• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: After the Natural Resources (Benefits Sharing) Bill, other Bills have looked at the whole idea of compensation and benefits sharing right from the national level to the community and given proposals. This is a good thing. However, even the Mining Act 2016 does not have those provisions. It simply says that for a certain amount, distribution of 25 per cent will go up to the lowest level, which is the community and 75 per cent remains in the national Government. For as long as we have Bills that give a provision but do not put adequate structures to ensure this ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, I support this Petition. 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
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is Sen. Sakaja in order to refer to the fact that some of the statements might have been dropped as a result of the changes that have been made as a relief? It should be a pleasure for the Chairperson of any Committee to bring all the statements that are sought. They help us to answer questions from wananchi and key areas of importance. It is part and parcel of the dignity of being a Senator and a Chair of the Committee. Is he in order to use such language? view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This Bill was first introduced in the National Assembly in 2017. It has gone to and from the National Assembly; it went back with reservations from the President. It has come back. view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Listening to the discussions and contributions, what happened all this time? This is because I have also seen places where stakeholders are involved even in the policy that is talked about in Clause 5. Probably, either stakeholders were not very involved or this is a Bill that came from the Cabinet or Ministry and was just interpreted and taken as it is. I am happy that it is being subjected to this scrutiny. This Bill is also important because it actually proposes the repeal of the Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act, Cap. 308 of the Laws of Kenya. Madam Temporary ... view
• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: basically the governor can hand pick somebody and put him there. This will create a big problem. Madam Temporary Speaker, what really touches me and it is very important is the way the agreement for the distribution has been made. I do not know whether the people of Turkana actually agreed that 5 per cent only should go to them out of the 80 per cent that will go to the national Government. This Bill proposes only 20 per cent to the county. It is as though it is a favour because no mechanisms have been put in place. As ... view

• 25 Sep 2018 in Senate: Is it in order for Sen. Murkomen to keep talking to the person who is making the presentation as he struggles to talk through the Chair; he is speaking directly to the Senator who is on the Floor? That is out of order. view
• 18 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also stand to support the approval of the Report on the County Governments Cash Disbursement Schedule for Fiscal Year 2018/2019. As other hon. Members have indicated, the three Schedules have clearly indicated the equitable share disbursement, the disbursement for conditional allocation and the conditional allocations that are from projects and grants. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Constitution of Kenya 2010 was overwhelmingly voted for because of the Article on devolution. That is because Kenyans believed that this was the moment of change and that this was the way to capture that change. We have seen ... view
• 18 Sep 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, nothing is rocket science. The Rostovian Model for development has been put into place. You must first accumulate and then divide. You cannot do that with increased taxes. You need to have a strategy on how to accumulate and them divide and I think that is the direction we want to go. I thank you. view
