• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform my good friend from Kakamega, Sen. Khalwale, that the people of Nyamira have not approached the Senate to get permission to go and settle in that wetland. They have petitioned the Senate so that it can intervene and protect the wetland. Therefore, the submissions that the Senator of Kakamega is making are misleading. I repeat that the people of Nyamira have not approached the Senate to give them free land. They want the Senate to assist them in ensuring that this wetland is protected and preserved so that they can benefit from a ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, for also giving me an opportunity to contribute to this report by the Senate Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources. This Petition involves people from my county, some of them who migrated from our neighbouring county represented by the Senator for Homa Bay, Sen. M. Kajwang’. In fact, the people who vote in Misambi, Mogonga and Nyaobe are communities of Luo-Kisii. I am sure three-quarters of people in Misambi Polling Station migrated from Kadongo. When I am in Nyamira and I want a nice fish, I go to Nyambambo Market because that is ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale used to be a Member of ODM and he ran away. I do not know why he is mourning more than the bereaved. He has no business commenting on the businesses of ODM. Now that he has heard of something called Broad-Based Government, he is trying to again warm up to ODM. We will deal with our issues; we do not need any advice or messages of comfort from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. That is meant to distract me. The point I was making is --- view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be happy to be informed by Sen. Beatrice Ogola. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, so just breathe in and out because you will be hearing a lot about ODM and the party leader going to the African Union (AU). Just get used to these things; they will occupy our spaces for a while now. During Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s contribution, I heard him try to create the impression that these petitioners have approached the Senate so that they can get a piece of the cake from this wetland. Those are not the prayers in the Petition. That is what I want Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to get. Number two; anybody invoking ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: generations, we make an effort and go to the ground so that we see the picture for ourselves. When we are preparing a report, we should be telling the Senate of the Republic of Kenya that we had the benefit of going all the way to Nyamira County, saw the activities being undertaken and the current status of that wetland. You can even take photos. The people of Nyamira County are very welcoming, we would prepare bananas for the Senators. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a big concern that they did not make any effort to visit the County ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Is there any Member, I do not think there is a Member of the committee. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Are you a Member of the committee? You can confirm if you visited Nyamira. Maybe I did not get it right. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that was a big oversight on the part of the committee. I hope you can revisit and make a physical visit to Nyamira. Sen. Dullo has left. She and Sen. Chute come from counties where they have community land. Community land should be used for the benefit of the people who reside in those counties. If you read the report, the committee confirms that this is a community land gazetted with a title under the County Government of Nyamira. However, KPS has taken over the land. If you read through the report, they have diverted a ... view
