• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Security of any individual in any country is the responsibility of the State. The State must, therefore, stand up and take responsibility for the protection of our athletes, especially the young women. The young women are disproportionately affected by murders, violence, maiming and all manner of violence against women. This is not necessarily a women issue, but the women are disproportionately affected. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: I urge the security forces and the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Gender to make sure that systems are put in place and that our athletes are protected. I support. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you very much Madam Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate my two colleagues. We will congratulate them later, but very well done for the good job that has earned them the Order of the Burning Spears (OBS). I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the arrest and forced disappearance of police officer Osman Omar Godana, Police Service No.89450, of the National Police Service (NPS) allegedly by State security agents. In the Statement, the committee should- (1) Investigate the circumstances leading ... view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Public Private Partnerships Bill (National Assembly Bills No.6 of 2021). As has been said, this is a timely Bill given the number of infrastructure that we are engaging in as a country and the need for a good legal framework to ensure the risks both to the country and the parties involved. Public private partnerships have come with a lot of contractual obligations and this piece of legislation is timely, especially at this time when there is a lot of borrowing to finance the gaps in our infrastructural demands. ... view

• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: investment, also, there are many things that can change in the period because these are long-term projects. If something changes, the Bill must lend itself for an opportunity for renegotiation, to take into account the new developments and make sure that we correct the course as we go along. There are a number of things that could go wrong. It could be the performance issues with the private sector or change in the policy of the Government. In this Bill, we must see an opportunity for us, as Kenyans, to make sure that we can change course and renegotiate. It ... view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for re- organising the Order Paper and giving me the chance. I will not take too long because the background to The Law of Succession (Amendment) Bill has already been said. I beg to move that The Law of Succession (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 15 of 2021) be now read a Second Time. The Bill is not a very long one. It seeks to address the issue of gender equity in succession matters. The Bill in amending the Law of Succession Act seeks to ensure that the Act provides for gender equity ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: force or by coercion a surviving spouse or child from the matrimonial home or any unlawful dealing with the deceased person’s estate. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Bill also seeks to align the definition of terms such as ‘marriage,’ ‘spouse’ and ‘matrimonial property’ to other recent laws such as The Marriage Act, 2014, The Matrimonial Property Act, 2013, as these have an implication when it comes to dealing with the estate of spouses. Clause 3 of the Bill seeks to remove former wives and husbands being maintained by a wife immediately prior to the death of the wife from the ambit ... view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. With all due respect to senior counsel, is it fair to now decide to use the Equalization Fund report to settle scores around the oversight fund? Is he saying that we now paralyze everything because we did not get that? Is this really about us or is it about something else? I think it is not in order. It is in fact irrelevant because we cannot paralyze because of other things that we did not get. Is that really fair? view
