• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My Statement will be in English. My apologies to the people who have gotten used to reading in Swahili. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Information, Communication and Technology concerning reported cases of breach of sensitive personal customer data at the Naivas chain Supermarkets. In the Statement, the Committee should - (1) State the measures the retail chain has implemented to protect, prevent, and mitigate breaches involving staff, suppliers, and customer data in the Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) platform from future hacking incidents ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. From the onset, I congratulate Sen. Mariam Omar for this wonderful Bill, the County Licensing Uniform Procedure Bill, 2022. Devolution continues to be strengthened by legislative and policy interventions that as a Parliament and we, as a Senate, continue to enrich it daily. The genesis of this Bill is well grounded under the Fourth Schedule of the Functions of County Governments. Under Article 209 on Imposition of Taxes, the national and county Governments, respectively, have been given opportunity to impose taxes. This issue of taxation has The electronic version of the ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: generated a lot of heat. As you are aware, the Finance Act of 2023 has been suspended by the courts and we are waiting for the ruling. Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no way a government, be it the national Government or the county governments can raise revenue without taxation. As I second this Bill, there are two things that are sure in life; tax and death. I have seen our colleagues saying that they do not want to pay taxes because apparently, the budget must be funded by taxation. Taxes must be raised and that is the principle ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: like tissue papers. Sorry to say this, but we must be very careful so that we do not run a country where you want to injunct--- You remember in the other financial year, you heard the former President saying that over Kshs310 billion in Government projects had been stopped by court orders and injunctions. How can Kenyans get value for money if you go and injunct? The principle of Article 209, the President cannot raise taxes alone; it is a constitutional principle. That is why this Bill is very important because we want to create a county licensing law that ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Another point is to ensure information and I have seen one of the aspects is to create digitization under the Bill. Before I move to digitalization, the issue of information is basic under Articles 34 and 35 of the Constitution on the right to information and the right to media which is very critical. Clause 5(a) to respond to changes in the market; customer preferences and tastes change daily. What your generation used to like is totally different from what your children or the consumer like. Nowadays they prefer Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) while Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale used to like ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: One of them is to ensure that since the young people want a paperless generation, let them be given services in a paperless manner. This is the conversation we should have as a country. This is the bipartisan talks that we were talking about. We did not need to go to maandamano to bring such Bills to strengthen the devolution. All of us have been elected to sit in this House with the power that the rest of Kenyans do not have. We are less than 3,000, including Members of County Assembly. We have the power to make, amend and ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, maybe I request for a point of information from you. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: My apologies, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I presumed. Let us not lie to Kenyans. Let all leaders come to Parliament. If you are a parliamentarian sit here and do your job. Do not go and throw stones in the streets and incite the public to destroy property and lives. I sympathize and empathize with many Kenyans who have lost their lives. I saw the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) reading a statement on allegations of police brutality and extra-judicial killings yet no one is talking about Kitengela where some people attacked a District County Commissioner’s (DCC) office. A ... view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, for that point of order. Sen. Wakoli is picking up unparliamentary procedures. Having picked up from Sen. Wetangula, the current Speaker of the National Assembly. view
