• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. It is important. These are House procedures--- view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Our students should learn about the issue of quorum. According to Standing Order No. 39, we should have a minimum of 15 Senators in the House to allow business of the House to proceed. I was raising the issue of Clause 23(1) (d), on the role of county governments. It states- “Regulate the cutting or destruction of cotton in order to conserve and protect the resources devoted to the cotton industry in the respective county” This is one of the colonials and relic sections of the law that was in the Tea Act. I hope and pray that Clause 23(1) ... view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: It is not a security issue that people might want to go and uproot cotton from somewhere in Busia, Homabay or Mombasa. It is just like any other crop thus the practicability on the importation of the law will be simple. How many farms can the police walk into when we are doing badly? It is one police officer against more than 3,000 people. In fact, we are not meeting the threshold of the United Nations (UN) as recommended. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if we cannot be protected at that level, then the justification of the importation of that part of the law needs to be re-looked. When you look at the licensing of manufacturers, we are creating it as if it is elitist. The Hustler Fund is giving money to individuals, Savings, and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) who should be given an opportunity to develop their own manufacturing process of cotton ginnery. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: This part of the law will make the bourgeoisie, the wealthy and the elitist smile all the way to the bank yet we are talking about ‘bottom-up.’ We need to think about the people at the bottom as we go up. I can see Sen. Ogola smiling shyly because she is enjoying the gospel. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Under Clause 23 states- view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: “A person shall not engage in the manufacturing or processing of cotton products unless such person has applied for and obtained a license in accordance with this law.” view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that is why our brothers and sisters from your side always say the ease of doing business in Kenya is cumbersome. Have you walked into some of these shops in Nairobi where our brother Sen. Sifuna is from? You walk into a shop; you will see so many licenses on the wall from public health, copyright society, National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) and many others. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: How can we talk about ease of doing business when we are not looking at countries such as Rwanda or Singapore? Why are we creating another license under this law? We might even come up with a Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Services (KEPHIS) license, Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI) and the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA). What we should be doing is synchronizing the issuance of licenses. For example, if you have the AFA license, we use it for issue of agriculture products. Demand for many licenses will create corruption. view
