• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Again, Clause 5, in considering an application for the license, what the person should do and what he should be looking at and where if the license is rejected, under what conditions. For example, is it endangering or obscuring a particular place, hindering the reading of interpretation? This is very serious because maybe this is a board indicating this is the way to the hospital and somebody has put there an advertisement of the greatest beer on earth and somebody is busy looking for where the hospital is and they go to the wrong place. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: There is, indeed, a time when we had discussions about posters, for example, and where they are placed. A distractive poster at a roundabout might actually lead to more accidents. Therefore, all this nexus and ideas that go into advertising is all about structuring and putting the right things at the right places. Therefore, that is a very well covered Clause. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had already mentioned Clause 6 and the other ones. However, coming back to Clause 12, it has to do with a review, which is very good. This is because most of the time in most ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: We know that there are people who always take advantage of transitions. One may have people coming in during the transition process, saying ‗this advertisement is illegal‘ when it is probably not. Therefore, at least that transition clause is put into place and remains in force subject to the provision of this Act for the remainder of the period of the license. That is important because it will protect the parties involved and, therefore, the licenses will have continuity. Congratulations, Sen. Poghisio, for this Bill; and as I indicated earlier, I support it. I hope that once it becomes law, ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Sakaja is declaring Sen. M. Kajwang' out of order. He is also out of order himself by stating that the other person is out of order. That is the preserve of the Speaker. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this very important Petition which addresses the youth unemployment issue in this country. Kenya’s unemployment rate is very high. It is placed at 35 per cent. With the promise of employment, especially after graduation, most of our graduates are becoming more and more frustrated. Most of them have hope of being employed on completion of their education. As much as different education policies have been formulated overtime to divert our youths from white-color jobs and encourage them to create their own employment opportunities by enrolling in vocational and technical trainings, it ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: then they lead to deviancy. For example, some people realize that they need to own a house and they will do anything to achieve their dream of owning a house. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Petition addresses itself to the difficulty in getting clearance from various bureaus that have been mentioned here such as the anti- corruption body, the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB), HELB, among others. However, where paper work is required, it costs money and time. Many of our youths do not like going to those institutions for clearance certificates. Again, that creates a bigger burden for them. One of ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand to issue a Statement of international and general topical concern under Standing Order 47(1). view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Pursuant to this order, I rise to issue the Statement on the election of Sen. Kihika as the President of the Inter-parliamentary Union (IPU) Forum of Women Parliamentarians. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a proud moment for us, as the Senate of Kenya. It was a moment of pleasure in Geneva, last week, when this appointment was made; everybody was happy for Kenya. It was an honor, not only to Sen. Kihika, but to the whole country as well. Many other countries came to acknowledge and congratulate us, as a country. We took those congratulatory messages and we are very proud of our own, Sen. Kihika. She also chaired various sessions for the Women Forum for Parliamentarians, and did an excellent job. She made us proud and everybody ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the whole week at the IPU was one of learning, because that is an organization of parliaments. It is composed of about 178 members, who are parliamentarians from different countries. view
