• 25 May 2023 in Senate: I have sat in the Committee on Public Accounts and seen way governors are raising their own source revenue through single business permits. You walk into an office and the whole wall is mosaic. You no longer see the colour of the paint of that shop because everybody comes with a license. You board a Matatu on your way to Kitengela or Ngong, I am told those are the nearest places. You cannot listen to the song titled, ‘ Enda uskievibaya uko kwenu’ because the copyright society officers can walk into the matatu and ask for the license allowing you ... view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: The Senate must think of ways of resolving that at the lowest level. I can see a number of serious colleagues here. I ask Sen. Sifuna to advise Governor Sakaja to streamline the issuance of licenses. They are destroying and frustrating our hustlers. The 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: other night, I saw some hawkers selling shoes to Sen. Sifuna at night. I do not want to imagine Sen. Sifuna is not only active at night. I hope that he is also active during the day. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I had only five points to the aspect of revocation of license. My proposal is, it should be easy to give you the license, but hard to revoke it. That should be easier so that you protect the business. Somebody can be malicious and decide to withdraw your license. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: It is stated in this Bill that the funds of the boards shall consist of monies appropriated by Parliament. Where is the money? It is good that Sen. Beth Syengo is part of the people questioning the Finance Bill 2023. How can we get the money if you do not allow us to pass the Bill to get the money to appropriate this board? We have said that the house levy fund is only at three per cent of the basic salary. A figure of Kshs2,500 will be deducted from the high-income earners. The Government, the biggest employer, will match ... view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you need to protect me from my Chairman, Sen. M. Kajwang’, and Sen. Olekina. I do not know what they are eating, but it looks like they are on a serious mission. When you say that you need to appropriate money, where do you get it if we do not collect it through taxes? Currently, the debt ceiling that was raised by the 12th Parliament is Kshs8 trillion. As of today, the local and foreign debt of this country is Kshs9.4 trillion. view
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: It is either we tax or borrow more money. Borrowing more is no longer sustainable because the country might not repay within time. We might default and lose serious national strategic assets. I remember our former President when he was being interviewed in Mombasa; he said he would disclose the agreement with the Chinese company that financed the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). However, no disclosure was ever made. We do not know whether the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) or the port of Mombasa was used as collateral. With time, the credit worthiness and raising of taxes and revenue becomes ... view

• 25 May 2023 in Senate: criminal law, know that we should make it deterrent to discourage people. If we set a figure of Kshs20,000, someone will easily pay. Why do we not increase the figure to Kshs1.5 million or Kshs1 million to deter? The aim for provision of an offence of sentencing and punishment is to deter individuals from participating in the offence. You can increase and put up to three years maximum jail term or both. I agree with you on the aspect of corporate governance, especially on lifting the veil if you misappropriate the funds. Sen. Beth Syengo, through you Madam Temporary Speaker, ... view
