• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: I am happy about the progression of this Bill. The Bill has highlighted principles of citizens’ participation and that the public should be aware of whatever is happening. It has also highlighted about people accessing information. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: It is unfortunate that when you go to the counties, sometimes citizens are not aware of their rights and developments that are supposed to be done. They are also not aware that it is their right to have the development done. As a Senate, we need to think of how to sensitise people in mashinani concerning their rights. It is not something that you can compromise. If there are no roads, it is their right to have them and if they do not have water, it is their right to have it. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: There are some counties where people do not know that they are supposed to have benefited from rural electrification. As we speak now, there are some areas where people The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: live in darkness because they do not have electricity. It is embarrassing for me to say here that people in my neighbourhood do not have electricity. They have come to me several times and I have gone to Kenya Power many times to put their concern across. However, they have realised that I am just a nominated Senator and I may not have the ability to have electricity connected to their houses. That is why I still insist that there is need for citizens to know their rights. When they understand their rights, then they should be implemented. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: When you talk about public participation, there is need to ensure infrastructural development for the purpose of ensuring that members of the public can meet somewhere and be informed about what they do not know or the amount of money allocated to their county. They need to look at the budget and question it because they have a right to do so. The power lies with the people and not the governors or anybody else. So, there is need for them to be told rightly what is happening. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: I am happy that this Bill has highlighted the issue of infrastructure. When facilities are constructed people do not put in mind the Persons with Disabilities (PWDs). Shame on those who construct without thinking about the PWDs! I have visited counties where there are no facilities or infrastructure for PWDs. For example, I have seen some of them crawling to the toilet. We need to be sensitive to their plight. Some of them even wear adult diapers because they know that nobody cares about them. This Bill needs to address that primary need in terms of infrastructural development of counties. ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in Senate: Centre in Kasarani, I had to facilitate myself. How can I go to do oversight in Thika, Kakamega or Narok or any other county if I am not facilitated? We need to have the oversight fund for Senators for devolution to succeed in this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, nominated Senators have to cover wide areas of representation. If we are going to be effective in our work, then we need to be fully facilitated in terms of funds and other facilities. When we are effective, Kenyans will appreciate our work and say after all nomination of Senators is not a ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I truly appreciate the opportunity that you have given me to add my voice to this Motion. The issue of security is very important in this country. A country can never be stable without security. This nomination has come in handy, so that there is no gap in matters of security. I have not interacted with Mr. Henry. However, from the comments that my colleagues have given about Mr. Henry, I have no doubt that he has what it takes to pick up this position. I see the appointment of one Mr. Henry as ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am talking about Mr. Hillary, the IG. view
