Every time, you will see us fighting for proper The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: legislation to be put in place for take care of drought in ASAL areas. Whenever it rains, we have been running around to make sure we take care of floods in this country. I hope this Bill we are moving as the Senate can solve the problem of drought in this country. Whenever there is a drought, we call it an emergency. Once we establish this fund, I hope we will have a basket where donors will contribute to this worthy course and make sure we have prepared ourselves as a country in dealing with the drought disaster. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: The Bill also provides the drought response and management which National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) has been doing over the years. Unfortunately, because of lack of proper framework, this has never been done properly; a response that is not directly geared towards solving the solution. With the established fund under this amendment, we can respond to drought in this country in a proper manner. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Secondly, the Bill also gives responsibility to both national and county government. You will find that a lot of money is allocated at the national and county level. However, without proper legislation, the money is not utilized in a manner that it can help Kenyans. At the national level, we have a lot funding. There are so many institutions that are running around with the basket of drought or disaster management in this county. The county governments are doing the same thing which does not help Kenyans. This is because we have not put the basket together in a helpful ... view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Once this Bill is assented to, as a country, we will have proper finances to respond to drought. We will have finances that can help citizens in this country. In most drought cases, the Government tries to come up with different strategies to ensure we have dealt with the drought issue without having a proper manner to guide the country in solving the problem. With the passage of this amendment, I believe we can have a proper framework to provide financial response to drought in this country and in a manageable manner. Unless we do that, we will help Kenyans. view
• 9 Jun 2020 in Senate: Every time, we run around whenever there is disaster instead of preparing ourselves. I believe this is a worthy amendment that we required over the years, so that we can utilise the budget under the NDMA which has not been utilised over the years simply because we do not have legislation in place. I believe this will help Kenyans at this particular time when we are facing a lot of challenges. Soon we will have drought but recently we have been running around because of floods. I believe this is a worthy process where especially communities in Arid and Semi- ... view

• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Loitiptip for this worthy Statement. We are losing direction as a country. We sing about this issue of floods year in, year out without any solution. Whenever we have rains in Tana River, Nyanza region and many other parts of the country, there are floods. Unfortunately, we have never gotten it right on how to control the floods and return the river to its course. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Kenyans are facing many challenges. There is the issue of Covid-19, insecurity, unemployment and many others. ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: ground, yet we have Government representatives to check areas that are affected by floods. I urge the Committee that will look into this Statement to consider Iresaboru and Garfarsa in Isiolo County. view
