• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka. It is sad that the use of Executive Orders and Gazettements have become the order of the day. All that is needed to transfer community land to the military is a gazettement overnight. Now, all we need is an Executive Order to transfer KMC functions to the military. It is sad that the Principal Secretary in charge of livestock in the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries says it is better because the military will provide a market. Is our ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: and expect it to do any better. It is disenfranchising communities that have used this meat processor and this is not right. Somebody from the Route to Food initiative asked: “Is the military going to be teaching our children going forward?” I agree with his sentiments because at the rate we are going, while we really appreciate what individuals from the military have done, including the Director-General of the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS), it does not mean that we have to commercialize the military. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: I think that as this House, we should take exception to that and make sure that we do not accept these kinds of things. It does not make commerce, food security, or agricultural sense. It is even better if it had gone to the Ministry of Trade, but not the military. It baffles me to think that our military is now meddling in meat processing. This is especially coming from an area where that is the only industry feeding into the livestock. We take exception. Why could it not have been privatized? It is a legitimate option that could have ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support and hope that when the Committee is doing that, it will invite some of us to be part of the process. view

• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you very much for the opportunity. I stand up as a very proud Senator. The names that perhaps were known by notwithstanding, I am very proud that we have made sure that the new formula is not going to leave any county behind. The fact that for the duration of the operation of the Third Basis for allocation of revenue among counties no county shall receive in any financial year an amount of the shareable revenue less than the amount received in the previous year is a win for this country. So much has been said, ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a general failure of nerve in leadership. If this formula is anything to go by, when we master our nerve as the leadership and stand view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: up to whatever is not right, this is the result we get; we all win. Today, not only did the marginalised counties win, even the other counties won much more than they had won. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: There is scarcity mentality that was rubbished today. That is to say that there is not enough and that the leadership was not going--- view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, a lot has been said. Gov. Oparanya should have used the speed with which he is purporting to close down health facilities to close down the criminal enterprises that are abound in the counties. Bad leadership diminishes everything. Gov. Oparanya has not only diminished the functional and institutional integrity of our county governments; he has taken them to the dogs.
