• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: The other challenge being faced by counties is that instead of the county governments facilitating companies to exploit resources for the benefit of local communities, they have been putting roadblocks and insisting on so many levies. This Bill puts paid to those discussions and obligates counties on what their duties and roles are in the extractive industry. It also makes it mandatory for county governments to implement strategies to enable local participation. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 30 of the Bill makes it mandatory for foreign companies that win contracts to get involved in the transfer of technology to local persons and companies. The Bill obligates the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in this sector to ensure that the envisaged transfer of technology is not whimsical or a decision that he or she makes. It is a decision that must be penned and signed through contracts, agreements and concessions. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Under Clause 25 of the Bill, the operators are also required to develop local skills by entering into alliances and some contracts with local firms in order to build local capacity. This is a Bill whose time has come; one that this country needs as we move towards industrialisation, so that the industry is properly regulated with proper laws and legislation. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: I take this opportunity to thank the Senator for Baringo County for being very consistent on this Bill. If you listened to him, he started on this Bill in 2016 and has not given up on it. I urge my colleagues to support this Bill. They may propose whatever amendments they want, but let us pass this Bill in the best interest of this country and for future generations. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this Petition. I want to congratulate the people of Mwatate, through Sen. Mwaruma, for bringing this Petition to the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as my colleagues have stated, land issues are very emotive. If they are not properly handled, they will explode into violence. I like what Sen. Mwaruma has said, that the people of Taita Taveta County are not war-like people. However, I urge that neighbouring communities invading land belonging to the people of Mwatate in Taita Taveta County are not encouraged to take ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mwatate, to try and consolidate these issues. In so many parts of this country, we are having similar situations and problems where people invade ranch land, settle on it and through the backdoor, they process title deeds for that land. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am in full support of this Petition from the people of Mwatate. It is my hope that these people will get justice through the Senate. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to add my voice to this conversation. I want to begin by saying that it is only in Kenya where the value of medical equipment appreciates with the passage of time. I have never seen this happen anywhere in the world where you lease equipment at KshsX and the next year, the value for that equipment is KshsX +Kshs2 and the following year is KshsX × Kshs3. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the argument that governors were forced to sign this agreement flies in the face of reality. I understand that every ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Kshs200 million for this equipment every year. The money is deducted at source. Therefore, the governors do not even have an opportunity to decide whether to pay or not to pay. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to the Committee on Health, I join my colleagues in saying that this matter is, probably, bigger than the Committee on Health. It is a matter that the entire Senate needs to be seized of. As the Senator has suggested, let us have the Cabinet Secretary for health in the national Government and the 47 governors in this country appear before the Committee of the Whole of the Senate and answer to questions on this matter. view
