• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a serious matter. It is sad when one talks of Kshs56 billion having been spent on this project yet none of the counties can testify of meaningful development in their county. This is a project that covers nine counties; Lamu, Samburu, Isiolo, Turkana, Garissa, Laikipia, Baringo, Marsabit and Meru. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: I will make a radical proposal. All the nine counties have Senators representing them here. It is important that the nine Senators or the nine counties rise up. There is a tendency in this country where anything affecting the marginalized areas of this country do not receive the attention of the Government. When you talk of the drought that is currently going on in the country, you will find that the same counties are the ones that are affected. All we do is call for donor support from other countries, which is okay, but we do not think of a ... view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: The initial philosophy of LAPSSET was to open up these areas for them to be part of Kenya. However, look at what has happened; Kshs56 billion is gone. It has only benefited a few. I want to inform my colleagues, Sen. Shakila Abdalla and Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe Ltumbesi that their value in this country is zero. That is why the board of directors of KPA continues to manage the same corridor that cuts through nine counties. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: The situation is even worse in Baringo. This corridor covers the end of the county. It should have come from Samburu to a place called Loruk then it goes to a town known as Tiaty before it gets to Turkana. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: I want to agree with the Members that an ad hoc Committee of this House and perhaps one with the National Assembly should be formed. I want to appeal to my view
• 30 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
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: colleague, the Senator for Samburu County, to move a Motion in the House to form an adhoc Committee after the Committee on Roads and Transportation brings the report after 60 days. If he does not, I will move the Motion. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: This is what I would call marginalization. When we had the post-election violence in 2007, billions of money was used to resettle people and it was a good idea. However, when there are floods in these areas, no attention is given and no serious projection of Government is taken into account. It is our time, as Members of these counties, to come together. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to talk about compensation. I am a lawyer by profession and the process of compulsory acquisition of land is clear. One is to identify the land, do the valuation, compulsory acquire and set the funds aside for compensation. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: Today, if you go to the Lands Commission, I am very sure there may be no single money set aside for the compensation of these people. It is the same attitude. They may not do much or go anywhere. Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, I would like to request the Senate Committee on Roads and Transport that as they look into this particular Motion that they need to invite the National Land Commission to appear before them and tell the committee the nature of compensation they have put in place. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said it rightly that there are no title ... view
