• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: They do not even have a title deed. If you read through, the committee has made a clear finding that not even the County Government of Nyamira has given any allotment letter to KPS.They are using their guns to take over our wetland. This is something we must strongly condemn. I was told when I was in school that the Constitution is our supreme law and we all must abide by its provisions. The Constitution clearly states in Article 63 that the only way public land can be used is if it has been transferred from a specific community by ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: “Ensure sustainable exploitation, utilisation, management and conservation of the environment and natural resources, and ensure the equitable sharing of the accruing benefits.” view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I would like to understand the Cabinet Secretary who has allowed KPS to destroy our catchment in Nyamira, contrary to provisions of the Constitution. The word used implies mandatory. Article 69(1)(f) states that the State shall- view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: “Eliminate processes and activities that are likely to endanger the environment.” view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: The activities of KPS on Isiany Wetland in Nyamira are endangering the environment. I expected the committee led by Sen. John Methu to call out the Government for failing to protect the environment. Most parts of this country have what we call water stress because the water tables are deep. The report confirms that the water table in this area is very favourable. If we allow KPS and others to destroy this catchment area, we will not be fair and kind to the people of Nyamira. The committee has observed that there has been a lot of dumping. There is ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: have received Kshs150 million. I hope that money has not ended up in the pockets of people in the County Government of Nyamira. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in this country, people exchange bribes every minute, both in the national and county governments. You receive money from a donor to assist in climate change, but you pocket it as a governor with your officers. Why can he not take steps to direct the climate change money to rehabilitate this wetland? We want money that is given to us by our donors to impact the lives of the people who reside in ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, pray that this committee should decide. This Petition is so important that it necessitates them visiting Nyamira physically to ascertain the physical status of this wetland and also report one-on-one on the activities being undertaken that pose a threat to this wetland. I support. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform Sen. Cherarkey who is a very good student of mine. I worked very hard to ensure that he is admitted to the role of advocates. He is doing very well. However, it is good for us to have our facts. The people who appropriate money for us is the Budget and Appropriations Committee of the National Assembly, okay. So, the problem is not the commission. When we know the facts, we are able to argue our case properly. From our end, the commission makes an adequate request or wish list for the ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: My neighbour, the Senator for Migori, should know some languages are unparliamentary, including using the word ‘heckling’. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that he should not mislead the country by referring to the Senator of Mombasa, County 001 as being one of the lawyers who have been inducted into the roll of Senior Counsel. For the record, the Senator of Mombasa, County 001, has not been inducted into the roll of Senior Counsel. Thus, you are out of order by referring to Mohamed Faki as Senior Counsel. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Any Senator speaking before the House should be able to support the facts that he lays before this House. Sen. Cherarkey has stated that the PSC has spent Kshs200 million to repair the damage that was caused by the Gen Z invasion of 25th June, 2024. Whereas, Parliament is fully insured, it is Old Mutual Insurance that we will undertake the repairs. Can he substantiate which PSC has spent the Kshs200 million to undertake repairs? view
