• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: You can see, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. That is why I told you that the views that you receive from the public would be very interesting. Now, this is even another one, that it is not only the ladies, but there are also men who are waiting for the passage of this Bill, and then they say, now, if I get a child with that good Senator, then my children will be assured of inheriting something. That is the perception that came from the public. Many views will come and I think it is a good debate. It is good ... view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: personal effects are left to you as a spouse. There is no need of third parties coming in to try to take over properties that have been left behind by a diseased person. On the issue of adopted children, the Children Act addresses this very heavily. It is good to know that once a child has been adopted, he or she becomes a child. The word “adopted” is just used for a legal process. The moment a child is adopted through a legal process, by all intents and purposes, you become a child of that parent who has adopted you. ... view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. I am saying this just to understand how culture can really collide. Somebody gave us a view on cows within the Maasai Community, and we could not understand what this law was trying to propose when it said that if you are a widower, you had one wife and you lose her, that if you marry, you lose your cows. The Maasai could not understand. It was like, even if I was to marry another wife after the death of my spouse, the cows belong to me, so there is no way you can ... view
• 16 Jul 2024 in Senate: my daughter or child has died, then I should be the one taking the property.” The agitation was that both the father and the mother of the deceased child should inherit the property. I hope I am getting it correct, Sen. Veronica Maina, and I think that is a fair one in this era. In this era, both the mother and father should enjoy the fruits of their labour. If you lose your child, who does not have anybody succeeding them, that property should be shared equally between the mother and the father. I do not think that is controversial. ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Asante sana, Bw. Spika. Kwanza, nasimama kumuunga mkono Seneta wa Mombasa, Sen. Faki, kwa kuleta hii Taarifa katika Seneti. Kule niliposoma, tulikuwa tunatilia maanani sana somo la Kiswahili. Ukiwa mwanafunzi shupavu, ilikuwa lazima uwe umenoga katika kuzungumza lugha ya Kiswahili. Kwa hivyo, nawasihi ndugu na dada ambao wako katika shule, wajivunie kuzungmuza lugha ya taifa kwa sababu Kiswahili ni lugha ya taifa. Seneta wa Embu, Daktari Mundigi, akisimama kuchangia, yeye huongea lugha ya Kiswahili. Nilipomuuliza mbona, alisema ya kwamba, wakaazi wengi wa Jimbo la Embu wanaelewa Kiswahili. Kwa hivyo, akizungumza lugha ya Kiswahili, huwa wanampata moja kwa moja. Kwa hivyo, ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: sasa sisi kama viongozi tuhakikishe kwamba Miswada ambayo inakuja katika Bunge inachapishwa katika lugha ya kizungu na Kiswahili. Bw. Spika, kuna wengi ambao wangependa sana kusoma Mswada wa Fedha, 2024 ambao ulikuwa unajadiliwa katika Bunge la Kitaifa. Lakini, kwa sababu umechapishwa kwa Kiingereza, kuna wengi hawapati faida ya kuusoma huo Mswada. Kwa hivyo, tuweke bidii, tuhakikishe kwamba hii Miswada ikichapishwa katika lugha ya kizungu, pia tunaichapisha katika lugha ya Kiswahili ndiposa tuweze kukuza lugha ya Kiswahili. Waswahili wanasema tumemla ng’ombe mzima, mkia umetushinda. Hii ni kwa sababu, tukiweka hii Miswada katika Kiswahili, tutakuwa tumemla ng’ombe pamoja na mkia wake. Naomba ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also want to thank the Prime Cabinet Secretary for appearing before the Senate to respond to the questions posed to the Ministry. I want to ride on the questions that were asked by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and ask a supplementary question. I want to make a disclosure that I did raise this matter before the Prime Cabinet Secretary, so he is aware. I thank him for accepting to receive me when I The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: went to raise this question on the case of Joshua Mankone Amenya who is held up in Somaliland. Could the Prime Cabinet Secretary give us an update on whether there has been any progress to secure the freedom of this Kenyan held in Somaliland? Secondly, just a clarification on the response by the Cabinet Secretary. He says that Kenyans are attracted to work in the Gulf States because those countries provide high economic prospects for Kenyans. Could the Cabinet Secretary kindly give us a breakdown on the earnings of Kenyans who work in the construction industry, agricultural industry and the ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. I also want to thank the Cabinet Secretary for finding time to appear before the Senate to make clarifications on some of the issues. I have a supplementary question on the usage of Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLOCCA) money, which is used to finance locally-led climate action. The Cabinet Secretary has mentioned to us that the Government through her Ministry has put in place governance structures to ensure that this money is utilized and used for its intended purposes. I interpret that to mean that you will assist the Senate to ensure that that money ... view
• 10 Jul 2024 in Senate: no value for money because the project was not completed or launched for the benefit of the people who reside in the Raitigo area. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in response to that audit query, the Governor responded that he wanted to use money from the Climate Change Resilience Investment Fund to complete the project. How will the Cabinet Secretary ensure that the money we are sending to counties is not used as an avenue for governors to steal money that is meant for good purpose, like the climate change? I do not understand how money that has been set aside ... view
