Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been having challenges concerning CSR. I agree with Sen. Wetangula that this is not, in any way, trying to ensure that only one particular tribe is employed in that area. I know that all of us, as Senators, come from areas which harbor multinational companies. The biggest beef they have been having with the locals is about employment. Looking at what is happening in Turkana County over the issue of oil and many other things, it is because there has been no agreement or ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the County Statistics Bill, 2018 and congratulate Sen. Farhiya Haji for this timely Bill. I know most of my colleagues have talked about its importance and timeliness in terms of resource allocation and development planning at the county level. I agree largely because this Constitution is not old enough. I think it might be starting to work after crawling. We still need to do a lot of legwork in ensuring that we put in place the necessary and absolute legislations. Madam Temporary Speaker, I was looking at the comparison of the ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for this opportunity. I also thank Sen. Sakaja who is also my Chairperson in the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I think as a Committee, we will treat this matter with the seriousness that it deserves. One, it is very sad that most opportunities that should have be given to our people are being given to the Chinese. I think we need to relook the issue of work permits and I challenge my Chairperson, Sen. Sakaja, that we must relook and agree on the work permits. The only place in this world where ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to talk about the issues of corruption. I know some of us will run for governorship. My good friend from Narok County and many others will run for the governor seat. Sen. Sakaja is smiling; he might not be running for governor, but for president in future. If we know that you are a leader, but unfortunately, you do not get re-elected, you and your family must be comfortable. Recently the former Prime Minister was in India to take a message of goodwill from President Uhuru Kenyatta. It will be good to facilitate ...
