• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Milgo for this Statement. It has shocked not only Africa, but the world that xenophobic attacks continue to happen in South Africa unabated. It is very unfortunate that some of the people who have suffered in terms of loss of property and lives come from Kenya. We have been monitoring these events as the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. On behalf of the Committee, we commit that we will follow this matter to conclusion. It is so sad that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. 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
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Statement that has been requested by Sen. Shiyonga. Article 54(1)(c) of the Constitution of Kenya on Persons with Disabilities states as follows: “A person with any disability is entitled, (c) to reasonable access to all places, public transport and information.” That statement means that the relevant agencies in the Government must ensure that PWDs can access transportation or any buildings. I agree that in as much as there is progressive implementation to this aspect in the Bill of Rights, we want to request the relevant agencies to facilitate PWDs because ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on the creation of support services for members of the disciplined forces and their families. This Motion is timely because Kenya, under former President Kibaki, did go to Somalia through a programme called Africa Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) to try and bring stability and ensure that Kenya and the horn of Africa is safe, secure and lives and property are being protected. I happen to have one of my brothers in the military service. Luckily, he has not met any casualties while in Somalia. However, there are many families ... view
• 10 Sep 2019 in Senate: Secondly, when some of these heroes come back home after serving in their mission, especially in AMISOM in Somalia, they should also be taken care of, so that it does not become a psychiatric problem in their lives. As we talk about counseling, I know that the Government offers support services of monitoring. However, part of the stress that Kenyans undergo is because of hard economic times. Therefore, as we counsel the soldiers and their families, the Government should also provide monetary support to them. We are happy that we now have an insurance cover for the police and other ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologise for interrupting my good friend, Sen. Mwaruma. Last time, in your ruling, you said that you are supposed to be referred in Kiswahili as ‘ Mheshimiwa’ or “Bw. Spika.” Hili neno ‘mstahiki’ linaweza elekea kama lile neno ‘mzungumzishi.’ Ruling ambayo ulitoa na ambayo tunatakikana tufuate, ni ‘Bw. Spika’ au ‘Mheshimiwa Spika.’ Sasa wakitumia neno lingine kama vile ‘mstahiki’ italeta shida. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support from the outset. Land has been a very emotive issue and is the source of our originality. I know that any process of dispossessing or taking ownership of land should be done within the law. There was a famous case involving the owner of the land near the Rift Valley Textiles (Rivatex) in Eldoret Town, where the Government compulsorily acquired it. Since the Government did not use it for the intended purpose as provided for under the law, that land was later returned to the original ownership by the Land and Environment Court. ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must find a way of protecting community, private and public land as envisaged and provided for by the law. I hope Sen. Olekina together with the Kajiado County Government will ensure that people--- If you go to the Land Registry, you will realise that who have been most disadvantaged by issues of land are the people from Kajiado and Narok counties, and the poor. As a House of reason, we need to come up with proper legislative and policy directions on how we can ensure land is not only a source of production but also pride ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: We went to Nkoroi in Kajiado County and found issues of land compensation emanating from the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). There are also issues of compensation of land owners on the Eldoret Bypass. When officers of the NLC compulsorily acquire land that belongs to public or private individuals, the law is very clear that the owners must be compensated immediately and should not be used for other mischievous purposes. Land is a very emotive issue, and that is what Prof. Tom Ojienda would say. We must find a way of acting upon it. view
