• 26 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would not mind being informed by Sen. Sifuna or Sen. Osotsi because they are consumers of fertilisers. They are farmers--- view
• 26 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought I was in the Senate. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 26 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will move from the fertiliser business because it brings unnecessary tension in the House. I will comment on the Statement by my neighbor, the Senator of Kajiado, Sen. Seki, on the matter of ECDE teachers. As a House, we must understand that the Constitution of Kenya has devolved ECDE to build strong foundations for the education of our children. The teachers who are given the responsibility to teach our young people must be properly qualified. As the Committee handles this matter, I would strongly suggest that the scheme of service for ECDE teachers be rolled ... view
• 26 Mar 2024 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to thank Sen. M. Kajwang’ for reviving this important debate on county boundaries, by bringing forth the County Boundaries Bill, 2023. As Sen. Orwoba has rightfully said, this is a matter that has engaged debates on this Floor severally. It has precipitated conflicts in many counties across this country. For acknowledging that this Bill is meant to provide for proper county boundaries, make provisions for dissolution of disputes among and between counties, I thank the Senator for coming up with the Bill. I will open my debate on this ... view
• 26 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, just to make reference to it, maybe I should start with the first county, 001, Mombasa. I am not very sure because Sen. Faki is not here, but he is coming back. The boundary of Mombasa defined in the First Schedule as commencing at the centre of the mouth of Mtwapa Creek on the coastline of the Indian ocean, thence due East to the limit of the territorial waters of the Indian ocean. The descriptions of these counties leave no doubt to an average reader that somebody is just deliberately creating confusion. Boundaries and definition of boundaries ... view
• 26 Mar 2024 in Senate: Since the commission is the key and answer to the challenges we face on boundaries as a country, it must be constituted by credible people of integrity, who command respect across the board. I refer to Part 2 of that proposed Bill. Let us talk about the boundary mediation committee. Clause 5 of Part 2, Sub-clause 2: I urge Sen. M. Kajwang’ to rethink the wording of Clause 5 (2) (a), which reads- “a person under subsection 1(a)(c) shall submit the request to the Senate together with evidence that notice was given to every county government over a county whose ... view
• 26 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Sifuna is disturbing Sen. M. Kajwang’. I want to help him in the Bill. The role of representation and protection of counties and county governments and their interest is assigned by the Constitution to the Senate and the Senators. I want to convince Sen. M. Kajwang’ to consider that as a requirement, if a matter of a county dispute is going to be presented to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya, then the Senator of that County must also be notified in writing by whoever it is that is bringing that matter to the ... view
• 26 Mar 2024 in Senate: Kirinyaga with a landmass of 1,400 square kilometers, and both are called counties. I have no problem with Kirinyaga County. I have no problem with Lamu County. I, however, have a problem with an impression being created that those counties, the number 47 counties, is a magic number and you cannot touch it. You know, these counties are 47, you cannot touch this. That is a wrong premise to begin in trying to entrench devolution. It is known and Sen. Cheruiyot will bear me witness, that I appeared before his Committee, the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) as I also did ... view
• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport the following Question. (a) What is the status of compensation to residents whose parcels of land were acquired for the construction of the Kibwezi-Athi-Mutomo-Kitui-Migwani Road? (b) Could the Cabinet Secretary indicate the outstanding balance of compensation, and state when it will be paid out? view
