• 10 May 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. From the onset, I want to commence by saying that this Sustainable Waste Management Bill is long overdue. One of the biggest challenges especially to growth of our cities, towns and centres has been how to manage waste management and the issue of solid waste management across our counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the biggest challenge even here in Nairobi City County being the capital city, for over the years, has been how to manage waste. If waste is not managed properly, it can become hazardous to public health. If we ... view

• 10 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really want to thank the Senate Majority Leader, Sen, Poghisio, for bringing this Bill as part of the legacy of Senate. It is Bill that has been generated by the National Assembly but it deserves our attention. Even, when you come to my small centre called Mosoriot Township, it has been hard for the county government to collect waste. Once in a while, they use a tractor but when you walk around Mosoriot Township, you find a lot of litter, solid waste and sewerage issues and this continues to be a threat. The same applies to ... view

• 10 May 2022 in Senate: One of the ways to ensure that some of these disputes are resolved is this National Environment Complains Committee (NECC). It is important. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my second point is on Clause 29. Looking at the Urban and Cities Act, the role of county governments should not be downplayed. One of the functions given to county governments is waste management. Therefore, it is very important that county governments play their critical role. This is the role of the Monitoring and Evaluation Authority (MEA) and it is very straightforward. I have seen in a particular clause – though I cannot trace ... view

• 10 May 2022 in Senate: In one of the leading television networks, I saw a story about neighbours in either Machakos or Mombasa Road, demanding the closure of a certain factory. We have been facing a similar challenge where I come from. I think the private sector continues to be a critical partner to ensure that the waste management is part of CSR that we are talking about. In Sen. Faki’s Mombasa County, they relocated the Kibarani Dumpsite. They have now planted trees on that piece of land and the place is now looking beautiful. view
• 10 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was using it as an example. When physical and urban planners attend interviews – not the ones we are seeing but of serious magnitude – they should be conversant with this law. I am not saying it in bad faith. It is good to attend interviews, including political ones. view
• 5 May 2022 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to thank and congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, who continues to leave an indelible legacy in this session. Mr. Speaker Sir, it has been long since I appeared here. I therefore, take this opportunity to thank the great people of Nandi County for having faith in me to continue to serve and represent them in this House as a Member of the Senate. You are aware that we just concluded the United Democratic alliance (UDA) nominations which I won by a landslide. I thank them for having faith in me. I thank the ... view
