  • 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I have four Statements.

I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing regarding the upgrade to bitumen standard of the Odda-Bute-Danaba Road in Wajir and Marsabit counties. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide an update on the status of upgrade of the Odda-Bute-Danaba Road in Wajir and Marsabit counties to ... view
  • 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to thank Sen. Cherarkey for this Bill. This Bill is as if it was drafted by someone who comes from Marsabit, Samburu, Turkana Counties and the North Eastern. The issues that are in this Bill are very important that when I went through it, it is like someone from Marsabit County was also involved. Everything that is in this Bill on movement of livestock is important for Kenyans and specifically people who are prone to places like Marsabit County which are occasionally raided. There are so many ways people move livestock. Some ... view

  • 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: Again, during the last drought, our people in Marsabit County brought their animals to Isiolo County. They faced a lot of problems specifically on getting permits and payment of taxes to the local government. I ask Sen. Cherarkey to look at these two issues. In Marsabit County, our everything is livestock. Some people in Nairobi City County can keep farming businesses but 95 per cent of our people are livestock keepers. Occasionally, we have noticed we get into a drought situation where a farmer loses everything he had. In that situation, you will find a livestock keeper getting into problems ... view

  • 2 Nov 2023 in Senate: During the colonial era, livestock keepers paid taxes on each head of cattle, goats and even camel. Sometimes I do not even understand. If a colonial Government could identify all the animals in Marsabit County and ask for taxes, today in this new era with all the technologies, our Government cannot tell where these animals are. This is something that we need to come up with. With this legislation, we can push for the local and the national Government to work hand in hand and support this programme. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, livestock is a devolved function. Sometimes I wonder ... view

  • 31 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me use the words of Sen. Mwaruma. Thank you very much for noticing the issue of the six Members. Sen. Olekina should have known this and there are things we do not need to waste a lot of time on. Article 181 is very clear. It talks about the impeachment of a governor. Standing Order No.80 (b) (1) talks about the Special Committee and b (2) talks about the Plenary. Seven governors have been impeached since 2013. We started with Governor Wambora, Governor Chepkwony, Governor Anne Waiguru, Governor Mike Sonko and Governor ... view
