• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to make four points on the Adoption of the Mediation Committee Report on the Water (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.33 of 2023). I was on Clause 11, where we said that the Water Sector Trust Fund should remain with counties. This is because most of the funding comes from the counties. I would like to inform the House that with the affordable housing programme of the Government, we need water and sanitation. I can give you statistics for the benefit of the House. According to the Kenya Bureau of Statistics (KBS), in 2023, ... view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, only on the word ‘chang’aa, but not the word ‘favourite’ drink. The Speaker allowed it. I have said, ‘favourite’ drink, Everybody, including Sen. Eddy and Sen. Chute has a favourite drink. In conclusion, in reference to the water tariffs, we must have WASREB as the regulator. There are many water tankers in the city. It is very expensive for families. Sixty percent of households spend on food, domestic water, being part of it. Are you aware that the moment you have people accessing unclean water, there will be many diseases? That translates to the need for treatment. ... view

• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52(1) to make a statement on an issue of general topical concern and national importance, namely: Ruth Chepng’etich’s incredible performance in shattering the women’s Marathon World record and the overall superb performance of the Kenyan team at the Chicago Marathon on Sunday, 13th October, 2024. Once again, our athletes have brought glory to our country. Ruth Chepng’etich broke the women’s marathon world record at the same event where the late legend, Kevin Kiptum set the men’s marathon world record last year in Chicago. He also run under two hours. Ruth Chepng’etich ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: was followed by Ethiopia’s Mohamed Esa who finished at 2:04:39 and our own who is also my good friend and neighbour in Nandi, the home of champions, Amos Kipruto, in the third position at 2:04:50. Other Kenyans, Vincent Kipng’etich and Daniel Ebenyo also finished strongly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was also dis-heartening to witness a section of the media across the world, castigating unwarranted doubts and aspersions on our athletes; questing their integrity and accusing them of doping without following the due process. These are established standards and procedures including multiple anti-doping tests conducted before and after major competitions. Ruth ... view

The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: I would like to also thank the Senate Majority and Minority leaders for ensuring that we got nominated to the Mediation Committee. We shall not forget their favour, before the eyes of the Lord. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Clause 19, we agreed that a miller shall not purchase sugar crop from or accept sugar crop delivered by a grower, and a grower shall not sell or deliver sugar crop to a miller unless the grower is registered or has a valid supply agreement with the miller. This is because, most of the sugar companies do not do cane development. So, ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Kapkeben, all the way to Mumbwa, which neighbours Aaron Cheruiyot’s county, the roads are impassible, yet there is a lot of money that is paid through Cess. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the wisdom of the Committee, which you appointed, we thought the Cess should go back to the Kenya Sugar Board so that they can assist in maintenance of infrastructure. In fact, in the definition, we did not say only roads, we said bridges, murram roads, grading and access so that farmers in Homabay and Kakamega counties, when delivering sugar cane to either Butere or Mumias, are using well maintained ... view
