• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that indulgence. Just to comment on the two Statements by Sen. Okenyuri about the border issues. We have the County Boundaries Bill, which I do not know how far it has gone. I think it will assist in resolving some of those issues. The governments of Kenya and Uganda enjoy a cordial working relationship. Perhaps the diplomatic corps, the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs and the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development should take a lead because we do not want to lose any part of this country; not even an inch. ... view
• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: The biggest culprits are county governments because they award tenders to tenderpreneurs. Those are people beyond 35 years. Young people are relegated only to being hired during political rallies and for other issues that do not assist them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I expected Sen. Nyamu to include in that Statement--- view
• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I support this wonderful Bill by Sen. Orwoba. I know she has undergone many challenges until this Bill has finally come on the Floor. This is one of the Bills that has generated interests and express opinions from many individuals who do not want to be held accountable. I am happy that the Konza Technopolis Bill of 2023 is finally here. I therefore thank Sen. Orwoba. I see she has seized the moment and is doing a wonderful job. Those of us who have been around for some time can only tell ... view
• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: We have had cases of some organizations like Safaricom who are storing their data in other countries and thereby denying us revenue. We hardly get anything from Meta which owns Facebook. We are the leading country in usage of internet. Therefore, we must hold these companies including Meta to account. They should pay taxes to enable us fix our economy. We cannot allow them to run away. Madam Temporary Speaker, you have heard of Elon Musk. Is he the richest person on earth? You know there is a difference between being rich and wealthy. If you are wealthy, then your ... view
• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: authority do not come. There is a famous saying in the French Revolution that “absolute power corrupts absolutely”. This is what is happening in Konza Technopolis. I only have one problem; why is it an offense for you to account for taxpayers’ money? I thought everybody in this country should be happy when you are called to account for the money that the public gives you. This is a public entity. We know of many companies such as Huawei and Samsung that have pitched tents in Konza Technopolis. Kenyans must get value. Madam Temporary Speaker, you are a learned senior ... view
• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: want to work for Kenyans. If you want to work for Kenyans, you do not need to duplicate a Bill, you appear as a brilliant fool. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the powers of the board, I agree with the Bill. However, I ask Sen. Orwoba, since she is one of us and a youthful person, to at least not put in too many years of experience. She should just put around five years. I remember when we were pushing for the County Attorney Act, we had a push and pull. People wanted ten years’ experience as a lawyer to be ... view
• 20 Jul 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, let us have an honest conversation. I ask the clergy and the people who are giving the clarion call for engagement, what should we engage about? Why have elections then? Why should we not sit as the political class chini ya miti in some village, either in Kisii County where Sen. Orwoba comes from and share seats. Why should we disturb Kenyans after every four years? We sell our agenda, manifestos, campaign and use resources and then afterwards, we come and tell the Nation that we do not agree with those elections. There is no value of ... view
• 18 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to comment on the Statements by Sen. Munyi Mundigi and Sen. Chute. I thank the Government for the subsidised programme on fertiliser. We need to ensure that in future, we devolve this to a certain level of either ward or sub-county to ease access to farmers. view
• 18 Jul 2023 in Senate: Secondly, when I met farmers at the Bonjoge area in Kabwareng Ward, they requested that the subsidised fertiliser should come a bit early around November or December. view
• 18 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thirdly, we should not limit subsidised fertiliser to maize only. They want it included for coffee, sugarcane and tea. I believe we had a robust discussion under the leadership of His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua when we were doing tea reforms in Kericho County. view
