• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Urban Areas and Cities Act is very clear as to the role of a town manager. This Bill gives powers to the Committee Executive Member and the cabinet at the county level to rearrange towns and to determine where the vending zones will be, who should be relocated and licensed. This is purely and vividly described in the Urban Areas and Cities Act. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill has got no direct benefit to the street vendors of Kakamega, because I have mentored the Kakamega County Assembly to come up with a Bill that regulates the ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: in Kakamega who pays Kshs50 in a day. Therefore, in 30 days, that street vendor pays Kshs1,500; and for a year, he pays close to Kshs18,000 as taxes. In comparison, a shop owner or a salon owner in Kakamega pays only Kshs4,500. I think we are over taxing that mama mboga seated in Kakamega or Khayega market. It is unfair for that mama mboga seated at Shianda Market in Kakamega County. Therefore, we need to relook at the taxation of this special group. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also need to cushion these vendors from unnecessary competition. It is absurd that ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand here to defend the Senate Majority Leader, my good friend, Sen. Murkomen, who refers to one of his bosses as a hustler. The definition of a hustler in the google dictionary is: “a person adept at aggressive selling or illicit dealings”. We all know that Hon. Murkomen’s boss indulges in illicit dealings and therefore, he qualifies to be called a hustler. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view

• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Just before the Mover comes to reply, allow me to make my comments as pertains to this Bill. First of all, I want to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for this noble cause. Our children are part of our society that has been neglected for a very long time. As a leadership, it is very important for us to look into the welfare of our children. The gist of this Bill is that we need to have a legal basis to establish children’s homes in our counties. We have had so many children’s homes coming up ... view
• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: As the Senator for Kakamega County, I would like to take a version of this Bill to the county assembly. We shall customize it to ensure that it suits the needs of the people to ensure the children are secured and the establishment of the children’s homes in Kakamega County are done in a unique way. Next year or next year, but one, when this Bill will be operational, leaders such as Sen. Sakaja should go to Kakamega County to benchmark on the success of the implementation of it. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this reminds me of the bottleneck of the implementation of various decision and resolutions of this House. The previous Senate had the Committee on Implementation. It is high time we had that committee because most of our resolutions here end up being archived in the Office of the Clerk. Nothing comes out of the resolutions that we make in this House. We shall, therefore, look at ways of restructuring the formation of committees in this House so that we introduce the Committee on Implementation. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for this noble cause. I assure her that we shall walk with her in this journey and ensure that this Bill is implemented to the letter. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: May God bless the people of Kenya and specifically the people of Kakamega County. view
• 1 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
