• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: 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
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko is a unifier although we are saying he is a product of the handshake and truly he is. I appreciate the fact that my colleague, Sen. Sakaja went down to campaign for him and to also tell the people of Migori County that the party was supporting Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko. Those who were there when the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) Government was being formed and the estimates that were being drawn to ensure that the unity between the leaders after the 2002 elections bore fruits. Sen. Ochillo-Ayako was one of the people who ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko has been a Member of Parliament (MP), Cabinet Minister and served in parastatal organisations as my colleagues have said. So, it is an honour to have somebody with such qualifications, distinction and skills to be part of us. I congratulate the people of Migori County who are here. They are very unique. Once they decide, you can always rest assured that it will be carried through. If anybody had any doubt that Sen. Ochillo-Ayako was, in fact elected, he was truly elected with the majority of the electorate in Migori County. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only thing which is not allowed in our paper money, according to Article 231 of the Constitution, is having the image of any person. That is being addressed as Sen. Mwaura has indicated. However, nearly all countries do not have distinguishable features; what I normally call tactile markings or braille like dots in their paper money, to enable people who are visually impaired distinguish denominations. Some countries have denominations in different sizes like Kenya and some people fold different denominations of paper money in different ways to be able to distinguish them. The electronic version ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: However, the world is moving very quickly. Canada was the first country to try and have paper money that has got these features. Australia, the European Union and the United Kingdom are moving fast with this. Kenya, especially Nairobi, being what it is, should be among the first, particularly in Africa, to have money with distinguishing features. Right now, there is technology that is available, including mobile applications which can be used to identify bank notes. Thank you, Sen. Mwaura, for bringing this Petition and the Petitioners should be commended. This is the time to do it when we are ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I commend Sen. Khaniri for making this very comprehensive and extensive Statement. I was reading somewhere that Kenya is the third highest debtor to China after Ethiopia and Angola. It is a worrying situation because the debt portfolio for the entire continent to China is about one-fifth of the debt owed by African countries to the rest of the world. I am beginning to see the sense why you normally get almost 100 per cent quorum of African leaders in Beijing and not 100 per cent in the African Union (AU) meetings in Addis Ababa. The ... view
