• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Agenda. We support the President almost 80 to 90 percent to build on his legacy. We do not know the fate of the handshake, because it is not legally provided for. There are some people out there doing a handshake, but we want to see handcuffs in terms of the fight against corruption. However, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as much as we want to go forward even it terms of Level 4 Hospitals and in terms of the UHC programme, I have talked to healthcare experts and they are saying that this programme is not sustainable. Therefore, it cannot work, ... view
• 27 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can go on and on, but this is where it stops. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought you would allow some comments on the issue raised by Sen. Mwaruma? view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support Sen. Mwaruma because in my county we have a miner in Chemase-Chemilil Ward, a company called Karebe Gold Mining Limited. This problem is rampant in this country. I do not see the Chair of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources but I know the Members of the Committee are present. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we raised this matter when we had the Senate Mashinani in Eldoret. I underscore what Sen. Mwaruma has said. If you go to Chemase, you will find the issues that he is raising. For example, there is lack of ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my good friend did not listen keenly. I said that the young men who work in the mines are exposed to some chemicals. Therefore, Chiefs in Chemase deal with cases of newly married men who can no longer execute their conjugal rights. They can no longer reproduce which is very dangerous. I mentioned the adverse effects that come with miners who cannot be held accountable. We will consult with Sen. Mwaruma because we need Community Development Agreements (CDAs) according to The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2015--- view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what is exciting my teacher, the Senate Majority Leader. I hope all is well. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: We can talk in camera and share with him some findings. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are not against investors; we welcome them. However, they must respect the people who give them the opportunity to exploit their resources. Most of the mining companies in this Republic do not have CDAs according to The Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Amendment Act, 2015. They have not adhered to the law as provided for in the Mining Act. Therefore, I support Sen. Mwaruma in that people who exploit our resources must be held accountable. There is a Petition that I presented with similar ... view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday we toured Solai. Therefore, we should not open a box where our people will always regret why they have such resources. Let the resources be a blessing to this country. Justice should be given to the people of Sen. Mwaruma and Nandi County in Chemilil-Chemase area. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, thank you, for the indulgence to at least make a few comments on this issue. I am passionate about it and it is near my heart. I want to see young men who are able to reproduce, an uplifted economy and CSR undertaken. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: on a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Feb 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate what sen. Ndwiga is saying, but as a Committee, they have enormous powers to look into some of these crosscutting issues that we are raising. Therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence, considering that my brother is a former Cabinet Minister, he has a broader view on how this House can get a more concise and well researched report. I believe in his Committee. It is not an issue of whether to reproduce or not; we need reproduction to still go up, especially in our young men in that area. Therefore, they must look into ... view
