• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. According to the Jubilee agenda, we have four things that we need to accomplish. One of them is industrialisation or having factories across the country. If we are closing the factories we have, then we are retracting on the agenda. The other issue is the forming of an ad hoc committee although I hear there are four Committees that need to handle this issue. In joint committees, there are usually view

• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: quorum issues. It is very difficult to get quorum for all the committees at the same time. I recommend that we have an ad hoc Committee so that this issue is handled expeditiously. When we are constituting the ad hoc committee, my recommendation is that we should deal with the people who come from that area so that they can handle the matter very well because they are passionate about it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, due to environmental issues, there is a big problem and there is need for a balancing act. If we continue with degradation of the environment, we ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not sure you got my point.

Kajwang’ is still on the Floor so that it is captured in the HANSARD; in terms of the researcher, is there a specific recommendation to this Bill that we can improve, which I beg you to either sponsor or let me have because I think we need to move it to the next level? Thank you. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the Senators who have contributed to this Bill and made far-reaching recommendations. At the end of this debate, I will request the HANSARD team to print for me all the contributions that were made to this Bill, so that the Bill can be improved. I am open to improving the Bill. However, I do not want it to be diluted in such a way that it is not better than all the other Bills that we had. Corruption needs to be fought. This Bill will benefit even the corrupt. Corruption is rampant ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. That helps very much. I will not waste time asking people to make the correct amendments. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in Senate: The other thing was around the second section of this law, which is, deferred prosecution agreement. Some people said that it would be better if the plea bargaining should have been taken care of. However, I think these procedures are more detailed and finance oriented. So many countries have used the kind of deferred laws that I am talking about. Some of them are the United States of America (USA), United Kingdom (UK), view
