• 13 May 2025 in Senate: These establishments we see called 7-Eleven, they were started as a small shop store, but now, it is a big franchise in many cities in the world. I hope that once this Bill becomes law, that is what we will expect. I do not know whether there is any city as blessed as Nairobi with a game reserve at its boundaries. However, I do not think in the world we can say we are famed for a city that is most known for gaming. We are not. Instead those accolades are taken by San Francisco that does not have the ... view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: This is a very good Bill. I hope it can take the structure of our own Law Society of Kenya where we come up with a remuneration order, so that people who have demonstrated talent can be remunerated. view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, who in Kenya does not know Embarambamba, that musician from Kisii? If you ask how much he has been paid by the Government, you will find it is a few shillings here and there. It is proposed in this Bill that we come up with proper remuneration for our musicians. We listen to their music on KBC and Citizen televisions, but at the end of the year, do they benefit? view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: Talking about fashion, the Maasais are famed for the shuka . If one goes to Sarova White Sands Hotel in Mombasa, every tourist who comes to Kenya wants to clad themselves in the shuka not because they saw the Senator of Narok. That is what the Maasais are famed for. view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: Who has created an intellectual property right over those Maasai shukas, so that if you come to Kenya and you want to get a dress that is identified with the Maasais, there is somebody somewhere who will benefit from that industry? It is not there. I hope hon. Senators will pass this Bill because there are a number of people who benefit from it. view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: When we talk of the creative industries we see online from our youth, I do not know whether there is any country that has attracted the attention in Tik Tok more than Kenya. They post things we all laugh about and share. At the end of the day, those young people do not earn anything from it. view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: I hope, Sen. Eddy, the body that you have proposed in this Bill can be strengthened. This is because I can see you are mentioning one person nominated by the association representing the largest member of person on the music industry. How will we pick and know who has the largest number of persons in the music industry? view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: I think we need to tie it there. I think we should create a body where people will apply, register and then we are able to say that they elect themselves or apply in a competitive way and pick the person who is best in that industry. view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, for the lawyers, I would propose we reserve this slot for a young lawyer. You have proposed that we should get an advocate of the High Court of Kenya nominated by the Law Society of Kenya. Sen. Cherarkey, I will propose that we reserve that slot for the young lawyers. If we say “an advocate” and give it to a 67-year-old, that person may not be in tune with the happenings. Let this be reserved for the young lawyers. The beauty with the Law society of Kenya is that they have an association, so it will be ... view
• 13 May 2025 in Senate: eulogize the late Pheroze Nowrojee who wrote articles. I think the last was penned last year. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am told from those articles, the newspapers pay Kshs100,000 per article. Now, if this thing is well regulated and you have somebody who is talented in penning articles to these newspapers, you are talking about somebody who is earning an income of Kshs400,000 a month just by writing an article to our local newspapers over the weekend. I know there is a time one of our lawyers, George Kegoro, used to also write for view
