• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: On the second part about the Deputy Senate Majority Whip, when I say, “to impress someone,” it could mean impressing Kenyans, who she is working for. She could also be impressing the people where she comes from, voters or the Senate Majority Leader. I do not think that is an offence. When you work, you impress your voters. I made it in good faith. It shows that she is working. I do not need to withdraw that, but on the part of Prof. Magoha, I withdraw and apologise unreservedly. ( Loud Consultations) view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker; this is a straightforward amendment. I congratulate Sen. (Eng.) Maina, the Senator of Nyeri County and the incoming governor. I assure him that when I was the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights we did not procrastinate, which is why those changes happened. The Committee at that time was undergoing a lot of challenges and changes. I am happy that my successor, the good learned Senior and one of the few Senior Counsel, Sen. Omogeni, has done very well. Nicknames are known as majina ya kimajazi in Kiswahili. There are ... view

• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: “hustler”, “Baba” or “Kirinyaga”. At the end of the day, that is what voters will identify with. We know several politicians whose real names we do not know. As Madam Temporary Speaker, you have rightly put the voters and the people know them through their nicknames that they have acquired over time, for example, wamashati and Wamatangi. When you ask, they say it was maybe somebody who was donating tanks and they decided to call him Wamatangi. Sen. (Eng.) Maina has come up with a brilliant idea, especially to the political class. It will help the voters not to get ... view
• 17 Feb 2022 in Senate: When this amendment is passed and fast-tracked, it will be easy to use the name that is most popular on the ground. When someone loses an election, they will always have an excuse. One of the excuses they use is to claim that they were popular, but when they went to the ballot they lost because their popular names were not there. This will end. People will not have an excuse of saying that their popular names were not used at the ballot. Let us support this Bill. I hope we will conclude it today when Division comes and vote ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. From the onset, I want to congratulate my neighbour, Sen. Nyamunga, for this brilliant Bill called The County Resource Development Bill, 2021. I hope when the time comes, she will be rewarded accordingly in Kisumu County, just as we are rewarded in heaven. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: There are two issues I want to point out about this Bill, which is unique. I know most of my colleagues have talked extensively in terms of resource exploitation. I think every county has a unique resource. When you go to Kisumu County where Sen. Nyamunga comes from, they have Lake Victoria where fishing is done. A new port is also being developed there. In Nandi, apart from agriculture, we have gold around Chemelil/Chemase area. We have many other unique resources. A petition was brought to this House concerning exploitation of gold in Chemelil/Chemase. Up to now, we have never ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the pro rata is 70 per cent to the national Government, 20 per cent to the county government and 10 per cent to the neighbouring community in terms of resource allocation in a county. We, the people of Nandi, are yet to know the true value of exploitation of gold. Opportunities can be created and the community can benefit from the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). I agree that this Bill will assist in mapping out the legal framework on exploitation. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we also have Sitatunga. King’wal in Nandi County is the only place in the country where you can find animals called Sitatunga. That is a natural resource. Many people are talking about exploitation of resources and this law provides for that. view
