• 24 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Senator for Nyamira for this opportunity to inform him and he should not fear. If I was to inform anybody about what he alluded to, it would be to Sen. Gloria Orwoba. She is the one who was harbouring hopes of landing the Ministry of Gender. view
• 24 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, please, allow me to inform Sen. Omogeni that the purpose of making laws is not just to legislate for the present. Whereas he is right that, that kind of docket does not exist but going forward, another president will come and constitute his Cabinet in such a manner that his concerns would be accommodated in that particular docket. I thank you. view
• 23 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for a good reason, this Bill has generated a lot of interest and I thank Members for demonstrating that. I assure them that whereas this is my brainchild, the Bill is ours because none of us is not affected by its provisions. I beg that we either send proposals in writing or do personal proposal for amendments, which should be incorporated in the Bill. I assure everybody that I have taken notes. I will be looking for everybody who has proposed something to see how we can work on that particular amendment to make this Bill ... view

• 23 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, I appreciate that. I remember some of our colleagues used to make us, Members from Busia, Kakamega, Vihiga and Bungoma, a laughing stock because we used bicycles to carry people. In 2004, President Mwai Kibaki, in his legendary simplicity, zero-rated importation of motorbikes. So, people migrated from bicycles to motorbikes. Thanks to that, as I speak, we have created employment for three million boda boda riders. The three million boda boda riders support five million people in this industry, which generates over Kshs4.5 billion to our Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Sen. Mungatana, we need to polish this law ... view
• 23 Jul 2024 in Senate: riders are already used to the issue of tracking. Tracking is not extremely expensive because for those who own motor vehicles, we are able to track them with a one- off fee of Kshs10,000. Probably, it will be much cheaper for boda bodas depending on the innovativeness of that particular provision. This Bill is going to speak to the issue of thuggery and control corruption and harassment by police officers because we will legislate. I do not know the impression that this Bill has left to many contributors. They had thought that small crimes in this industry will attract a ... view
• 23 Jul 2024 in Senate: When these people gang up, it becomes a real threat, especially to motorists. When you hit one boda boda rider, however slight the scratch is, when they gang up, they can do anything to you. You have seen several cases in this country. One was reported in Juja, where a four- wheel-drive vehicle of a young lady was set on fire by these people. We want to discourage them from ganging. I wanted to avoid prescribing a fine for every little crime. I will go further. Where it is not provided for in the mother Traffic Act, I will see ... view
