• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, This Water (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.33 of 2023) is interesting. I will make a few remarks on it so that other Members can also have a chance. We prioritise Bills from the National Assembly. I hope that in future, the National Assembly will also prioritise our Bills. Most of the time we give priority to Bills from the National Assembly. We will convince our brothers and sisters in the “Lower” House to prioritise our Bills, especially on enriching, widening and developing devolution in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to pass ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: My third point is that there is nothing unusual about this Bill because I have studied it carefully. It seeks to ensure that each and every Kenyan gets access to water. I remember we had an issue with the Murang’a Water Tunnel that was supposed to supply water for domestic and industrial use in this city. One of the biggest challenges in Nairobi City County and other major towns in this country is access to clean and safe water. Almost 80 per cent of diseases are water- borne diseases, which are as a result of consumption of dirty water. Mr. ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I may not be an expert in linguistics, but all Luhya languages are similar unless there is a difference of dialect. I did not mention any particular tribe. He has confirmed that he is Teso. Teso and Luhya languages are almost similar, but with different dialects. Ironically, part of LVNWWDA is in Nandi. The Human Resource (HR) is from Nandi, but when you go to the people who work there, you do not see the face of where the waterworks covers. That is my concern. I wish we could even see the face of Kenya even if ... view

• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I request that you protect me from Sen. Mumma. There is also the provision that the national public water shall not be transferable to a county government. This is an open explanation because if you were to discuss about Tanathi today, it covers a number of counties. Same to Lake Victoria North, Central Water Works, Lake Victoria South and even Coast Water Works. It covers a number of counties. Therefore, you cannot transfer to individual counties. It is a basic explanation. I agree with the initial proposal that we must find a way of synchronising and ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: take some of the products yet we have CAK, CPU, Kenya Bureau of Standards (KBS) and Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA)? When you discuss with many businessmen, especially in Eastleigh, most of those powder milk were cleared at the Port of Mombasa. Why would you come and look for a small trader somewhere in Tala or somewhere in Machakos and come in commando style yet there are agencies that you should have called upon including CAK, CPU and Federation of Consumer? There are processes that we must do to protect our people. We are assuming that we are reactionary. We do ... view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: No, I can get information at the lounge while having tea with her so that I conclude. view
• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know that I have a right to decline the information. I do not know why she is worked up. I will listen to her in private. She better advise me in private. As I was saying, it is good to see my Chairperson back. I saw him endorsing his party leader to run for the African Union (AU) Chairmanship in the coming elections. I can see that he is very happy. With all intents, I assure that this amendment is for the betterment of devolution. It does not in any way undermine devolution. We want ... view

• 15 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise under Standing Order No.37 to move that we discuss an issue of a national definite importance on the untimely demise of the legend, the (GOAT) or Greatest of all Times, the late Kelvin Kiptum, who died through a tragic road accident a few days ago. Madam Temporary Speaker, he was an important asset to this country. Even as we discuss or eulogize the death of Kelvin Kiptum, we have, unfortunately, today in the afternoon got an official statement that we have also lost the great marathoner, who used to refer ... view
