• 19 May 2020 in Senate: There is progress being made, but also concerns. For example, the deadline for making returns to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) on some statutory payments is tomorrow, but there are stakeholders who have raised concerns. What, for example, happens to the people who are in Eastleigh and may not be able to leave and go to their offices to make their online payments? view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: As we go forward, we are trying to extend our engagements with the KRA, so that people who have found themselves in a situation where they have to respect the Government restrictions on movement are not penalized by KRA. I think this is a period when we need understanding and extension of courtesy from our statutory bodies such as KRA. view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it will be sad if in the midst of this pandemic, some people are faced with punitive measures from coercive bodies such as KRA. view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: On the issue of income for landlords, this has been fairly emotive. As a Committee, we have taken the view that in as much as many Kenyans find themselves in a situation where things are not as normal as they are supposed to be, we also must protect the real estate sector. The issue of payment of rent and pardon by the landlords should be left to the tenant and the landlord. There should be least interference from this Committee or House on matters that touch in contractual relationship between tenants and landlords. view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: That sector is fragile and growing. It contributes a lot to the economy of this country. We have to be careful how we deal with these issues, so that we do not cause it to collapse. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 19 May 2020 in Senate: By and large, the Committee is making very good progress on the work that was given to it by this House. We seek the support of Senators, so that we can move together. view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to go on record as fully agreeing with the sentiments that have been put forth by Sen. Wetangula. As the Senator of Nyamira, I have been bombarded by many questions from the many farmers who grow coffee in Nyamira. I remind the CS for Agriculture that in terms The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 5 May 2020 in Senate: of square kilometers, the land we occupy in Nyamira may not be the same as the land in the county of --- So this idea of 75 per cent coffee coming from Central Kenya could be because of the land size. I know the CS for Agriculture. He is a colleague and a lawyer and a wise man. Wise men change their minds. He can read the mood of the House and see the sentiments of representatives of the people from Western Kenya and Nyanza. A mistake was made and there is time to correct it. It is not fair ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join hands with Sen. Sakaja and congratulate him for bringing this issue to the attention of the House. As a leader, I want to say pole to the people of Kariobangi for the very inhuman acts that have been vested on them. We are living in very extraordinary times and anybody in Government should exercise a lot of caution when passing any decision. Our courts of law have stopped any form of enforcement of any court order. You cannot walk to any house and purport to enforce any judgement from the court of law because the ... view
• 5 May 2020 in Senate: and the have-nots. The rich and the poor deserve a decent living in any society that respects human rights. These are the times that we need the emergency response team to make a decree and pass a resolution that from now going forward we should not see any form of evictions. This is happening all over the country. Last week, there were some evictions taking place in Nyamira in a town called Keroka. To be fair to the people we represent, at this time when we have this pandemic, we need to extend sympathy, understanding and love to everybody, including ... view
