• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my voice to this Bill. Our role as a Senate is very clear; that we represent and also protect the interests of the counties. As we protect the interests of the counties, there is need for us to ensure that county assemblies are strengthened to perform their duties, as mandated. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: Building the capacity of Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) is important when it comes to PPP arrangements. This is because when MCAs are empowered, they can perform their mandated duties with ease since they can question issues objectively. That way, MCAs will be strong enough because we would have given them teeth to bite and, therefore, they will not be toothless bulldogs. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the issue of consultation. When it comes to PPP arrangements, there is need for consultation and public participation at county levels on whatever projects that are undertaken in counties. This is because these projects should have the goodwill of the people. When a project has the goodwill of the people and public participation is done objectively, everybody will be happy about it when it is on course. This eventually helps to avoid many complaints about new projects and questions on whether there was public participation. Therefore, there is need for approval by the county ... view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also agree that there is need for feasibility studies to be carried out on upcoming projects in order to reveal whether a project is viable or not. With feasibility studies, we are able to know if there are any unforeseen and visible risks. It also ensures that visible risks are attended to and provides for how do deal with unforeseen risks. For example, where a deal goes sour and there are liabilities, people know how that is handled. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: There is need for proposals to be done so that we know how county governments benefit from projects. When a proposal is being done, it is important that procurement of whatever is agreed upon is done in a procedural and transparent manner. This will ensure that no questions will be asked with regard to what was procured, who was given the tender and all that. There is need for policies to be put in place to ensure that procedures are done in a manner where there is a win-win situation for both parties in a PPP arrangement. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. Allow me kindly start by thanking Sen. Mwaruma for coming up with this Motion. I would like the people of Taita Taveta County to know that there is a Senator in the House who is concerned about them and is representing them. He does not fear, is courageous and he is ready to talk about the issues that are affecting the people of Taita Taveta. view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: The nation should know that Sen. Mwaruma is really concerned about his people and he has followed up on this Motion many times. I am happy it has come to floor of this House. The issue of coexistence is very important. We are aware of the importance that wildlife has to everyone and all nations. We also know that if wildlife is not managed well, it can have devastating effects on a nation. I believe that by the end of the debate, the Government will put some mechanisms in place to ensure that we protect our wildlife because it has ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Tourists come here to see wildlife and they come with the Dollar. When they come to see the endemic species, the hotels are booked which leads to employment of cooks, drivers and security staff hence it creates employment in the nation, which is important. Their coming also creates employment for the tour guides who will take them around hence wildlife. As a nation, we have to see how to harness our wildlife so as to ensure that it is working for us positively and that it does not have a negative impact to the nation. There are some nations that ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: I also want to look at the other side of the coin. Wildlife is good but there are instances when the wild animals have attacked people leaving the families hurt and some are still hurting. In a situation where a lion has killed someone, the affected family can never forget the experience for the rest of their lives. In a situation where the sole breadwinner is killed by a wild animal, the entire family will be affected in terms of education, shelter, and provision of all the other basic needs. It also means that their The electronic version of the ... view
