• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: agreement with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) being involved in ensuring that when it comes to irrigation, it is planned for and implemented. Many projects are done, but are neither planned for nor implemented. A case in point is a project we were talking about yesterday in the Senate that started some 10 years ago, but is still incomplete. Therefore, when the CS is brought on board, he or she will ensure that before an irrigation project starts, it is planned for. Even when it is planned for, it should also be implemented, and when implemented, it needs to have a ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also want to talk about periodical reports on the irrigation scheme. There needs to be a periodical report in the Senate or the National Assembly on how the project is going on, so that when money is taken there, we know that it will do a certain project. The money should be given in a staggered form, so that by the time a project is coming to an end, the contractors are given the last batch of their money. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to point out an amendment to Clause 13 concerning estimated expenditure for ... view

• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: poverty. Therefore, a project must be viable and managed transparently in terms of expenditure and how it benefits people. There is also another important amendment here. We cannot talk about irrigation without factoring in the issue of infrastructure. For example, if you go to North Eastern Kenya, maybe the road is not accessible. How will you begin implementing a project in a place that is inaccessible? When talking of an irrigation project, infrastructure, including the roads, has to come in. Water harvesting is also important in an irrigation setup because there are times when rains come favourably, but at times, ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Bill; the Community Groups Registration Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 20 of 2021) It is very clear that community groups have existed since time immemorial. I know, that especially women are very good at coming up with groups. They come in different forms; in terms of, merry-go-round where, for example, they meet every month and bring in some money. Some of these groups start small. In some groups, they actually come together, collect money every month and give to one woman to develop her home. ... view

• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: Awareness is very important because there are people who are not aware that they can join groups where they can improve themselves to be economically better than they are now. On groups, first of all, there is the issue of formation. People will come together and decide, “Yes, we really need to come up with a group”. After coming up with a group, and they want to register, then the registration needs to be fast tracked. Apart from that, county governments need to be involved so that when they are creating awareness to the groups--- Sometimes people form groups without ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: you will see that there are some helpless youths. They want to come up with a project, they have formed a group, but they do not know how to do a proposal for funding. These people need to be trained on how to write proposals for funding. The proposals should be taken over by the county governments so that if it is a group of youths or women, they are empowered so that eventually they become productive citizens. Madam Temporary Speaker, if all people are empowered from the ground, then the nation becomes better because no one will become a ... view
• 10 Feb 2022 in Senate: A group of ten can actually register as a community group. I am also happy about provision for special interest. Sometimes, in a community, it may be very difficult to find ten people with disabilities coming together. So, the provision for five for other special interests who are unable to come up with ten is good. This is because even if there are five champions who are focused on their goals, they can achieve them. This is because the essence of the group is to empower people and make them better than they are. One thing that comes out clearly ... view
