• 6 Aug 2019 in Senate: persons sitting in this committee. I personally would want to see an expansion on that committee, especially to take care of interests outside the purview of county governments. I am looking at the inclusion of, perhaps, the church and religious organisations; the County Chambers of Commerce and Industry; teachers unions and such interests that are properly established within the counties. That way, the decisions would get the buy-in of a wider population and interests. Lastly, Madam Temporary Speaker, on the benefits, this has been properly canvassed. Recognition of people and the roles they play in the wellbeing of society, county ... view

• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support Sen. Khaniri’s Petition. I would like to begin by making a full disclosure on my interest in this matter. I am a child of a military officer. My father served in the Army. I, therefore, support the fact that this country needs to establish a law that takes care of the retired military officers and their families. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: The trauma that is associated with service in the military is enormous. I recall that in 1982, during the attempted coup, there was so much gunfire around the barracks. As a result, there were many deaths and bloodshed. After that, things went back to business as usual. There has not been any follow-up on compensation for the losses. Many military officers were dismissed and their families have continued to suffer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we push forward for the establishment of a law to protect the military veterans and their families, the drafters of the law may want to look ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Senator for Makueni County, my neighbour, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for bringing this Statement. It 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
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: will be remembered that this is perhaps one of the biggest projects being undertaken by the Government in the lower Eastern region. This project of the road between Kibwezi, Ikula, Mutomo, all the way the way to Migwani through Kitui Town, has brought a lot of issues. I have held conversations with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. over where this Petition should go. I sit in the Senate Committee on Roads and Transportation and we have had an opportunity to visit this section of the road. Issues of compensation, pollution and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by the companies that are undertaking ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Ali for bringing this Statement on employment on short term contracts. I have only two issues to raise. First, what is the legislative framework on which this employment will be based? This is because most medium-term Government plans last for five years. Therefore, the expectation will be that somebody is employed on a Government project and, within three years, they are supposed to be exiting, even before the actualization of those projects. This will kill institutional memory within Government agencies. It would appear as if this is just a knee-jack reaction ... view

• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Malalah for bringing up this very bold Statement. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: I would want to request that the Committee to which this Statement will be committed should also look into what is happening in our counties because very few of our counties, if any, are observing the constitutional requirement that 30 per cent of staff in the counties come from outside the region where the county is situated. Most importantly, I know that when issues start coming up, there will be so much talk from different quarters, and especially from communities that could be over- represented in the Civil Service in terms of ethnic profiling. The Committee should have the courage ... view
