. It is sad today, in 2018, nothing has happened. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: Most of these projects should be looked at and I hope that this Committee will get to the bottom of this matter. Among other issues, it should consider the following:- (a) Is it that we are going to pay billions of shillings for infrastructure projects that are not giving us returns on investments? (b) How will we ever get ourselves from the debt situation and the very precarious fiscal situation in this country if we are investing in things that are not going to give us returns on investment? Madam Temporary Speaker, my prayer is that the Committee gets to ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in Senate: For Isiolo Airport, we need to know- (1) Why it has such a short runway. (2) Why Isiolo Airport is referred to as an International Airport only by name and not in the specifications. Thank you. view
