• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: It enables the other Committees that come on board to know exactly what was happening, so that as they begin their work, they are properly guided by information gathered by previous Committees. I rest my case. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Yes. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity to support this Statement from Sen. Khaniri. I want to start by saying that there is no denying that the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has seriously and negatively impacted the capacity of farmers to grow sufficient food to feed this nation. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: However, it does not even stop there. The pandemic has also seriously shrunk incomes across businesses and the corporate world. The purchasing power by many Kenyans, if not all, has seriously and greatly been affected by this pandemic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it shall be remembered that initially when this pandemic landed in our country, the President - and I really want to thank him - issued directives through the National Treasury for tax reliefs for many people. Those reliefs really helped. However, those cushions have now been lifted at a time when the pandemic is hitting even harder, making the ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to congratulate and thank Sen. Sakaja for his practical approach in performing his tasks as the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. Sen. Sakaja is doing a fantastic job in setting the pace for other Chairpersons of Committees. I waited to hear what Sen. Sakaja would say on the actual allocations to each county for the Inua Jamii programmes which is a very innovative programme by the National Government. The programme is meant to reach out to persons who are less privileged in the society by ensuring that they are ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: I challenge the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to address this issue because he has been very proactive on this issue. We are proposing a legislation on the proper management of cash transfers whereby these transfers are done at the ward level and devolved to the villages. That will ensure the people who genuinely deserve help are recruited into the program and that the dead beneficiaries are replaced. That will ensure timely delivery of these finances to help these people. In the absence of the that, the wrong people will continue to receive the cash disbursements. ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, because this is a House of record, the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget has mentioned the name of Sen. Wambua in the same line with the BBI and the Budget Policy Statement (BPS). I see no relationship and I need clarity on when Sen. Wambua comes in on BBI and the BPS. I thank you. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senator of Kitui County has the capacity to state his position on all matters, including BBI. I seek protection from the Chair that the Senator of Migori County does not ascribe positions to me on BBI. I am not jittery about anything. I am just listening and following. As Sen. Kinyua said, if the Committee of Finance and Budget wants to convert this conversation into a public participation forum then we need to be given notice. If not so, we are here to discuss the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) and we are ready for ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Just to inform Sen. Sakaja that what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. accompanied the party leader to do at the Jubilee headquarters was to sign a document called a cooperation agreement which has no bearing at all on the debt and on borrowing. Secondly, I would like to inform Sen. Sakaja that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. was among the seven Senators in this House who voted to oppose additional borrowing by the Jubilee Government. I thank you. view
