• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this moment to welcome the student and teaches from Baringo County. I take this opportunity to thank the school for visiting this House. The students before us today are the leaders of tomorrow. All the Senators present here, at some point, were primarily students. They went to secondary school and university and finally, became leaders of this country. I would like to encourage the students that the future is bright. If you take your studies seriously and focus, you can be sure that in some years to come when all these leaders will ... view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Kibwana for requesting a Statement on the closure of Kabarnet School for the deaf. Last week, I had a chance to reach out to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of education. The Member of Parliament for Baringo Central did the same too. We were given assurance that the school will be reopened and that Government will facilitate the provision of food and other amenities. I am shocked that to date, they have not done so. This is an unfortunate situation. You are talking of children in a condition where they do not have ... view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Senator of Lamu is a Member of my Committee. Sen. Kamau Githuku, as a member of my Committee, has demonstrated a high degree of representation in that Committee. Standing Order No. 101(4) says that no Senator shall impute improper motive on any other Senator. Is Sen. M. Kajwang’ in order to impute improper motive that the attempt to remove Sen. Kamau Githuku from this Committee is on the account of incapacity? That is a very serious allegation. These proceedings are live. The great people of Lamu are watching and listening to what we ... view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the important Statement by Sen. Ogolla on the expansion of Kabunde Airstrip. My County of Baringo County has no functional airstrip. We have the Kabarnet Airstrip. If some resources are put to that airstrip to expand it, we can have flights to Baringo directly from Nairobi or through Kabarnet, Eldoret to Lodwar and so on. Air transport is fast and important for us to succeed in business. Baringo County is a potential area on tourism. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for Roads, Transport and Public Works. Recently, as leaders of ... view

• 24 May 2023 in Senate: If you look at Eldoret International Airport, it is an important strategic airport in this country. For Baringo County, you have to go to Eldoret Airport then drive back to Baringo through Iten. It is an important Statement. The Committee responsible should look at the other areas so that we improve and expand airstrips in the country. I support. view
• 23 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the Statement by our colleague, Sen. Chimera. The compensation by the Government has been a big challenge in this country. In this particular case, we are talking about compensation for those whose land was taken because of expansion of the Ukunda Airstrip. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are also aware that there has been compulsory acquisition of pieces of land by Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA), Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and other institutions of Government to build roads, the Express Highway and the SGR. Today, I am told when you ... view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sir, I appreciate the CS for answering the questions. Mine is a bit different. CS, you visited Baringo County three months ago to assess the status of the Geopark Programme, which is being established in Baringo. It is one of the ways of marketing our country. This is because Baringo is rich with a lot of historical sites, including the Tugenensis; the oldest man in the world and so on. If we approve Baringo County, Kenya will be the third country in Africa and it will market Kenya very strongly. Hon. CS, what is your Ministry’s ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement. There are three institutions dealing with matters concerning roads in the country; the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA), the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) and the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA). This is a timely Statement. We are aware there are very many incomplete roads in the country, today. In my view, this arises out of two issues; the issue of funding by the Government and the quality of the contractors that are awarded these contracts. In my county, we have two roads which face the same situations like ... view
