• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, allow us to have two weeks so that we can handle the matter. We are happy that you have given a statement that we are safe. We will make sure that we do what is supposed to be done. Thank you. view

• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I am most obliged, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to support and contribute on this very important piece of legislation that has been executed by the Hon. Members and presented very ably on the Floor of this House by Hon. Fatuma Gedi, the presumptive Chair of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. I am very excited to hear that there are Kenyans who think about other Kenyans, and more specifically on issues of Kenyans who supply goods and services to the Government of Kenya and to the county governments that make up the Republic of ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I am excited that this piece of legislation will fill that gap, but we should actually amend the law to sort out these issues once and for all. There is a legal framework on payment for goods and services supplied to public entities. However, we have not come up with clear penalties for failure to pay even after suppliers of goods and services have been verified as having done what they were procured to do. We have heard of young women who have had to go through intimidation. They have had to come up with something so that they could ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I request that the Committee that has presented this honourable piece to try and see whether they can add more penalties to those that fail. It is because we have tried all the ways and it seems that there is still not a seamless process when it comes to procurement and payment of the same services. As I conclude, I know there is a lot of procurement… view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: It is number 278. Thank you. I appreciate. As I wind up my thoughts, I was asking whether we can have a black book in this country where we can list offices that fail to oblige and honour payment of people who have been verified to have done what they are supposed to have done and ought to be paid and have not been paid. I recommend that this blacklisting starts off all the way since the county governments and the devolution processes started in this country. With those very many remarks, I support the Regulations. Thank you. view
• 4 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Also thank you my Chair, Hon. William Kisang, for the wonderful presentation. I am very excited about this Bill and I look forward to the deliberations from this honourable House. This is because this Bill is going to bring a lot of soberness in the advertisement industry. Currently, we have a lot of confusion along the highways. We have many billboards blocking road view
• 4 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: signs, hospitals, police stations, railway lines, waterways and even blocking surveillance services that are normally used by our security bodies. Therefore, if we harmonise the way we place our billboards, road signs and advertisements, we will be able to make sure that such necessity signs are clear to the users of this country. I would be very keen to convince this House to adopt this Bill because we have had a lot of confusion with the stakeholders who are in the business of outdoor advertising. In the past, most people who have wanted licences to place their billboards along the ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Indeed, I have waited for a while because I felt that I have a duty to add my voice in the making of this Bill, so that our farmers can benefit from very hard-earned money that comes from tea. This Bill is creating an avenue into the creation of the regulatory Tea Authority of Kenya. The word regulatory makes me feel like we are going around in circles because this is not the first time we are regulating cash crops. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow ... view
• 20 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: improving in the support of farming practices - what we call the good agricultural practices? Are we increasing our investments in terms of adding more agricultural extension officers to help farmers improve their quality of tea? What is this that we are doing? Look at this regulatory tea authority that we are proposing. Are we going to improve efficiencies in the way we have been handling tea from the farm all the way to the factory and to the auction? Are we going to change the way we have been auctioning our tea? Are we going to provide the farmers ... view
