• 25 May 2021 in Senate: I recently saw a published article in one of the local dailies that talked about moving more to privatizing the national resources such as game parks and conservancies. That is a matter that should come before the Committee on Delegated Legislation because we want these natural heritages that include the animals in the parks to stay in the hands of the people to the greatest extent. There can be partnerships, but not to take away from Kenyans. At the moment, there are people who own conservancies of over 100,000 acres and limiting the people from the surrounding areas from accessing ... view

• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, while I appreciate the sentiments of my friend, Sen. M. Kajwang’, is it in order for Sen. Cherargei to be accused of misleading the House? Remember I chaired this Committee on COVID-19 Situation in Kenya and one of the things we told the Ministry is to be very careful in its communication. If anything, the idea of there being a COVID-19 variant in any part of this country came from a briefing by that Committee on COVID-19 Situation in Kenya by Dr. Amoth or one of those officials. Then a few days later, it turned out that ... view

• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, allow me to briefly comment on the work of this Committee that is ably chaired by Sen. Shiyonga, whom I am very proud of. I am pleased with how she has taken up the role of a Committee Chairperson ably. She is the first female Senator to chair a Committee in this House.

Sen Shiyonga is a Member of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare which I chair and from ... view

• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Parliament that is charged with the equalization of opportunities shall bring a report to the House detailing how counties, the National Government and other agencies have been implementing the 30 per cent directive for youth, women and persons with disabilities. The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) is supposed to be providing the Joint Committee with a list of how counties and other Government agencies are giving opportunities to the youth, women and persons with disabilities as well as a report detailing the organizations that are not implementing the 30 per cent allocation of tenders to the special interest groups.

• 25 May 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I hate to interrupt Sen. M. Kajwang’ but I am sure that he followed the proceedings on the debate on this Address last week and the week before. A trend was set that everyone who contributed to this Motion in honour of the President of Tanzania, Her Excellency Samia Suluhu Hassan, did so in Kiswahili. I personally made my contribution in Kiswahili for 20 minutes. I know that it is risky and hazardous for somebody from Homa Bay County to speak in Kiswahili for more than five minutes but I urge Sen. ... view
