Orengo alisimama kidete kwa upande wa upinzani. Rekodi zake zimejiandika na kwa hakika, wakati kulikuwa na vuta nikuvute katika kinyang’anyiro cha uchaguzi, Sen. Orengo aligonga vichwa vya habari na kuweza kupeleka sehemu ile yake mbele. Sen. Orengo anafaa katika cheo ambacho amechaguliwa na kwa wakati huu, tunamkaribisha kuongozi wa wale walio wachache katika Bunge hii la Seneti.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to support this Paper before me; a very big document. There is a large percentage of people moving from rural areas to urban centres. It means that urban centres are getting large populations from rural areas. In line with this, urban centres should be managed. The only way to manage them is to get good transport, housing, electricity, water and the sewerage system developed in a proper way. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to ensure proper development of infrastructure, it would be better to have a Ministry of urban development ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to add my voice to that of my colleagues. Revenue collection is very crucial at all levels, be it at the National or county level. Having gone through this report, I have seen some few things to speak about. If counties sleep on their jobs and fail to collect revenue and then we go through and pass legislation in this House saying that every county should go and undertake development or what they want to do using whatever they collected, then that means that some counties will be stuck. Therefore, ...

Thank you Madam Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. As we all know, we experienced a long drought for several years. That touched on the livelihood of our people mostly from where I come from; Tana River County, the neighbouring counties that I travel through like Kitui County and the northern Kenya counties which are prone to this drought. As I was travelling through Tana River County, I witnessed people die in shallow wells in search of water for their livelihood, domestic use and for their livestock. It is serious to go through this experience. On the other side, ...

Asante Bw. Spika, ningependa kuunga mkono Hoja iliyoletwa na Seneta Mwaura. Wakenya walitoa maoni yao tarehe nane mwezi wa nane na wakamchagua Rais Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta kwa wingi wa kura million moja nukta nne. Korti imeamua turudie uchaguzi na katika hali ya kurudia, Rais wetu Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta amekubali kurudi apigiwe kura tena na sisi tunahakika na wala hatuna shaka Uhuru Muigai Kenyata atashinda tarehe ishirini na sita na tumejitayarisha kurudi kwa uchaguzi. Bw. Spika, unavyoona nyumba hii wapinzani wengi wako nje barabarani pamoja na wananchi wa Kenya na wameweza kuwapotosha. Mimi ningependa sana wananchi wa Kenya wasipotoshwe na hakuna ...

Asante, Bw. Spika. Nachukua nafasi hii kuwashukuru watu wa Tana River County kwa kunichagua kama Seneta wao. Pia ningependa kuwapongeza Maseneta wenzangu waliochaguliwa na walioteuliwa. Ninakupongeza wewe na naibu wako kwa kuchaguliwa kuongoza Seneti hii. Mwisho, ninaipongeza Kamati tekelezi ya Bunge hili kubwa iliochaguliwa. Bw. Spika, nikichangia Hotuba ya Rais wa Kenya ningependa kuunga mkono na kumpongeza juu ya kielelezo chake cha amani, umoja na uwiano. Si vizuri kwetu kama viongozi kugawagawanya Wakenya katika misingi ya kikabila, dini au vyama. Wakati huu ambao tunaelekea uchaguzi wa pili wa Rais inapasa watu wetu wote wahubiri amani ili nchi yetu iendelee. Nchi ...
