• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the one which has expired because the other one was on 27th September. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the one on the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), we have an issue with the information. We have not gotten the information on the compensation--- view
• 4 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Allow me to congratulate Sen. Farhiya for the detailed report. Madam Temporary Speaker, the importance of the Committee is in as far as making sure that the regulations in whatever Bills we pass are brought to this House. Last week, we were debating the amendments to the Statutory Instruments Act. It was a pity that the Senate had been left out in the process of checking the regulation. Madam Temporary Speaker, we pass good laws with very good and clear intentions. However, when we give that responsibility to another body or other office to come ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have noted the Statement. We will take it up and get back to the Senator once we get the CS. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would just like to summarise my secondment of this Bill. For the benefit of the Members, whenever we make a Bill, we normally have some regulations to be made by some particular authorities. If it is a Cabinet Secretary (CS), we say that the regulations will be done by the CS. A Bill which was passed by this House together with the National Assembly, whatever it contains, any statutory instrument, need to be also checked by this House. But, the Statutory Instrument Act, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: 2013, excluded the requirement that the Senate also has to look at those statutory instruments before they are passed. That is where we have problems. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: I mentioned a case of the Community Land Act which we passed together with the National Assembly but the regulations which were made by the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Lands, did not come to this House. When we passed that law, we expected that the regulations should also be in line with the spirit with which we passed the law. But if the regulations do not come to this House, then it means that somewhere along the line, we are not fulfilling our responsibilities as legislators and also as defenders of counties because these laws affect counties. If regulations are ... view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Mover of this Bill for coming up with this legislative proposal that will anchor the requirements; that when we have exploitation of natural resources, there must be benefit in terms of the skills transfer and available business opportunities to the locals of that area. 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
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, oil exploration has been done in my county going back to 1986/1987. In fact, some locals have been complaining about it because of other reasons. However, the main reason is that when those foreign companies come in, there is no clear guidance on how they should interact with the locals in terms of what business they are doing and how the locals can benefit. You will then find somebody coming up with everything; from skilled to unskilled labour. If he has been working somewhere else, and he has trained some skilled labour, he will come with ... view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is good that the Bill says that its purpose is to come up with maximization of value addition and creation of employment for the locals, use of local resources, expertise, and all that. That, in itself, will develop the skills of the locals in the extractive industry. They will get employment directly and have a priority in terms of provision of services. I know of a case where a company was exploration for oil in Laisamis Town, but they were buying food from a supermarket in Nairobi. These were things which the locals could have provided to them. Therefore, ... view
