• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I support this Bill. The Community Groups Registration Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 20 of 2021) is long overdue. We leaders know the role that Community Based Organisations (CBO’s) play in terms of creating opportunities for the many groups we have in the villages among the youth, women and men. There are so many CBOs that have been put in place. Women are good at organizing and running their community groups. I have interacted with a number of CBOs in Nandi County. A number of them that are view

• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: successful are either formed by and/or run by women. Men should learn something from the women on how to build good CBOs. This Bill proposes the establishment of the Office of the Director of Social Development which is important. I would like to make a few comments on the registration process of CBOs. We have been having problems where young people approach you and tell you when they go to the District Social Services, they have to pay Kshs1500 for registration. In some cases, others are required to pay Kshs5000. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is important that community groups be ... view

• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: so many funds that are given at the national level. It is hard to for the people on the ground to know because of lack of linkages to the CBOs. It is important that we have a Social Development Committee (SDC) that mobilise people when Community Based Organisations (CBOs) are doing capacity building and training within a county. It will be easy for formation. Madam Deputy Speaker, you have been in politics for long unlike some of us. You go to a village and people come to tell you that they want to form a group. You cannot help an ... view

• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and PWDs in the country have been given latitude. It could be a people from a lesser tribe or clan. This definition can encompass everything. Clause 13(1) and (2) of the Bill says: “(1) The Director shall, within fourteen days of receiving an application under section 9, either register or refuse to register a community group. (2) Where the Director refuses to register a community group, the Director shall notify the applicants of the refusal in writing setting out the reasons for refusal.” I think this is just basically principles of natural justice. What ... view

• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: aggrieved, then that matter can be referred to the decision of the director for appeal. That is Clause 26. The only issue I have is that to make it deterrent, --- Being a learned senior in this profession, Madam Temporary Speaker, it should be deterrent in a way. When you tell someone that it is an offence not to honor summonses and yet there are differences within the group arising from accountability, Kshs10,000 is too little. I wish that amount is raised to Kshs50,000 and failure to pay, you get a jail term of six months. Six months in jail ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: I know. I saw it, but I do not want to mention the name here. I wish her well and maybe in the future of the Senate, these are some of the issues that they can carry. I wish she would reconsider running for that seat using my vehicle so that we can be very good. The Senate Majority Leader, we support this Bill. Let us fast-track it and if there are amendments, allow it in the Committee of the Whole. Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker, for the good job you are doing. You are yet to declare your ambitions ... view
