• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset before I support your statement, I want to congratulate my friend, Governor Oparanya, the new Cabinet Secretary for the good job he is doing in the coffee and other subsectors. Madam Temporary Speaker, sorry for saying this, but there is a perception in this country that coffee is only grown in Kenya or Murima. However, coffee is grown across the country, including Nandi, Bungoma, Kakamega, Machakos, Makueni and many other areas. Madam Temporary Speaker, in line with the Coffee Cherry Fund under the Coffee Bill, what are the strategies alongside Kimuri Factory ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I support this Motion as passed by the National Assembly and the Senate, and congratulate Sen. Crystal Asige. I know we have come a long way with this Bill. I request indulgence of chairpersons, that in future, when they are midwifing a Bill that belongs to a Member, they should at least allow a Member to second, so that at least they continue owning the baby. Secondly, this Motion and report is just a clean-up. I want to congratulate the National Assembly. For the first time, at least, they have processed one ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: shows the awareness of all leaders on the role of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) or people who are differently abled. I have seen most of the amendments that have been proposed by the National Assembly. I do not think that the Senate will have a contention. Speaking for myself and I think a number of colleagues, it is more of a clean-up. Just a few amendments that were introduced, and I find it non-contentional and with the consent of the owner of the Bill, Sen. Crystal Asige, it should not be a problem. Just to make a comment, because this ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: If you remember, yesterday, and I think you were on the seat also, we were discussing the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, and we were saying let us increase the punitive fine, so that people can implement the law. This is such that when we tell counties to employ five percent of PwDs and they violate it, we have a mechanism of punishing those aggressors, both at the national and county levels. Thirdly, I agree the headquarters should be in Nairobi although we need to agree that sometimes with the advent of devolution, let us have branches in Bomet, Nandi, Mombasa, ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on this one I can allow Sen. Cheruiyot to inform me. view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. Thank you to the Majority Leader. I will borrow his notes after I finish submitting. I am willing. I am happy because the Majority Leader said he will support me. So, he will mobilise the numbers, because he is the owner of the baby. I will be the foster father of the process. Therefore, in the principle of equity, I agree with the Majority Leader. Now let every Kenyan feel that they are part of this country. While we say the Council should remain in Nairobi, let us get an office in Bungoma or any ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: You want 10 percent? Yeah, but let us start with five percent so that they can be reserved. In the interest of my colleagues who also want to comment on this Motion, I want to support this Motion. It is a straightforward one, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to comment on the issue of digital taxi operators; an issue that we have spoken about and said that at least the baseline should be Kshs300 when you are hiring or using a digital taxi operator. Looking at the operational cost, the cost of fuel and spare parts is also high, yet, most of the taxi operators who operate these digital taxi operators online are young people. Now that the public service cannot accommodate everybody, please, let this House ensure that the compliance and operational costs should be increased so that we ... view
• 1 Apr 2025 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 and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Assembly. The Senior Counsel, who is the Senator of Nyamira County, should have informed us. Perhaps he assumed that there is judicial notice of what is happening. Anything that has been passed, and the Senior counsel knows, is illegal. Any budget approvals that the Governor has passed in Nyamira County Assembly are illegal. Therefore, the dysfunctionality of Nyamira County Assembly is not by default, but by design, by the County Executive. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) should know that the more they perpetuate the dysfunctionality of the County Assembly of Nyamira, they are undermining and killing ... view
