• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for affording me the opportunity to respond. Let me start by thanking various Senators who have contributed to this Bill. I thank the Senator for Nandi County, Sen. Cherargei, for seconding this Bill. Sen. (Dr.) Zani, thank you for that very good contribution. Sen. Sakaja, thank you so much for that very well taken exposition. Sen. Omogeni, Sen. (Dr.) Lang’at, and Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, thank you so much. I also thank my friend, Sen. Were. I have listened to each and every contributor. I have taken notes and I am so humbled. This is not ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: that we hurry up and pass this Bill, so that we may find other opportunities in other countries that are indecisive. That is why they are slowly turning into an English speaking country. I have also heard other Senators talk about the importance of increasing our embassies overseas. If you go to Saudi Arabia, you will find that the Mission serves countries in the adjoining region. We know that Saudi Arabia and those other countries neighbouring Saudi Arabia is a new market that is being opened up. To that extent, then, it makes sense for us to increase embassies in ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: human rights are violated, as a country, we have a mechanism through which we can ensure they can report to us. The last time I checked the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) data on remittances, it was almost Kshs200 billion per annum. That is a lot of money that we must at least give back by creating a desk for our people in diaspora. Madam Temporary Speaker, I encourage the people in the diaspora, who may be watching us today that we are with you. That is why we have brought this Bill before this honourable Senate. We want to ... view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.61 (3) to request that you defer the putting of the question on this Bill to a later date. view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I am glad that this Bill has been brought before this House by Sen. Halake for several reasons. First, I have been carrying out some seminars in Murang’a County to teach the law of succession to mainly the clergy. I have dealt with these issues on a day to day basis. I recall last week, on Wednesday or so, I was with the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) Women Guild at Maganjo, Kamahuha, that is, in Maragua Constituency. I was with the entire Murang’a ... view

• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: remember the Land Act that collapsed the various pieces of legislation on land that were existing then, like Government Lands Act, Registered Land Act and Registration of Titles Act. They were all collapsed into one piece of legislation. Madam Temporary Speaker, however, we forgot as a country to review the law of succession. I am glad that this is the first attempt for us to modernise the Law of Succession. We shall all die and be subject to the Law of Succession. I would imagine that it is something that touches on every Kenyan out there. When a person dies ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate the drafters and Movers of this Bill, reason being that Kenya has had several disasters. Therefore, it was important that we come up with a Bill that tries to collate various measures that are used by Government to remedy those disasters. Those disasters include floods and terrorism related cases, which can cause some form of disasters. They also include hunger. We all know that there is a huge region in this Republic of Kenya that is very exposed to disasters, which arise out of various natural phenomenon. To that extent, we need ... view
