• 22 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. This sector contributes to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of our country. The National Economic Survey, 2006 indicates that the fisheries sector was contributing approximately 4.1 per cent, roughly Kshs5 billion, to the GDP of this country.

• 22 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when you read the objects of the Bill, it is confusing. If we were discussing two Bills dealing with food, I would understand.

• 22 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can now understand that we are repealing the Act which was passed in 2013. This is what we want to amend. We, as Senate, must come with clear amendments that will not confuse Kenyans. As much as we amend the Act of 2013, we seek to create a new authority to deal with the management of fisheries. This is a Bill that focuses on the counties. Therefore, we need to ensure that the amendments that have come from the national Government, we will have a clear structure to allow the counties to fully participate because ... view

• 17 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders because they have brought the House in order after they consulted. I am sure the Committee will now do its work. As the Senate Minority Leader said, we will be going to a very serious campaign in 2017. With these billboards, governors have already started campaigning for themselves. However, we need to sensitise Kenyans to understand what has been happening in the counties. As we celebrate the third year of devolution, this Committee will have an opportunity to analyse reports from the counties. I hope Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale ... view

• 16 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also thank the school and, more importantly, the teachers for the discipline that the school has had for many years. This is one of the schools where we have never heard of any disciplinary actions taken against it. We also appreciate the mentorship programme that they have in the school which instills values. I hope it is a programme that can be carried beyond the school. Today, the issue of discipline is a challenge to our young people in schools. I hope that teachers will continue assisting students. These are students who come from very ... view
