• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Very emotionally, the Senator for Taita Taveta told you that there is a problem on the boundary between those two counties. There are very many others that I may not mention here, including Isiolo County where our Deputy Senate Majority Leader come from. They have problem--- view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if they were able to agree, that is very good. We have the one between Garissa and Isiolo. Many of these have remained unresolved. In fact, instead of leaving these to our courts and judicial systems, let us take advantage of the provisions of Article 159. What Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is doing is actually invoking the provisions of Article 159 and promoting alternative forms of dispute resolution. This Bill is very progressive. It is a good one. I wish that we had enacted it into law earlier, but it is never too late. Members should ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: We should really challenge our governors, including the incoming Governor of Makueni, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., to create an economic environment that is friendly to investors and business people. This is so that counties can grow. Madam Temporary Speaker, I like the composition of the Mediation Committee that is captured in Part III. The chairperson must be an advocate of the High Court of Kenya with not less than 15 years’ experience because these are serious matters that one is going to arbitrate on. It is good that we pick an advocate that has good experience. This is a qualification ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Kenyans should listen to this. To show the seriousness of the IEBC, in Clause 5, the chairperson must hold qualifications of being appointed a judge of the Supreme Court. That is serious business. This is a Bill that our colleagues in the other House need to embrace and support because of the seriousness it has been accorded. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I can see that my time is up. The other issue is the fact that disputes should be addressed in the shortest time possible. That is within a period of 30 days which is good. Timely resolution of disputes is a good thing in a system that embraces the rule of law. With those many remarks, Madam Temporary Speaker, I support and sincerely thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for this wonderful piece of legislation. I thank you. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to second the Lifestyle Audit Bill 2021. I first begin by thanking Sen. Farhiya for coming up with this Bill that is geared towards putting in place a mechanism that will assist this country in combating and fighting corruption. A lot of effort has gone into place before from Government in trying to put in place a framework that can increase accountability of people who have the privilege of handling public money and who may end up embezzling it. I want to disclose that previously before I moved into this ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: the National Assembly then, but that Bill was rejected and it never saw the light of the day. So, this is a very good effort by Sen. Farhiya and I hope that this time round, Parliament will see the wisdom of passing this Bill. It is said that this country loses a whopping Kshs608 billion annually to corruption. When you translate that, it is about 7.8 per cent of our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or a third of our budget. That is staring at a crisis. This country will never attain development, be transformed and will never catch up with ... view
