• 17 May 2022 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 Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we expect that before we go for the adjournment, at least in the next one or two weeks, we should know what really happened with those funds. If it is possible, the county government must tell us what they are doing. Is there proper signage to prevent further deaths and fatalities in that region? When we investigated in Nandi County, for example, there was a huge misuse and abuse of resources. The contractor refused to appear before the County Assembly of Nandi County simply because he is connected to the governor. Even two dogs cannot fit side ... view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Abdul Haji for bringing the Committee Statement. One of the statements mentioned has not been addressed fully. My Statement was on the investigation on the concerted effort by the regulator and the DCI to close some of the retail businesses that manufacture liquefied gas in the country. The Committee has not invited me to get the feedback nor the response from EPRA. The DCI, in conjunction with some people within African Institute--- normally go to the outskirts of the City and intimidate people who run industries that deal with LPG gases. The ... view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: That issue was never addressed fully. I hope you give directions to Sen. Haji and his Committee to relook at the issue I raised. This is because nothing has been done. It is sad when they conduct crackdowns using the DCI. If you have a gas plant in Mombasa, Kisumu or Bungoma, they bring the lorry and other installments to DCI headquarters. There is a case that is active in court. For example, if the case is in Eldoret, how do you bring the evidence to DCI headquarters, yet the case is in another jurisdiction? view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as a learned senior, you know better. How can a magistrate prosecute a matter where the evidence is elsewhere? These are things that the Committee should relook at and recommend accordingly. The ever-rising cost of fuel in the country has significantly led to the rising cost of living. We have seen demonstrations across the country. People assume that it is only in North Eastern, Turkana and other areas like Upper Eastern where people are suffering from hunger. In fact, it is worse in Nairobi. Many people in the slums, the urban poor, cannot afford a meal. Majority ... view

• 17 May 2022 in Senate: they cannot afford the fare. Those with cars go walking in Nyayo Stadium or run around their estates in the morning to cut weight. It is the fallacy of life. The point is that the cost of fuel keeps the cost of living high. I hope the Committee has an exit report which will be its last report. It should recommend to the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), in all honesty and fairness, to try and arrest the ever-rising cost of fuel in the country. We are being told it is pegged on the dollar and the Ukraine crisis. ... view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: In as much as we receive reports and analyze them, we expect the Committee to give policy and legislative interventions that can guard and ring-fence Kenyans. I want to confirm that the Government of Kenya Kwanza, God-willing form September, will try and fix some of these things and ensure the cost of living comes down. We will ensure everybody in Nairobi, especially the urban poor, together with those in North-Eastern and any part of that region, do not go to bed hungry. view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: I hope the Committee on Energy has noted my concerns and will allow me to get the feedback. We had gone for nominations and may be they invited me when I was not around. Now that nominations are behind us, they can be courteous enough so that I can look at the responses that they provided. view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank Sen. Kwamboka for bringing the Statement on behalf of an important committee. This is one of the important committees that should be working round the clock, considering that the issue of homeland or internal security is critical and important to our nation. It happens every day. There are many issues that happen across the country that need to be addressed. In fact, Members of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations should be on call, just like doctors, because of many issues in the country. The Senator has read an elaborate report. Unfortunately, ... view
