• 18 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, going by my English, sodomy and pornography are two very related subjects. Madam Temporary Speaker, what I am trying to suggest is that we must scrutinize the budgets that are made by the counties. This is because if we allow them to go the way they want, it means that every other time we will increase their allocations and this money will be misused. In the end, that money will not go to meet the desired The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be ... view

• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Our learned professor is telling us about bad manners. I think it is important to define some of these things, even if they look obvious. How does he assess the bad manners that he is trying to attribute to counties? view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am happy I have finally caught your eyes. That has really touched me. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would wish to bring to the attention of majority of the Senators here, as they try to wonder why some counties are getting more on Column “B” as opposed to others a few facts. Out of the percentage that is supposed to be devolved to the counties, that is, 15 per cent, 85 per cent is left to the national Government for its own national projects. What is important for us to understand is that revenue in this country is generated within the counties. The counties that generate more, should be supported, so that they can ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I did not say that. I said it is clear that counties such as Kirinyaga, where I come from, which had been given Kshs2.7 billion will need a billion more. The money that will be given to such counties will go into production and multiplication of more money. Using the multiplier effect, more money will be generated from such productive counties. The Government should continue to give more to those counties. I am trying to justify the fact that counties that are endowed geographically and environmentally should not be left behind. As some Senators have argued counties ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is not only rice that grows in Kirinyaga. We have a lot of other cash crops. We have tea, coffee, forestry and even view
• 16 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute to support of this Motion. This Motion is crucial to the country’s development. It is also an inspiration to students in this country who complete Form Four and move out and wander around, not knowing what to do. Every year, we have a tune of about 400,000 students who complete Form Four education. About 20,000 of these students end up in universities. This means that the rest of the number, more than 300,000 of them, is out there not knowing what to do. Therefore, if this Motion is ... view
• 16 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute in support of the Motion in front of us this afternoon. I also want to thank the Mover for doing what is required by a nation which is focused to feed its people. This trend of people staying along river banks, people planting vegetation along the wetlands, grazing animals along the rivers, polluting rivers and many other acts along the river is something that is serious. We have had a number of Motions discussed in this House about how people should avoid river valleys because it may ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me also to contribute in support of this Motion. This Motion should have come very early in the life of Parliament because according to me, we are discussing our people and we are also discussing a region. Madam Temporary Speaker, as it has been stated here earlier, ASAL regions in Kenya cover not 70 per cent – as I know – but it is precisely 88 per cent of the area of the country and only 10 per cent – according to my geography – is arable. Actually, 12 per cent is what ... view
