• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: There was a contestation regarding the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) passing through the Nairobi National Park. The issue of environmental conservation vis-a-vis development became a serious debate and discussion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, even as we advertise, we should also protect the environment. There should be a way that the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and other organs that protect the environment are involved. We know that the materials that are used for advertising can become toxic and affect the environment, when they come into contact with adverse weather conditions. The good Professor of Chemistry, Sen. (Prof.) Imana, would understand ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: On the issue of discretion, we should not give too much power to the CECs because we know how politics and business interests operate in this country. Under Clause 19, the county assemblies may enact specific legislation for the implementing the Act in the respective counties. Many of them, including the county assemblies of the City County of Nairobi, Kakamega and Homa Bay have experienced crisis and chaos. They have been busy impeaching speakers. I hope that they will find time to enact this legislation. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 18 states- ―A person who contravenes any provision of this ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding two hundred thousand shillings or to both.‖ I propose that the fine of Kshs200,000 should be increased to Kshs5 million, so that we do not have people who deface or destroy other people‘s advertisements worth millions of shillings. During the campaigns, as Sen. Wetangula said, people spent a lot of money to advertise on billboards. Why should we make it cheap for somebody to deface adverts? The punishment should be painful. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, let us also urge the companies that advertise, to do it with decorum and morality that it deserves. I know that in the City County of Nairobi, people may appear lenient, but we should ensure that the adverts are conservative and adhere to the African values. Yesterday, I asked the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) about the rise in cases of teenage pregnancies and they blamed it on social media and the internet. Our children are now on long holiday and we do not know what they are doing on the internet. Even as ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I urge the Members of National Assembly that there are more important things than the quality of food that we eat in Parliament. Let us look at the quality of legislation. Nowadays, they discuss how tea does not have sugar. They should concern themselves with the quality of the Bills that we are giving them, and not the githeri that we eat in Parliament. Those are some of the issues--- view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Murkomen was my lecturer. So, I do not want to doubt his wisdom on this matter but--- view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I meant is simple; that the critical and most important thing is the quality of legislation that we churn out and the attention it deserves. If food deserves more attention than the quality of legislation, then where are we as the Parliament? That is why I said the National Assembly should prioritise such Bills over the issues of food because there are better forums that we can discuss food. I am told there is a food television channel that you can watch using your DSTV decoders. I encourage them to watch such channels. I agree ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I thank Sen. Mwaruma for this Motion. I agree that the issue of wildlife-human conflict has been very serious in this country. However, it seems all of us are more concerned about the welfare of the animals than the communities who live with them. 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
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, because you are my neighbour along the border, we have a predominance of snake bites. The last time I was in Kisumu we had the issue of view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: that originated from Nyakach, which is mostly very hot. Sugarcane growing areas have so many cases of snake bites, especially on the Chemelil-Chemase strip and the lower part of Tinderet Constituency. Even towards the Kakamega Forest, along the Mosop Strata, so many people are bitten by snakes. view
