It is sad to hear and know that from 1996 to date, there are people still waiting for their compensation and retirement benefits. It is sad because we have the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), which should be mindful of the teachers’ welfare. The Kenya National Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA) are also there. They should be concerned about the retirement benefits of the teachers. All of us working want to get our benefits when we retire, so that we can continue with life. Those teachers have waited for their benefits from ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to complete my Motion for compensation for the Kenyan victims of the 1998 bombing of the USA Embassy in Nairobi. I had already read what I had written on the Motion. I want to continue by saying that I do not see why the American Government should not compensate Kenyans who died in the bomb blast and those whose, some of their body parts were cut off by the impact of the bombs. Some of them were seriously hurt, injured and are still undergoing treatment. Some of them are really ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion by the Senate Majority Whip. The people who have been appointed to lead this investigation are worthy people. I have a lot of trust in them. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for recognizing this as occultist. It is not a religious body or a church according to the Bible and what the false prophet has done to the innocent people of Kenya. Even in the Bible, Jesus did not want people to know when one is fasting. You cannot go around ordering people to ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question to the CS is about Portland. Portland land was under lease, which is over. I know that this matter is in court. However, they took a Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) loan and the bank is selling the land to the community. We know once the lease is over, the land should be returned back to the community through the county. Why is KCB selling the land to the community yet land loans are insured? The insurance should take care of the loan and not the community to compensate KCB. What are you doing ...

Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii kuchangia taarifa ya Sen. Onyonka kutoka Kisii. Ninaunga mkono taarifa hii. Jambo la pesa ambazo hazijalipwa wale contractors na suppliers waliopeleka vitu na kufanya kazi katika kaunti, ni sugu sana kwa kila kaunti. Kama kaunti ya Machakos, tuko na hizi pending bills za kutoka 2014 hadi wa leo. Na bado hazijalipwa. Bw. Naibu Spika, ningeomba wale ambao wataangalia jambo hili waangalie kaunti zote na hata kuundwe jopo la kuchunguza ni watu wangapi hawajalipwa pesa zao katika kila kaunti. Mambo haya ya watu wa bodaboda ambayo yameletwa na Seneta mwenzetu ni muhimu sana ...
