• 5 Nov 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot be talking of creating jobs for our youth - giving figures of about 500,000 jobs per year - then stifle competition in the sector supposed to generate those jobs be it in the specific case of East African Breweries Limited (EABL) or any other sector. I urge the Committee to look very clearly and seriously at what the Competition Authority is doing to sort out this kind of issues. Since, we have been creating authorities and commissions that go to sleep immediately they are created. They do not take their job seriously. I urge the ... view
• 4 Nov 2020 in Senate: Thank you. Madam Deputy Speaker. I have heard the opportunity of using the Airport at Wajir, when I used to travel from Mandera. They have thorough security checks there. At that time, there were even flights from outside the country, which passed through there. Now, these are local flights which originate from Wajir to Wilson and back. Much as it is a security issue, there should be equal treatment among Kenyans and must be seen to be done. When someone boards a plane from Wajir, the next landing point is Wilson. Since that person has not done anything mid-air, what ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support the Speaker’s Communication regarding the recent court case. I thank all the Senators because it was a joint decision of the Senate to go to court on this issue. I thank our able Senior Counsels, Sen. Orengo and Sen. Omogeni, as well as Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for representing the Senate pro bono and making sure that the position of the Senate is not eroded through the back door by the National Assembly, which is trying to do away with our legislation making mandate by introducing their ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in Senate: Assembly will mean a money Bill because that is already a position that requires to be filled and remuneration. Now we have to make use of this ruling and ensure that all those legislations, over 20 of them, which by-passed this House, have to come back and go through the legislative process right from publication all through. If it will require mediation, so be it, so that we can now sit down and come up with a legislation, which is in the interest of the citizens of this country but not legislation that is passed mysteriously because somebody is trying ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, of late, there has been a lot of constructions or infrastructural works around Mombasa. It is worrying if the latest section of the road to be constructed is already failing. I would like to add that when the Chairman brings the responses, we need to know very clearly how that section was constructed. Whenever a road is completed, normally it should have well-built drains. We also need to know that so that we know where the problem is. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. This Bill attempts to provide 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
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: legislation for the implementation of the Equalization Fund. It is a very important Fund, such that even when we are talking about the formula, it was being suggested that, that Fund needs to be used to offset the concerns of the marginalized areas that were losing money because of factors like population, which are not their favor. However, as you can see, this Fund has been there for the last ten years, and it has not been used. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Looking at Article 204 of the Constitution, I do not know whether it was a Bill that was required to operationalize this fund or it was somebody somewhere who did not want to implement the Fund. If you look at the way the Article is set out, it states the purpose of the Fund. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Article 204 gives very clearly a breakdown of how that Fund is supposed to be used. It even states very clearly that the national Government could even use the funds directly to address the areas stated out very clearly in the Bill, that is, water, roads, health and electricity in the marginalized communities. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: I do not know what prevented the national Government all this time to have given these funds indirectly to the counties. That would have been a very clear and easy route to go because the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) has indicated in Article 204 (4) to be consulted before that Fund is used. view
