• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: gritties of upstream, midstream and downstream petroleum operations, it has not set up the strategic framework of ownership of the jurisdiction within which this will happen. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: We know that oil extraction has a lot of jurisdictional issues. Who will manage them? Is it the counties, the national Government, the communities or the owners of land? So, it has not set out all the jurisdictional aspects so that it is clear who will take care of what. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: It has not looked at ownership. Where I come from, land is owned communally. Just alluding to that, in the United States for instance--- view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: I come from Isiolo County. I am a daughter of Isiolo County and a daughter of Kenya. Where I come from in Isiolo which is in Kenya, we have a lot of community land that does not get mentioned. In the oil and gas laws of the United States of America (USA), the Indian tribes are mentioned by name with the ownership rights to those resources. It is very clear even before you look into issues of extraction, upstream, midstream or downstream petroleum operations or what have you, you already know the rights of the people.

• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: The Bill is also very narrow. It goes straight to petroleum. There are certain aspects of the energy sector that cannot be divorced; oil and gas for instance. I do not know if this in the form and substance as it is really takes care of the aspects that we need as a country so as not to go down--- view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: I am concluding, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. For me, as much as this is a bulky document, the key important strategic issues have been missed. Therefore, it is in the best interest of this House to ensure that those things are looked at. I sit in the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. We are dealing with a lot of issues that emanate from laws that do not serve the purpose for which they were made. Therefore, we do not want to make laws that will serve nobody but a few people that probably would want to get themselves ... view

• 20 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to weigh in on this matter. Let me also take this opportunity to thank Sen. Wetangula for persisting and making sure that this very important issue of national sustainability, durability and looming crisis is discussed. He is the lone voice that has continued to bring this matter to the attention of the nation. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am saddened because it seems we, as parliamentarians, have tremendously failed this country. Could it be that we do not understand our role in the budget-making process or is it that ... view
• 20 Sep 2018 in Senate: I have heard of a figure of Kshs2.55 trillion in the statement from the national Treasury. There was also a figure of Kshs2.629 trillion in the Gazette Notice in July and we are talking about reducing the budget from Kshs3 trillion to Kshs2.971 trillion. We do not seem to know what the budget for 2018/2019 is in actual terms. There are many figures that are not factual being thrown around. This begs the question whether the national Treasury is on top of the game. Do we even know the exact figure of the 2018/2019 Budget for our country? Who should ... view
