• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we think of tourism in the counties, there is need for all counties to ensure that all places in the counties are accessible. Tourists are not supposed to be confined in towns; they can even go inside of the counties to witness the scenario and engage with locals. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: I remember when I was young, there were some people who would come from very many counties and go to Tiriki land during the circumcision season. There was a way in which the season was attractive. Many people even came from Europe just to see how they did it; the dressing and all that. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: There are some people also who come to this country just to see how beautiful the Maasais are. The real Maasai person will not put on make-up. You will see them with very attractive jewellery and bangles that sometimes attract tourists. Sometimes even the shukas they wrap on themselves are specifically red and others blue. All these attracts tourists. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: When tourists come, we also have tourists especially our young people who are very vibrant. That energy should be used productively.

• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill is coming in handy to ensure that we are opening up counties. We must take services to the counties. When counties are able to identify tourist attractions and ensure that the atmosphere is conducive for them, there is going to be revenue for the counties. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: It is important for counties to come up with strategies and to have a register of the people licensed to carry out tourism. Those people should be accountable for the tourists who live under their care. This is because there are some tourists who live in homes, hotels and villas.

Sometimes, the tourists cannot be traced. There is need for whoever is hosting tourists to ensure that he has the biodata of ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: As we talk about tourists at the county level, there is need for counties to ensure that they also market their culture. Culture is a way of life that is expressed in many ways. For example, it can be expressed in terms of dance. Counties should, therefore, come up the way in which they dance for the purpose of ensuring that they attract tourists. This is because there are tourists who come and want to see those traditional dances in the comfort of their meals. Some of our children, instead of embracing our culture, have imported foreign cultures. view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: As we talk of food, if tourists come to a place such as Kitui, they should be eating view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: and other local foods so that they appreciate it. There is also need to ensure that those tourists who are not Kenyans learn Kiswahili because it is the lingua franca or English to ensure good communication. People go to countries and cannot even construct a sentence--- view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Olekina is distracting me. Sometimes tourists go to places where they cannot even construct a single sentence in the language that is used in that particular place; and they, at times, get into problems.
