• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Once again, Madam Temporary Speaker, as I wind up, we, the women of Kenya, and Members of the Senate and Parliament of Kenya, congratulate Sen. Kihika for The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: ascending to the Presidency of the IPU Forum of Women Parliamentarians. We know that she will do very well and we are proud of her. May God bless her. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I start by congratulating Sen. Olekina for bringing this Bill. The Bill clearly mandates county governments to plan, construct and maintain county roads, streets, lanes and alleys to basically bring order within the county. There is a big problem with that, as we know from our various counties. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have previously been involved in the planning of different cities and towns before counties came into being. If you go back to the cupboards of these counties where they keep data, you will see very good plans. Some of them are meant to designate areas, for example, for industry, agriculture and for burying people. I hope that this Bill is not related to that directly; but even with those plans that have been put into operation, the issues that always create a problem is the implementation of the same. Therefore, we once again have an issue ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: “A person who contravenes this section commits an offence and is liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding two hundred thousand shillings and subsequently to a fine not exceeding one hundred thousand shillings for every month the person fails to comply with the provisions of this section.” I think this is very minimal, which is then a cumulative fine upon conviction. There is no jail term that has been put there, but only a fine. Who will be responsible for this enforcement? Who will supply the money for this enforcement? Clearly, this Bill gives responsibility to the CEC and ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: As was said by Sen. Olekina when he was moving the Bill and Sen. Kihika when she was seconding this Bill, clearly there will be order in the counties. It is the sort of order that people want because it will attract investors. If you go to a county that you want to invest in and you cannot get any parking, you might just literally drive off to the next county which is more orderly. So, that is the first point; that a clear enforcement scheme and level of responsibilities have to be put in place. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: This Bill in Clause 5 articulately gives the responsibilities to the CEC under this particular docket. According to Clause 5(1)(a), they will be required to formulate a comprehensive plan for the construction and maintenance of ward roads within the respective county. I think public participation will also be required because goodwill is necessary. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: In some countries, when somebody throws a piece of paper out of a moving car, everybody stops and they are shocked because people do not just do that. We need to get to the point where we have a comprehensive plan and people should buy into the plan. To move with the communities, you have to make them part of the plan from the beginning. So, we will need a public participation process for the people because when people know why they are doing something, they participate in it. They need to be told places that have been designated and ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: There is also the issue of design, development and maintenance of drainage systems along all roads which cannot be realised because in Nairobi and many other counties, the moment it rains, there is flooding. In other countries, when it rains, people do not even stop what they are doing. They just continue with what they are doing. view
