• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: friend Sen. Cheruiyot has talked about. He said that he has no problem that when it comes to matters of security, the State can obtain the data and I beg to differ with him on that. This is an area that could be challenged in court on constitutionalism because any time the State may want to visit certain areas and get information. We know there are areas prone to terrorists. There is a time every agency was going to Eastleigh and we saw the State taking advantage of the lacuna in law to harass certain sections of Kenyans. We need ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: They say no trouble in Africa. In terms of doing business in Africa, they say we should provide an enabling environment. I think this is an enabling environment which is wrong in law. Where body corporates come, Kenyan lawyers will tell them that in the event of breach of a certain provision, they can only pay a paltry Kshs500,000. That is nothing to body corporates. They need to feel the pinch. Therefore, Kshs1 billion plus will be important for body corporates. We need to distinguish that. For individuals, it is relatively reasonable but for body corporates, they should suffer the ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: I thought I had 15 minutes but I can see the amber light has been switched on. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Clause 38(1) is well done. It does not limit the civil liability which is a common law claim that has no limit. We have heard parties being defamed in this country depending on their status. If you have a name worth to be defamed, it depends on how your lawyer convinces a judge in a court of law. We have had many cases where parties have been paid Kshs35 million or even Kshs500 million for defamation. If someone defames my name – of course, you know I am worth a billion shillings plus – I would sue ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is important that this law be retained as it is. This is a good Bill if only some panel-beating can be done legally. It is long overdue and, indeed, it is aimed at protecting not only privacy of individuals or institutions as to when by extension, but also protects information relating to the family and private affairs which unnecessarily may not be disclosed without the consent of the family. I support. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will endeavour to do the best in the two minutes. I also congratulate Sen. Mwaura for this important Petition and I support it. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: It is not prudent and economical for the Government to demand these kinds of payments which are too much from our youth. We need to change the law in that regard without much ado and do away with these payments. This is because this amounts to double taxation which is illegal under the tax law. view
• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: The requirement of experience for the youths whenever they are seeking employment is too much. I believe the system of education which we inherited from the British Government is not the best in terms of the market job orientation. The focus ought to be on how the Ministry of Education is preparing the syllabus. Our syllabus is somehow theoretical. It is high time that it is designed to be concomitant with industrial needs. We have talked about China and the tiger economies which are doing very well. At some point, they surpassed Kenya. For a long time, we have been ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for also giving me this opportunity. I am known not to tautologise or as a person who repeats himself like the good Sen. (Dr.) Langat wants us to believe. I stand to support this Motion. However, I will not repeat what other leaders said. I join other Senators who have contributed before me to salute the former councillors for rendering excellent services to this nation. Unfortunately, many are living in debt. My concern is on the design of the Motion which calls for payment of a one-off honorarium and monthly pension to former councillors. When ... view
• 18 Oct 2018 in Senate: We should not appear to punish those who are deceased. Considering the succession law, family members should be entitled to the one-off honorarium of Kshs1.5 million but not pension. Only those former councillors that are surviving should get the honorarium plus the pension. view
