• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: County, cross into Kwale County and do the same. From Kwale County, he has to go into Taita-Taveta County. Thereafter, he goes to Makueni County and he is still challenged that he has not paid; he is supposed to pay like this. Since the police know the ignorance of the business people, they even tease them and these people part with money at points where they are not supposed to give any money. As if it is not enough, having been tossed around four times, he does not know that he is yet to reach Machakos County. His goods are ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: He now has to arrive in Nairobi City County where he gets the super conmen. Somehow, he has to find his way and his goods transit Nairobi City County and arrive in Kiambu County. They are not done with him. This person who was in a start-up has to wait. Talking his way out of Kiambu County, he goes to Nakuru County then Kericho County, Kisumu County, Vihiga County and eventually, Kakamega County; 12 times. With this law, we are going to harmonise that, so that this businessperson does not go through this kind of summersaulting. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the young Senator for this innovation. I specifically discourage the issue of multiple licensing procedures that this Bill attempts. If we pass this Bill as proposed, we will have clear-cut principles enshrined that will be a game-changer. As I have said, doing business will now be simplified. You do not have to be challenged 12 times before your goods arrive from Japan to reach Kakamega. This Bill will also ensure that there is equity, transparency and accountability in the administration of the licensing procedures. Finally, this Bill will ensure that the licensing framework is ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: colleague. You are supposed to go and sit with him in the Committee and see how you organise the finance. Members of Parliament do not know and need to be guided. The same Member of Parliament was speaking when he controls Kshs140 million from the National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). He is free to construct eight classrooms if he wishes, be they normal classrooms or storey buildings and avoid the embarrassment of looking up to a man, who is a Chairman of a committee, like he is his senior to provide him with money for development. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: One can say these things on and on. However, I am glad that a trend seems to have developed in the last ten years, over the last two elections, where Senators are becoming Governors and Governors are becoming Senators. I hope that with this mosaic, people who leave this House to be governors will be better governors than the governors who go into office without experience of having been in this House, where you have on paper the performance of all 47 counties through which you are able to compare and contrast. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, ... view
• 29 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of this Senate today, 29th June, 2023: The Central Bank of Kenya Supervision Annual Report for the Year 2021. view
• 29 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations concerning efforts by the Kakamega County Government, through its Assembly to anchor into law the Office of the Governor’s Spouse in total contravention of the Constitution, the County Governments Act and the Legal Advisory by the Attorney-General. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the legal basis for anchoring in law the Office of the Governor’s Spouse, through the Kakamega County Office of the Governor’s Spouse Bill 2023. (2) Cause the Auditor-General to undertake an audit ... view
• 29 Jun 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for that guidance. The pain that I am feeling as a Whip is shared by my colleague on the other side. We started whipping as soon as we adjourned on Tuesday. We told Members that come Thursday, which is today, they should be here to vote. I have been whipping from 8.00 a.m., up to now. I am very disappointed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish you could have a tool to make your Communication more emphatic. It is very frustrating to sit here from 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. and then allow business to ... view
• 29 Jun 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, like everybody who has spoken before me, I am indebted to Sen. Kavindu Muthama because of this Motion. I rise view
