  • 23 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Bill. However, I will do this with some exceptions. I would like this Bill to be considered as interim because the figure we have here is not what the Senate had proposed. I only consider it proper that the Senate allocates these funds because they are part of the whole; the Kshs258 billion passed by this House. I say so because the figure used was derived from the 2010/2011 audited accounts. The accounts which should have been used are the ones for the 2011/2012 Financial Year. I do not ... view

  • 10 Jul 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Motion as amended. I also thank the Mover of the Motion for bringing this very important issue in the economy of our country. Madam Temporary Speaker, livestock as a subsector is very important in our economy. A large area of our country is suitable for livestock keeping. A majority of the population in our country also depends on livestock.

This issue of compensation for the people of West Pokot is long overdue and it is not a favor that the people of West Pokot are asking for. It is their right under the Constitution. It has become almost a tradition in this country that projects are conceived, considered and feasibility studies are carried out – very beautiful ones – promising heaven on earth to residents of those areas where those projects will be domiciled. Madam Temporary Speaker, if I remember well when the Turkwel Gorge Project was initiated, ... view

The issue of pollution of our waters is a threat just like any other threat to the nation. Pollution is like a war declared on our nation. Our economy and health depend on clean water. We know, as ... view
