• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Secondly, as my brother Sen. Osotsi has stated, the SRC is on a mission to not only kill the MCAs, but dismember them. How do you put tax on a car grant? That is why I said yesterday that SRC is nowadays usurping powers that do not belong to them. Their role is just to advise. If we are not careful in the words of a famous philosopher, it will be like “when they came for the MCAs, no one spoke for them, when they came for governors, no one spoke for them, when it will come before the Senate, ... view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to get into the ‘bullfighting’ for now. I support the petitioners. This Petition is properly before the House. What we have in this country is infrastructural evictees. We have had forest evictees and squatters. We are creating another set of evictees, who are called infrastructural evictees in the country. This issue of Buxton has appeared on the Floor of the Senate before. I am sitting next the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing. I was asking him where he can crosscheck his legacy report and see where the issue of ... view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: In conclusion, I appeal to the Government agencies that before evicting people, like what happened in Ruai and in this city, they should follow the law. Do not just evict Kenyans for the sake of expediency. Even if the President wants the affordable housing to succeed and we support him in this, eviction should be done in a humane manner. There should be compensation to the affected and the rule of law should be applied. I support the Petition and hope that when it is handed over to the relevant Committee, we will be invited to be part of the ... view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to pick it up from where Sen. Okiya Omtatah has stopped. If we continue becoming tenants in our country, we risk IMF Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) that other countries do not get from the IMF. view

• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: The issue of public debt is well captured in Article 214 of our Constitution. As a country, we must agree that we must have a sustainable debt. It is very unfortunate as a country that for the last so many years, we have had insatiable appetite toward borrowing. The worst part is that we are borrowing to finance the recurrent expenditure. If we were borrowing to finance development, it will be easy to see value. You can see, for example, in the year 2011, when the Late President Mwai Kibaki left office, the public debt that was standing was Kshs5.0 ... view

• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, just give me one minute so that I wrap it up in a neat manner. Just a minute, with your indulgency because I was being taken over by the spirit of paying tax. The tax exemptions and relief that was given by the KRA is enough for us to not have deficit in our budget. I appeal for discipline and prudent management of public debt. I support this Motion and thank the Committee for exceptional work that they did. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the point of order that has been raised under Standing Order 65 by the Majority Whip is within his right. We are aware in the Constitution of Kenya, under Article 1(2) that the people may exercise their sovereign power either directly or through their democratically elected representatives. Madam Temporary Speaker, I invite you to look at Article 93 on the establishment of Parliament. (1) There is an established Parliament of Kenya, which shall consist of the National Assembly and the Senate. (2) The National Assembly and the Senate shall perform their respective functions in accordance with the ... view
