• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 35, which states that: „A quorum of the Senate or of a Committee of the Whole shall be fifteen Senators‟ Looking around, I can confirm that the House does not have the necessitated number of Senators. I request that you to guide us. view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I request that the Members online be counted. view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I support the report by the Committee on Finance and Budget. As a country, we must look into the future of sustainable public debt. As Parliament, we must also look at the debt register of this Republic. We agree that at the moment, the information that we have is that we are Kshs7.7 trillion in public debt. I opposed when the National Treasury raised the public debt ceiling to Kshs7.7 trillion. So, if they raise it to Kshs12 trillion, I will still oppose. As a country, we must have a sustainable debt because the loans that we ... view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I was seconding The Heritage and Museums Bill, 2021, and will not take more than 10 minutes. I just want to wrap up what I was saying, so that other Members can have an opportunity to contribute. view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: What is important in this Bill is realignment for participation of county governments, especially on issues of museums and other heritages. During my previous remarks, I indicated that we have special places of heritage and museums in Nandi, like Koitalel arap Samoei Museum, thanks to President Kibaki‟s Government that ensured we have it. view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: During the first term of the Jubilee Government, they gave a charter to Koitalel Samoei University College, which is a recognition of the Nandi leader who led the Nandi resistance against the British colonial masters in Nandi County. I know there are many other leaders such as Mekatilili wa Menza who fought against colonialism. County governments will have an opportunity to collect and document. Some countries in West Africa received back some of the artefacts that had been taken by the British during their invasion of Africa. We also got some artefacts belonging to Koitalel arap Samoei, the leader of ... view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Culture is dynamic and all of us grow old. How do we ensure that we pass it from one generation to another? County governments must collect, document and create special places. We should have museums created by county governments. The silver lining in this argument is that it will allow county governments to also generate their own revenue. For example, there is a museum in Nandi County, where I come from. In my culture, there are people who have grown so old that they ask why God has forgotten them. There is a place called Sheu just near your county, ... view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am sorry, it is Sen. (Dr.) Alice Milgo. I mixed up. I commend Sen. (Dr.) Milgo from Bomet County for this tremendous work. Apart from being our able Chairperson of the Committee on Education, this is the touch we need. It is a calling that when women decide to do something and come to leadership, they can do it from all fronts. These are the women we want to celebrate. We want to see women doing these things, so that this country can believe in the leadership of women. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want congratulate you ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the discretion. I want to thank the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. When the investigations started, we were able to visit Seattle, United States of America (USA) to engage the Boeing Company courtesy of your office. When I was the Chairperson of the Committee, we met the family members of the victims. Notably, there was an issue of assistance from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs because the family members of the victims were requesting to have death certificates processed. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs working with the Ethiopian Government and other sector players, were trying to bring bodies back so that the families could have closure. My comment is that I hope the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will assist the families. We are aware this matter is also active in court and there are reports that family members might have opted out of court settlement. This is ongoing. view
