• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Petition. I want to thank the Petitioners for coming up with this Petition because yes, we need to safeguard and protect forests. However, the citizens also need security, as stipulated in Article 43 of our Constitution; so this needs to be a balancing act. The Government needs to ensure that in as much as the forests are being protected, they should not stress the citizens unduly in the process of doing so. These people have lived in the forests for so many years, from one generation ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Speaker for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this report on the Petition. I support this report. I am a Member of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and we were actually impressed when the petitioners appeared before the Committee. The petitioners were young Kenyan Citizens. We even had stakeholders like KRA, DCI, EACC and HELB who came on board. It was a good thing for all these stakeholders to come on board because youth unemployment is an issue of great concern in this country. Kenya ranks high in East Africa on the ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you. This is a way of giving incentives to young people to go for TVET courses, because at the end of the day, they will be self-employed. Madam Temporary Speaker, indeed, it came out clearly from the stakeholders that they were keen that fresh students and young people who are seeking jobs should not be obligated to be cleared. Organizations should not be hell-bent that this clearance must be there. Initially, you will find that these are job-seekers. They do not have money, and they have a lot of stress. There is need to help these youth so that ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to make an observation. I would like to start by thanking the Committee on Roads and Transportation for doing a commendable job. When we look at this Petition, it is very valid because these people are talking about issues of delay of compensation. Compensation should be immediate and it should not be delayed so that the people can organize themselves. This is because by the time this land is being taken, it takes families unawares. Therefore, for them to even heal psychologically and adjust to the new lifestyle, having lost ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: should not be done in terms of favoritism. There should be a planned way of compensating the people impartially. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to support. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to join you in welcoming the MCAs from Kilifi County. I would like to inform the MCAs that Sen. Madzayo is their defender in this House because he is very keen on issues that concern Kilifi County. Sen. Madzayo is a true representation of Kilifi County because he is keen on coming up with policies and legislation that benefit not only Kilifi County but the entire nation. I encourage the MCAs of Kilifi County Assembly to take interest in oversight because they are well rooted on the ground. It ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the MCAs should also be engaged in public participation. Sometimes, the local ‘mwananchi’ is not aware of what is happening, but the MCAs can give them true information. I encourage the MCAs to come up with a development agenda for their counties which will help them in resource management and assessment of their goals. I thank you. view

• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this Statement. It is important for us to have mechanisms for giving royalties to communities that are supposed to benefit from the mining industry. I looked at the background of this Statement and realized that a number of minerals have been extracted in Taita Taveta but the residents have not benefited from the proceeds of mining; they are wallowing in poverty without hospitals or schools. We need to have indicators of mining. Land owners need to be compensated when minerals are found in their land. ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As we commemorate the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) that is marked globally on 3rd December every year, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.47(1), to make a Statement on the commemoration of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, scheduled for 13th December, 2019. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is an international human rights Treaty of the United Nations, intended to protect the rights and dignity of people with disabilities. It was ratified on 13th ... view
