• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we stand and condole with the families that have lost their loves ones. view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I congratulate Sen. Mwaruma on that issue of compensation. My colleagues have delved so much and talked about Article 40 of the Constitution on Protection of Right to Property. In fact, Article 40(3)(b) says when there is a compensation by Government:- ―(i) requires prompt payment in full, of just compensation to the person.‖ It goes on and says, in Article 40(4), that it should be done in good faith. view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there have been a lot of problems with regards to compensation. I agree with Sen. Sakaja that when a project is being carried out especially on the issue of construction of roads, compensation is factored in the project cost. What shocks everybody is that there seems to be a well-orchestrated scheme by the National Land Commission (NLC), the Kenyan National Highways Authority (KeNHA) and the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. This money has already been made available and the law is very clear that the compensation should be just and prompt. The other day we discussed about ... view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: It seems there is a cartel that ensures that when there is a project being undertaken and it involves land, they do not care about the land belonging to poor Kenyans and they want to deprive them of it. The law is very clear about this matter as stated and articulated in Article 40. Madam Temporary Speaker, I agree that the people of Taita Taveta County are suffering. It has been mentioned here by my colleagues that many Kenyans follow up on their payment until they lose it. There is collusion between the agencies that run roads like KeNHA, the ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. The Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations and the Senator for Laikipia County has travelled with another delegation out of the country. I, therefore, welcome the MCAs and staff members from Laikipia County on his behalf. The MCAs are the primary source of oversight in our counties, and I hope they will learn a lot. One of the things that this House has been debating and considering is the County Wards Development Equalisation Bill, 2018, to ensure that the MCAs have the ability to do their ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. From the onset, I welcome the school from your county of Uasin Gishu. I also welcome PAG Jerusalem Academy from my neigbourhood. It is not far from my home and the primary school that I attended, St. Francis Chepterit Primary School. They will have the opportunity to see their Senator make a few comments on the Floor of the House. I wish them well and pray to God that we be their inspiration. The Senate is an instrument that has been created by the people for the people. Therefore, we ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: I congratulate Hon. Mawathe and Hon. David Ochieng for winning Embakasi South and Ugenya constituency seats, respectively. That shows that the electorate is becoming wiser by day. You cannot sell manifesto or agenda that does not resonate with them. They are now alleging that it is because of “handshake” that they will not be fielding a candidate in Wajir West. However, I am sure they have sensed defeat in the by- election for Wajir West parliamentary seat because Hon. Kolosh is our strong candidate. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party has now withdrawn their candidate from Wajir West by-election because ... view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Nandi is the source of champions. Elgeyo-Marakwet County is the home of champions and Eldoret is the city of champions. We are proud to be the source of champions. We had dinner with the athletes courtesy of the Deputy President after the State of the Nation Address. We are proud of our young people because they did well in Denmark. view
• 9 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that you like watching athletics. When Chebet was denied a gold medal, all of us were mad. However, when the error was rectified, we were happy. In fact, there is no need of paying a lot of money to brand Kenya. Let us use our athletes to brand Kenya. view
