• 9 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to start with Clause 10, because the clarification that has been made in that clause is very important. In the developing world and in Kenya, we still have the discourse about how to handle our older people. Some of us feel that we should not have institutional care, while others feel that maybe we need to go in that direction. Therefore, it would have been a problem if we only went for institutional care and said that, “it must be institutional care.” That way, it would seem as if we are making the ... view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: On point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker. I stand under Standing Order No.106, to request that we reduce time for debate to five minutes to allow more Members to contribute because there is a lot of interest on this Motion. view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. When education came to Kenya, there was a conspiracy where sectors were either identified as white collar jobs or blue collar jobs. To a large extent, people felt that one The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 27 Sep 2018 in Senate: We need to give them a chance so that they make a difference. It would be very wasteful for this country and a disappointment when a lot of investment has been made in that sector, and then, it does not turn out to churn out the young people who can make a difference to this country. This is the direction for us to go as Kenya, especially in the education sector Madam Temporary Speaker, with those remarks, I support this Motion. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for this opportunity. You know how passionate I have been on matters of natural resources. During the Eleventh Parliament, we had a Bill on natural resources that the whole Senate supported and it would have solved exactly this problem that we are talking about. The Bill proposed structures that would have ensured that counties and communities reap from natural resources put there by God. There is no county without natural resources. The Committee that was formed visited nearly all the counties. If I can remember, we had Sen. Murkomen, Sen. Wako and many ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, it is not difficult to come up with a fiscal regime that ensures that right from the top to the bottom or from the bottom to the top, that a more organized mechanism is put in place to ensure that communities are compensated. It is good for the communities‟ natural resources to be exploited. However, it should not become a curse like in the case of Nigeria where we had the oil curse. People should be able to consider the resources that they have. For example, in Rwanda, they have the Kwita Izina. They look at the ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Various Bills have come up after the Natural Resources (Benefits Sharing) Bill. Shortly, this Bill is coming up again. We have tried to address the issue of “Money Bill” and created another authority, rather than the one we had, so that we ensure that at the end of the day, the Revenue Collection Authority (RCA) is put in place to ensure that revenue is collected and distributed. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are many Bills in the National Assembly that have been termed as “Money Bills”. As the Senate, what we strive for are our communities. It behoves our work when we have sat in this Senate and our communities cannot be helped. The Natural Resources (Benefits Sharing) Bill was clear about the proportions to be given including 20 per cent for the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) and 80 per cent that would go to the national fund. Within the 80 per cent, 60 per cent was going to the counties and 40 per cent was going to ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: I strongly support this Petition. Karebe Gold Mining Limited (KGML) has a case which extends to many other counties. These questions have to be put on the table and answered and proportions given out. view
