• 23 Oct 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you very much for allowing me to contribute to this important Statement. view
• 4 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Petition. I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating the Senator for Isiolo. It is good to take care of issues in a proactive manner than wait for counties to lose money then start engaging on postmortem issues. It is good to tackle issues immediately they start. Therefore, I congratulate the Senator for Isiolo for that. This is about accountability to the people of Isiolo County. This venture can be used as part of corruption. Therefore, I encourage us to tackle this issue right now so that it ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate you for leading us to Uasin Gishu County. I also congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for being a great host and for Uasin Gishu County making history by being the first county for the Senate to have a sitting in. I happened to sit in one of the meetings of the Committee on Finance and Budget. Like Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said, when you put ladies into leadership positions, they execute their roles very well. We had a Chief Officer (CO) in one of our plenaries discussing the issue of budgets and their cycles in ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to ride on this Statement because these warms are in Wajir too. They are depleting animal pasture fields and affect all farmers keeping cows, goats, sheep and camels. I agree that it should be looked at as a national problem that is not just limited to those counties. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker Sir. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker Sir, when any Kenyan is taxed in another country, whatever tax he pays in this country is normally deducted. That is what I want to inform him about because that is provided for in the Taxation Act. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Thank you so much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will try and finish as fast as I can so that I even take less time if I am able. As I had mentioned yesterday, people from the County of Turkana where I happened to work in my life, have a lot of challenges in terms of poverty levels. I again request the House not to throw away this Bill but amend it so that it is appropriate. In my mother tongue, there is a saying that goes: “Do not eat a dead body because you are hungry”. In that context, ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: My comment is that, unless it is stipulated - reference is not made in this Clause - we need to know what that security entails; what the value of that security is, so that ambiguity in terms of that security that is described in this Bill is cleared. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Clause 12, for the establishment of committee members to the National Upstream Petroleum Advisory Committee, my recommendation would be to amend it so that instead of everybody, they should be nine of them out of which, only one person should be from the County. I recommend that ... view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 13(2) says- “Where the Cabinet Secretary rejects any advice given under this section, the reason for the rejection shall be communicated in writing to the Advisory Committee within fourteen days.” However, if the decision that is communicated by the CS is not plausible to the Committee members, the Bill does not give us what action they can take in terms of also communicating back. This, therefore, comes back to what was being discussed yesterday, about the CS having absolute powers. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 58(5) says- “Parliament shall review the percentages under this Section within 10 years.” I do not have a problem with Parliament reviewing these percentages within ten years, but I wish that we can include a clause that protects the existing one that is approved in this. That way, if Parliament reviewed the percentage to the communities, it can only improve. view
