I have no hesitation in supporting this report because I am adversely affected by the inefficiencies of power generation. I begin by thanking Sen. Wamatinga, the Chairperson of this Committee. I declare my interest that once this Report is fully implemented, I will be the first beneficiary. Mr. Speaker Sir, Sen. Cheruiyot and I get power from one line with the substation in Chemosit. That one line with 132,000 KVA supplies five counties including Kericho, Nyamira, Kisii, Migori and Homa Bay. Often ... view
• 27 Feb 2024 in Senate: Unless we allow competition - I expected that recommendation to be in this Report - Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Mungatana, and Sen.

• 21 Feb 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, under Standing Order No.105, we should not make statements that may be misleading to the public.

A bipartisan approach is the best way to amend the Constitution. So, Kenyans should not bash us, the political class, that we are on a mission to water down the Constitution of Kenya 2010. This attempt is to strengthen and fix what is not working in the Constitution. We have borrowed from many jurisdictions in accepting some of ... view
