• 23 Nov 2023 in Senate: Second, is the issue of compensation for the animals. In the last three years, we had a devastating drought. We need also to compensate owners. We must have animal or livestock insurance coverage. One interesting thing about animals is that it is not like having money in the bank. If you have 100 cows in some part of this country, bandits will strike, and you become poor. You cannot even afford a square meal. So, we should look at the compensation. Secondly is on slaughterhouses. Unawares, we could be funding bandits and cattle rustling because of the meat we consume ... view

• 23 Nov 2023 in Senate: Another aspect that came out is on sensitization of the people about the sad side effects of cattle rustling and banditry that has affected many families. In 2022 alone we lost 279 Kenyans. This was the number released by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. It was a light moment when one of the colleagues in this House said that we need to relook at the dowry negotiations because when you want to go and get married in some cultures, you must pay cows. The proposal from the Members, which is not captured - I hope it is a culture ... view

• 23 Nov 2023 in Senate: Therefore, it is not the intention of the law to convict every Kenyan. I know the police are doing a police operation order to restore sanity in Elgeyo-Marakwet, Baringo, Moyale, and Marsabit Counties among other areas. The fourth point is on the issue of admissibility. Let me collapse it into two. We need the Maraga Report. You heard what the Deputy President, Hon. Gachagua, said yesterday. I was with him in the same meeting. There will be at least a 40 per cent increment in the salaries and emoluments of the police. What we need to do is to ensure ... view

(Dr.) Khalwale, especially over the weekends, and I always doubt that he is not spiced with something. That is why he says he always shoots. When we meet with him on Monday, he is a good church boy, but over the weekend--- In the words of Ritchie Spice, as I conclude in replying, the title of the song is Gideon Boots, one of the verses says; - “Calling on the leaders of ... view
