17 Apr 2024 in Senate:
Running parks is not our core mandate. This House knows that the Constitution provides that we protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country. We only come to do one or two things when we are called upon by the national Government. Tomorrow, I invite the Senator of Nairobi and the leadership of Nairobi. If he did not get the invitation, we will send an invitation. He should come and take over his Park, alongside the County Government of Nairobi.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as mentioned earlier, the works at Uhuru Park have been completed as per the contract, with only minimal works remaining for the Central Park. However, the military in collaboration with the County Government of Nairobi has been allowing the public to use this facility on occasions and functions, including the inaugural Nairobi Festival of December, 2022, the launch of World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally of June, 2023, the Community Health Promoters launch by the President in September, 2023, the Christmas and New Year festivities to citizens of Nairobi. The last one was the Private Security Regulatory ...

visitors' experience. This MoU will officially be signed tomorrow as we hand over the park to Nairobi County Government for opening to the public, I hope over the weekend. We have installed a very good entrance gate management system and we expect that at least the Uhuru Park to be free to the public and maybe for Central Park, Nairobi County Government, with the stakeholders, can agree on what they can charge but, of course, very minimal. We have made a provision in Central Park for a security police post. Globally, these parks must have security. We do not want ...

I know the rank and file and supporters of ODM and many other political parties. That Park will never again be used by politicians to address rallies. It is out of bounds for that. This is because you rarely see a park---

17 Apr 2024 in Senate:
One of the reasons we removed is that those of us who are in the political class will look for another venue. I am sure even the Governor of Nairobi will not--- The provision is not there. I am sure it was the best place for popular parties like the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and others in Kenya Kwanza (KK). That is where they showed their might and raised the highest number. I, however, think there are many other open places to go to. Secondly, I will provide the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). It is just one page containing our ...

17 Apr 2024 in Senate:
I agree with him that Article 243(3) (b) of the Constitution provides for that. It allows KDF when called upon, particularly in an emergency like what is happening now in parts of Tana River, Garissa, and Lamu to come in and assist citizens. We did that during the El Nino. In fact, today, we have heard that all the dams are overflowing. We expect, in the next four days, a lot of flooding in Garissa, Tana River and Lamu to be very specific. I agree with him. Of course, in concurrence with the Commander-in-Chief, there are many things that we ...
