• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: The challenge with county governments is own source revenue. If we have a law that will allow counties to map out and exploit resources, like in Homa Bay County, it will be easy for counties not to depend on the shared revenue from Nairobi. If counties become creative and exploit resources within, they will get own source revenue. As it is, the allocation to the national Government is 70, 20 per cent for county government and 10 per cent to the immediate community. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: We have always had challenges when it comes to natural resources. For example, we had an oil crisis in Turkana. Tullow Oil Company sorted the national and county governments but did not sort the locals. That led to a standoff over the oil exploitation by Tullow Oil Company, yet they are yet to disclose. Millions of shillings have been factored in the Tullow Oil Project in Turkana County, yet the people of Turkana are yet to benefit. Exploitation of resources will ensure that people get value for money. We will also have employment opportunities created and benefit from the CSR. ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: When you look at the Democratic Republic of Congo - I hope the Ambassador will not have a problem - we are having a problem because of this issue of minerals. We really need to agree on this resource exploitation. view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: and the North Rift Economic Bloc (NOREP) from us coming from North Rift. There is also the Lake Region Economic Block (LREB). It is important to have a legal framework. For example, in the North Rift, the only time we can work is to discuss issues of farming. Agriculture is dominant in the North Rift. We also have issues of insecurity and infrastructure that can be discussed. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: I do not know why the Senate Majority Leader is in a hurry yet he has not been in the House for a while now. He should relax. I am making a point about insecurity in the North Rift. He should be grateful that I am mentioning the issues of Kerio before the Republic of Kenya. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: I do not want to take a lot of time. I was just demonstrating that when you come to the North Rift, we have unique issues, for example, the issue of farming. If we were to work with development partners, it would be on the issue of fertilizers, which is a problem. A bag of fertilizer is now almost Kshs6,800. However, I know under the incoming government of the bottoms-up economy model and the hustler nation, we hope to buy a bag of fertilizer at Kshs1,800 because we do not want handouts to be given to anybody. Mr. Temporary Speaker, ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I know these amendments have generated a lot of political heat but let me congratulate my lecturer, Sen. Murkomen, for this wonderful thought to the hustlers. Most of the hustlers were not able to go beyond primary or secondary school because of the hardship of getting school fees. In terms of access of education, Kenya has come of age. Education is a basic Human rights as per our Article 43 of the Constitution, on economic and social rights. Right to quality education is one of the basic rights. We have seen ... view
