• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Sen. Sakaja put it rightly that when it comes to advertisements, they also have the aesthetic value of it. For instance, when you go to a county and see advertisement for a product, you see the beauty of the county. Advertisements also help consumers to know where to get a specific product. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: We should consider the amendments from the National Assembly, so that it becomes law. I support. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Bill before us. I begin by commending Sen. Farhiya and Sen. Sakaja for coming up with this Bill. It is a timely Bill geared towards correcting some of the wrong in budget making process in counties. There is need for a legal framework to ensure that those who supply goods and render services are paid promptly because many people take loans to do business with counties. Sometime banks do not even give them a grace period within which they are supposed to start servicing their loans. ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: they do not benefit because when they do business with Government entities they are not paid promptly. There is need for them to be paid promptly so that they can continue supplying goods and rendering services to the Government. It is a pity that people we refer to as briefcase service providers are always paid upfront without supplying goods or rendering any service to the Government. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, sometimes you will find contractors of roads are paid upfront even before the construction of roads commences or is completed. When it comes to women, PWDs and youths, sometimes they ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, many times persons with disabilities (PWDs) lack the opportunity and they end up not making it economically. That is why I have said many times that we have to see how to help PWDs improve economically so that the cyclic nature of poverty does not recur in their families. When you follow most PWDs, their families are languishing in poverty. Some of them are not able to take their children to school. Some of them are not able to manage themselves. I will say on the Floor of this House that when many people look at ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this noble Petition that has been brought by Sen. (Dr.) Mbito. Kenya is one of the nations that signed the Maputo Declaration. It asserted that State parties allocate 10 per cent of the national revenue to go agriculture. Agriculture plays a big role in the economy of this country. As a Senate, we have to see how to encourage farmers because that is business. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: This Petition is timely. The Kenya Seed Company should be a representative of all farmers in this Republic. We have to see how to stand with our farmers because they are self-employed and they create employment. Apart from creating employing, they use land, a factor of production, effectively. We see our women and youth working very hard on land and there must be returns. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: We have to look for a mechanism of ensuring that there is a framework to help our farmers. It should not be a theoretical framework but a workable framework so that the farmers benefit. We should not have cases where maize is imported from outside the country when our farmers have maize in their stores. We have to see how to create an exit for our farmers produce. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: As I support this Petition, I hope that when it goes to the right committee, they will expedite the process and ensure that we cushion our farmers. This is because just like anybody else, they have needs such as school fees. In fact, they do not have hospital insurance for their children. They have to get money from their farm produce. We should ensure that we help the farmers in Kenya. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support. view
