• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, as a country, we should create an incentive to incentivise people who are developing renewable energy because it is friendly to the environment. Moreover, it is cheap because it is in abundance like solar energy; God has given us that in some parts of this country. I said the other day in this House, that we do not have electricity in my county. Fifty years down the line, we rely on generators that are not reliable. Wajir Town is in darkness 70 per cent of the time. If we make solar energy so expensive, it will lead ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I wish to congratulate the Senator for Wajir County for bringing this Statement. Wajir County does not only remit those deductions but even allowances for trips and the like are never paid to the staff.

First of all, let me state that I support the Statement by Sen. Were, and thank her for bringing this matter to the Senate. When those people retire, they expect that they at least get their money regularly, because they are now aged, and that is the time they need that money. Also, when people’s pension is deducted, that money is usually used for other investments, so that it ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you. Since they relied on that person for income, and now the person is gone and they do not get their benefits, they are left without school fees, housing and everything else in terms of the lifestyle that they were used to. view
• 8 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is an urgent matter. The Committee that is allocated needs to fast track this issue so that there is the restoration of benefits to those people. view
