• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, politicians are important citizens because they are leaders. What I meant is that they should not do their rallies and take their tools of trade and supporters to Uhuru Park. That is why I said that even our Members and staff of Parliament have an opportunity to walk to the Park in the evening because it is well lit. They can do their jogging and walking because they are also citizens. Sen. Kavindu Muthama, I did not mean that they will not be allowed. I said that rallies and meetings of our important citizens, who are also ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Senator for Marsabit County, yes, there is serious flooding and emergencies not only in Marsabit County, but also in many parts of our country. This morning, my colleagues, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration and the rest of Government, is putting together an emergency response team that will be used during the El-Nino rains. The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) wherever they are, including the ones in Moi Airbase are ready. We shall use all our assets to help the people of North Horr. Sen. Dullo, my sister from Isiolo County, on the Eldoret-Elan ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: County is next. In the next week, we shall speak with the Governor, leadership and yourself, and discuss what we can do also in terms of the stadium. It is something we can agree on with the county government, using the little resources and ourselves. I thank all the county governments that host our troops and give us huge tracts of land from Mombasa, Isiolo, Laikipia, Garissa, Marsabit, Turkana and many more. We do this for the protection and defence of our territorial integrity. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will repeat this again. The people the Senator for Nandi County is ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On the question by Sen. Mumma, I do not want to be misunderstood. If you visit the Freedom Corner today, you will see it is a different place. We have opened the area to the citizens who want to picket and light candles. A decision was made in 2022 that to maintain the status of the Park for other functions, whether cultural and small group political events, they could use the Park. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: When they removed the big pavilion, the essence was that if the Park was to be maintained to a global standard like other parks that can be accessed by our citizens and visitors in Nairobi, we limit it to specific functions and not political rallies. This is not a policy decision, but even the facility is not there anymore. We have reached this decision together with the Governor of Nairobi. We expected the residents of Nairobi and Kenyans to support us. Sen. Sifuna, you should lead several Senators to go and see that facility. It is different, fenced and secure. ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: For Kipchoge Keino Stadium, I think we will start refurbishing it in the next one week. We have now gotten a go-ahead from the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Youth Affairs and Arts and Sports Kenya. The problem was those two institutions. For us, we are just the implementing agency. The user Ministry, the Ministry of Sports, Youth Affairs and Arts, took long in bringing the designs and formally handing it over to us. However, we told them last week that we have a timeline of June or July 2025 to complete the Kipchoge Keino Stadium and Nyayo Stadium. Therefore, we ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sat with the hon. Senator for Turkana County, Sen. Lomenen. The whole issue of that road not being complete is complex. A big mistake was done. We must protect our borders. Due to insecurity, those who were building the road left the road somewhere, which is not our border with South Sudan. We are working on that as a multi-agency team. The Attorney-General of the Republic of Kenya is chairing that team. I am also a member. We will bring a very comprehensive report to both Houses. Secondly, the KDF has made a very deliberate policy ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: As the President said, we are not doing very well. We must deal with the 15 per cent. We have a number of strategies that the Ministry of Interior and National Administration under Hon. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki is putting in place in the next two months. If that will not work, I want to assure the Senate Majority Leader that Article 241 (3) (c) will be invoked, the way we did it in Mt. Elgon many years ago; we will go to that region. I state categorically and decisively that in this administration, banditry will be a thing of the ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Sen. Maanzo, this is a discussion. We have a choice. We cannot have our cake and eat it. Sen. Sifuna will agree with me that if we have to keep to a global standard, we allow those who want to use the Freedom Corner to go there peacefully or people to go and do socioeconomic activity in that park, or do three rallies, the park goes back to where it was. Two years ago, I was a practitioner in the political class. I know our supporters. That is why I said I am a founding member of the ODM, particularly ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Uhuru Gardens is completely different from Uhuru Park and Central Park. We have completed about 85 per cent of Uhuru Gardens and the National Museum of Kenya (NMK). We have completed the Gallery of the first President. We have done the one for President Moi, President Kibaki and the military. We have also done the one on the history of Kenya. We are about 85 per cent done. Very soon, dignitaries will start going to Uhuru Gardens and the NMK to lay wreaths at the tomb of the unknown soldiers, where we have inscribed the names of ... view
