• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. Allow me to join you in welcoming this brilliant group of young men and women who are at the gallery this afternoon. As you have said, these are students from Strathmore University Debate Society. Last week, we were very privileged to meet a number of them at an engagement between the Senate and the Tallberg Dinner, where quite a number of Senators were involved in talking to them about various things. This particular group was very excited about this interaction. They said that they would like to visit the Senate and see the Senators ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: including the Alternative Dispute Resolution Bill, the Registration of Persons (Amendment) Bill and many others. This particular group is also involved in debate. What was very interesting about them is that they almost go very close to the Oxford Union and Cambridge Union in terms of endearing themselves to having debates about social, economic, and cultural issues that are key for development in this country. We feel very encouraged that at this young age, they are already beginning to take into cognizance issues about this country and debate them at this young age. They are able to express themselves even ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Statement and say that we have left our natural resources in a disorganized manner for far too long. Communities have cried out over and over again. We know what the issues are and what happens every year. At one time and one season we have a lot of water and the next time we do not have it. The next thing is that we have communities that need to have certain money or assets. Although they have been very rich in supplying certain natural resources, they end up not being able ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support this Statement, as well. This is an issue that has captured the nation. The very nature of the gruesome way that it happened is also shocking. It also highlights very clearly the issue we talk about; the issue of youth unemployment. There is desperation. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: This Statement probably wants to delve even deeper, and try to find out the identity of the stowaway, which is still a question in dispute. That is amazing and a little bit shocking. As my colleague Senator has just said, there is also the issue of security at the airport and the people in the aeroplanes. There is some sort of loose nut there that needs to be tightened, as far as security matters are concerned. This is an unfortunate situation and an incident that we need to get to the bottom of. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Therefore, I hope that through the Committee, they will give us the right answers to those questions. view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Statement. It touches on very critical issues that we have disposed of this House before; issues of resources and communities participating in processes that touch on the resources within those particular counties. An anomaly has been well pointed out. The one I have picked out, which is very key, is to get to the bottom of how a Board could be put in place without the regulations. Time and time again, especially where legislation is made, and where certain procedures are meant to be followed, then it is important that ... view
• 24 Oct 2019 in Senate: is important for us to contextualize this, be able to ask the questions and get answers expeditiously. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 23 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support this Statement about fishermen who depend on fishing as their livelihood. If they do not fish, there is little they can do, for example, a bit of trading. The fact that they have not been compensated means that they cannot make ends meet because this is their hope. I suggest that, apart from inquiring about the delayed compensation, the Committee should find a way to get a promise, word or definiteness about when the people will be compensated, what the delay is about and the date of payment. This should be one of ... view
