• 23 Apr 2024 in Senate: (d) Consider the proposed County Youth Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, on behalf of my committee, I wish to appreciate the Office of the Speaker, the Senate Leadership and the Office of the Clerk of the Senate, for the steadfast support that they have accorded this committee. Thank you. view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am happy to get this opportunity to also support this Bill’s amendment by the distinguished Senator for Nandi County, Sen. Cherarkey. Article 179 (3) up to 180 talks about County Executive Committees (CECs). This amendment is very crucial and it came at the right time. Removing a CEC member with one-third is not justifiable. What Sen. Cherarkey has done is commendable. We need to have two-thirds majority, as he has said, to enhance this threshold. We need to sit with Sen. Cherarkey to add a few amendments here and there. It is ... view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you want to amend these laws, we need to help our MCAs get a salary of at least not less than Kshs400,000 a month. If we want them to do a very good job, we must empower them. Some people are saying MCAs are removing governors and deputy governors from the offices, and that they can be influenced to do so. Probably that can happen because they do not have enough money to attend their own personal things, like taking their children to school. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will tell you today, how do ... view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Even some items, specifically, electrical items, are already outdated. They cannot be used now. They need to remove most of them. The main contractor had so many sub-contractors, you could not even know who was doing what. That was the Statement from Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). There is an elephant in the room; the Parliamentary Joint Services led by a Director General. Next week, I will bring a statement in that regard. We want to know how much budget they have and how that money is used. I also thank Sen. Wambua. He brought up an issue of employees who ... view

• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: I also thank him and the Ministry of Defence for the good work they are doing. The Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) was before my Committee about two weeks ago. They are doing a good job because they are now making profits. I also take this opportunity to thank you for what you have done at Sololo Level 4 Hospital and football stadiums in this country. However, there is flooding in North Horr and the roads are impassable. The people of North Horr and Turkana are suffering. What can you do to help the people in those areas? We have military ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources regarding the dumping of nuclear waste in the North-Eastern and Upper-Eastern regions of Kenya by multinational oil exploration companies in the 1980s. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Initiate an inquiry into and table a report on circulating reports of dumping of nuclear waste in the North-Eastern and Upper-Eastern regions of Kenya by multinational oil exploration companies in the 1980s, which contaminated underground water reservoirs, leading to a surge in cancer cases in Marsabit, Samburu, ... view

Outline any initiatives undertaken by the Government to address the rising cancer cases in the regions and remediate the environment by eliminating toxic waste. Thank you very much. view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mine is not something like a question, but I want to express my gratitude towards the Cabinet Secretary. I take this opportunity to thank the Cabinet Secretary and the team, specifically the Director General, on the support they have given us during the time we had sponsors from Lord Mahavir Swami Followers and Giants Group Twiga on prosthetic limbs provided by Narayan Seva Centre, based in Udaipur, India.
