• 11 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by my neighbour Sen. Rose Nyamunga. Anything that makes it unable for a body to function properly or optimally should be considered a disability. As a country we have come a long way since 2003 when the Disability Act was passed by Parliament. We need to know that we should go beyond the tradition disability that all of us have known like being unable to use your legs, ears or eyes. The world has moved on. People living with sickle cell disease should be considered as part of people living with ... view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I raise too support the Motion on the alteration of the Senate calendar. I agree that last year, the country had a lot of a problem because of COVID-19. We are living a new normal. The Government has done away with containment measures and the organizers of the devolution conference have insisted that people who will attend the session are people who are fully vaccinated. As we plan to attend the Devolution Conference 2021, we need to use the forum to encourage Kenyans to get vaccinated so that we can resume our normal lives. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: Secondly, I know governors have taken a forefront in the planning of the devolution conference. I urge our colleagues, especially who want to become governors to be there so that we can stock take. We are lucky, Mr. Speaker, you have wealth of experience serving as the Speaker of the Senate and also being a governor of Bungoma County. Hon. Senators, we must be at the forefront of the devolution conference. The only way we can do oversight is by also sitting and listening to the devolution success. It is almost nine years since devolution started. This is the right ... view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: does not mean that we unnecessarily attack each other. Sometimes, it is important to sit and agree. May be when we exchange those ideas we will do an oversight better. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: I want to challenge that, when that time comes I hope three quarters of our colleagues will be there led by Sen. Wambua so that he can learn from the best practices as he embarks on a very serious journey ahead before the general elections. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we hope with the guidance of your office, we shall be facilitated--- view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, both can be journeys widening and deepening devolution. In the context of learning from the challenges and successes of devolution, I know Sen. Wambua, God willing, might be having an interest of becoming the future Governor of Kitui County. I am not saying that he will run for governor in 2022, but in the future. We should take stock of both the successes and challenges that we are facing with devolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know very well that every politician must have an ambition. You never know about the future. The same applies even to yours ... view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: Okay. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I conclude you know Sen. (Dr.) Langat is abusing student-teacher privilege if there exists such a thing because in legal practice there is client-advocate privilege. So, I want to request him that he does not need to go to that direction. All said and done, I support this Adjournment Motion. I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader for bringing it. All of us should be there. Let us do stock taking. I hope we can find a way of ensuring the people become part of the process and understand devolution so that they do not ... view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, I thank you and hope all our colleagues will be there to celebrate the final devolution conference. view
• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement and add that we have had similar issues even in Nandi, Turkana and Coastal counties. In Nandi County, for example, we have gold. However, the people of Chemelil and Chemase are yet to benefit and we neighbour Kisumu County. I have seen the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining is constructing a gold mining company within Kakamega County. It is high time we relooked at the local content on how we share because the sharing should be 70 per cent to National Government, 20 per cent to the county government and 10 ... view
