• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: I remember there was a time the Chairman of the National Coordination of CSs, CS Matiang’i, met you and other Members of the Senate Business Committee on how we could ensure that there was seamless working between the Senate and the Executive. What happened to that? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as you rule on that, we must be respected by these CSs and senior Government officials. This matter has been put to rest in the courts of law. Sen. Orengo, our Minority Leader and Sen. Omogeni were in court. The courts made a ruling that the Senate must be part ... view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker. view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Mover of Order No.15, the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.33 of 2021), Sen. Kang’ata is humbly requesting for the Order to be deferred for a little bit. He has been held up in traffic, but he is coming. Maybe we can move to the next Order and then he will move it when he arrives. view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.33 of 2021). I congratulate Sen. Kang’ata who, I am told, led in the just concluded opinion polls in Murang’a for the position of governor. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we were with Sen. Kang’ata when we met several Kenyans in the USA and they raised several challenges. Courtesy of your Office, during our parliamentary tour, we met a number of Kenyans living abroad and they told us the challenges they are facing. That is when we discussed with Sen. Kang’ata on how to ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: What we need to do is to give them the attention they deserve. As I speak, the leading foreign exchange earner is money send by Kenyans living in the diaspora followed by tea. It has overtaken the traditional foreign exchange earner. Just in two years, Kenyans who live abroad sent Kshs649 billion. That was between 2019 and 2020. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Kenyans in the diaspora sent Kshs6.3 billion weekly. Some of the money goes to school fees while some is sent to support their families and investments. That plays a significant role in the growth of the economy ... view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Sending approximately Kshs700 billion is not easy. That is why we must create the Ministry of the Diaspora like other counties because of the money being send. We should have such a Ministry to handle the challenges and deal with the administrative concerns of Kenyans living abroad. When they send money to support their own programmes and investments they should be protected. view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: I know there are challenges that Kenyans living in the Far East face. The other day, the Ministry for Labour and Social Protection told us that just in three months, around 93 Kenyans died as a result of cardiac arrest, COVID-19, accidents and suicide. Most Kenyans, especially in the Far East die because of suicide. view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: It is unfortunate that we continue to face such challenges as a country where we lose Kenyans. Two or three months ago, one or two people from Nandi County died. One was from Kapkangani Ward in Emgwen Sub County. These are challenges that this Bill seeks to put into perspective. view
