Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support Sen. Enock Wambua and Sen. Mwenda Gataya Mo Fire for bringing this issue. I am happy that the people there are not objecting the construction of the High Grand Falls Dam that is between Kitui and Tharaka Nithi. However, I have realized there is abuse of the Constitution. This is because the salient feature that Sen. Wambua has raised are on the issue of non-compensation. The property rights under Article 40 make it clear that when you are doing compulsory acquisition of land, it must be paid within the market value and ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I second, I congratulate the Senate Deputy Majority Leader. She is taking over reins of power this week when her boss is not around. Mr. Deputy Speaker, this is a straightforward amendment. You Sen. Tabitha Mutinda--- Sorry, Sen. Tabitha Keroche is one of the best entrepreneurs in this country. She is the one who prepares your favorite drink most of the time. I would have expected her to give us a---

My apologies, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Faki is a bit confused because both Tabithas are female Senators from UDA, the ruling party. They are also entrepreneurs, married and they are beautiful. I can understand what Sen. Faki is going through. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in seconding the Bill, I would have expected Sen. Tabitha Keroche, the distinguished Senator of Nakuru and the future Governor of Nakuru County to tell us the magic she has been doing to build a multi-billion-dollar industry. She is one of the most celebrated industrialists in this country and a leader. She is one of ...

Bw. Naibu Spika, nashukuru Waziri wa Kilimo kwa kupata fursa kufika katika Bunge la Seneti. Nashukuru kwa yale mabadiliko anafanya kwenye sekta ya kilimo ingawa najua siyo sekta rahisi. Ningependa kuuliza Waziri atoe hakikisho kwa taifa – tumeona kwenye vyombo vya habari kwamba kuna upungufu wa pembejeo ambayo inawekwa juu ya mahindi. Kwa lugha ya Kimombo ni top dressing. Anaweza hakikishia wananchi kuwa kuna pembejeo ya kutosha katika maghala ya kitaifa kwa wakulima wa mahindi. Mwisho, ametenga ridhaa kwa wale wakulima ambao walipata matatizo ama shida wakati wakupata mbolea mwezi uliopita. Bw. Waziri alikuwa Kaunti ya Nandi jana na alisema ...

women and PWDs does not go to the disabled and young women. They go to people calling themselves senior youth. I hope Sen. Crystal Asige will speak about this. We find somebody running a youth company, but they are 60 or 70 years old. I think this amendment would have come at a better time. We do not want to give young people fish, but let us teach them how to fish. If today young people of Kenya take up this challenge and register companies and competitively get their awards of 30 per cent as per the AGPO, there would ...

people have become professors, we have those with PhDs who went through gumbaru, and they are doing a wonderful job in our societies. I am using an example of the strike that you saw of doctors. About 90 per cent of the doctors that were on the street were Clinical Officers (Cos). Those who were demonstrating today are young people. We cannot employ everybody. Even we, as Members of Parliament (MPs), could not employ ourselves. We had to go to the people to seek employment. I hear MPs say why should you not generate employment, yet we could not hire ...
