• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just to echo what the Senator of Nairobi City County said. Sports is a major industry that offers very high paying jobs all over the world. I request the Committee to take a holistic approach to this problem. For example, you need to speak to the Ministry of Education and see how the education system is going to be tweaked so that children have time for sports. At the moment, children have only time for studying and preparing for exams. If this is addressed, then the centres that were serving as football academies in this country will ... view
• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I am sorry to address him. I started feeling as if I was addressing a criminal. He is not a criminal. He could easily hit me from the back that is why I was looking at him. It is important that we free our children. Talent is got from the youth. We constructed a make shift stadium in Malinya. Thanks to that stadium, children are emerging from that little stadium to join football clubs here in Nairobi City County. It shows what could happen if we put facilities in our regions so that children can get access ... view
• 23 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek for a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health on the Construction Status of Health Facilities in informal settlements in Nairobi City County. In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) List the health facilities that were being constructed or rehabilitated in informal settlements in Nairobi City County in the last two financial years and; (2) Provide the status reports on the completion and operationalization of each of those health facilities indicating the respective cost of construction or rehabilitation. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to compliment Sen. Cherarkey. This is a pertinent issue. In fact, it is a matter of great national importance given that Nairobi accounts for over 57 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this country. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: The contractor should actually not appear before the Committee. He should appear before the Committee of the Whole because all the Senators have pertinent issues that they would like to raise. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: I would want the contractor to explain how they developed such an expensive project without giving motorists, who are paying an extra fee to use it from Mlolongo, an exit to enter the Upper Hill Business District and the Central Business District (CBD). view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know you have used it. If you intend to do any business in Upper Hill and you are on the Express Way, you have to go to Museum Hill and you will do the same if you want to come into the CBD. He should tell us if there is a scientific reason otherwise our expectation is that he should create an entry into the Central Business District and an entry into the Upper Hill District. I thank you. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the report by the Senator for Vihiga, who is also the Chairman of the County Public Investment Committee (CPIC), should be supported. Mr. Speaker, Sir, by way of encouragement for the Committee to get rid of that backlog, they can do bi-annual accounts. Meaning, for each respective entity that they look into, they should consider the accounts for two consecutive years. We did it many years ago, with the Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly. That is how we got rid of the backlogs which we found there. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, with all due respect, ... view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: line, do governors get money to invest in offices in Nairobi? They create jobs for their friends and relatives, with no clear way of accountability. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have in mind any governor sitting in office today. However, some governors will not stop at anything, to create an opportunity, to improve the welfare around themselves. You may have heard governors talking about some funny caucus unknown to us, called the governors’ first lady “something”. They have been calling for funds, to help them preside over projects and programmes. This Senate should be strong and loud. It should ... view
