• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing on the status of rehabilitation and expansion of Airports and Airstrips in Kenya. In the Statement, the Committee should: (1) report on the progress made in the rehabilitation and expansion of airports and airstrips in Kenya, highlighting the completion status of each project; (2) provide details of how allocation of Kshs1 billion towards airports and airstrips targeted for rehabilitation and expansion will be distributed; and further state the feasibility of the entire project; (3) indicate the ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I congratulate Sen. Mumma for this wonderful Motion. As we go into the future, there are many things that were not regulated and they are yet to be recognised. Many years ago when we came up with the Tobacco Control Act Cap 245A, people knew the traditional smoking and buying the physical cigarette. That is why aspects such as smoking zones were designated. I think that debate was there when some of us were still very young. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: I have interacted with a very senior person about these e-cigarettes. I do not want to divulge who he was. It was in New York at the United Nations General Assembly in 2017 and at that time, e-cigarettes had not become common. The cigarette was associated with the cool kids and people with means. We were in a small room in one of the seven- star hotels in Manhattan, New York. We did not find it unusual because we did not notice anything unusual until we were shown an e-cigarette. You do not see the smoke but you just see ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: We are headed to December and culturally, my people hold the rite of initiation of young people. It happens even in Western where my neighbour, Sen. Mumma, comes from. In as much as we are allowed to take some substances up to some level, it has not reached this level. We normally ask the Government to give us freedom in the month of December. However, those things that we indulge in, have not reached this level of causing cancer. That is the beauty of African tradition and our local cuisine and drinks. In fact, some of these drinks do not ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: You have your son and daughter who cannot wake up before midday because they were on TikTok the whole night till early morning. That is what encouraged paedophile activities. There was even a girl who was rescued from going to Zambia to look for someone. That is why we must agree on the issue of online marketing. The amendment that Sen. Mumma will bring will be very important. I urge Sen. Mumma to work hard because Wananchi notice such efforts. When your time comes, you will reap. They say you reap what you sow. I support this Motion and hope ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order Nos.96 and 101, we need to be responsible in the statements that we make. This is a House of rules and order. Therefore, to assert that I am being treated with kid gloves is misleading. This is because I have received the punishment. The fact is that on several occasions, I have suffered the punishment like Sen. Sifuna. So, it depends with the offence that you have committed. It is good that Sen. Murango should be attending sessions. When I declined to sit, the punishment I received was to be chased out of ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 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 Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am mad because you can imagine, as a man, if somebody accused you of requesting for sexual favours. We cannot be intimidated. view
• 19 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I want also to join you in welcoming several guests. Today, the Senate has a lot of guests from students to visiting delegations. I want from the onset to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Kamar, Deputy Speaker Emeritus, for bringing this Bill; the Kenya Sign Language Bill (Senate Bills No. 9 of 2023). I was asking myself whether it is possible to have what we call the Special Needs Bill so that we include everybody like the deaf, the blind, the mute and others, so that we do not have to do legislation per ... view
