• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: When the President was campaigning in 2017, he told the people of Nyamira that the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) will pass through Naivasha, Narok, Kericho, Ikonge and head to Kisumu. So, our people in Nyamira are eagerly waiting for the next phase because we all want to enjoy the network. I am waiting for the time when the President will invite us to take the ride from Nairobi to Naivasha and promise us when the SGR will extend to other areas. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a serious problem when it comes to infrastructure. Most contractors do not complete projects they are given on time. I will give an example of a road which is being constructed from Kijauri Market that will pass through Manga, Mecheo and terminate at Metamaywa. That project was meant to be finalised in October 2019 but what has been done is just 30 per cent. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: I hope that, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Coordination of Government; Dr. Fred Matiang‟I, who was tasked with supervising other Ministries, will push contractors so that they deliver projects on time. There is no point of a person signing for a contract and given money for a project that they are supposed to complete within 24 months but they take about 48 months to complete. That slows the development pace in this country and impacts negatively on the desire to ensure that we attain Vision 2030. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: I now want to speak on behalf of the coffee farmers who have been taking loans at high interest rates of up to 18 per cent. I applaud the President because he said that loans The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: will be affordable. This is so because farmers will be given loans at an interest rate of 3 per cent. We must continue supporting our farmers by giving them fertiliser at subsidized prices and other incentives, and also pay them on time. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am being alerted that my time is over but allow me to conclude in one minute. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my final comment was on the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). There is a report in today‟s newspaper that over Kshs800 million from the NG-CDF cannot be accounted for. You cannot disburse money, implement projects and oversight them. Our friends in the National Assembly should allow committees that have been set up under the NG-CDF to ensure that the NG-CDF projects are implemented. The role of MPs is to oversight the expenditure. If we continue losing NG-CDF money at that rate, we will not see the true value of the NG-CDF. view
• 11 Apr 2019 in Senate: With that, Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the Address by His Excellency the President. I thank you. view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank the Senator for Isiolo County for raising this issue before the House. I draw the attention of the House--- view
• 10 Apr 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, may I be protected from the Chairperson, of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights? I draw the attention of my good friend the governor for Isiolo County that in fact, the people we should indict is the County Government of Isiolo. This is because after the enactment of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, we enacted the Community Land Act in 2016. Under the Act, the county government is supposed to work in conjunction with the Cabinet Secretary, (CS) Ministry of Lands to ensure that communities are issued with title deeds for their land.
