• 8 Mar 2022 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
• 8 Mar 2022 in Senate: that is run properly, either from a registered group and not an individual or by Nairobi City County itself. This is where we have inefficiency leading to a lot of congestion in the Central Business District (CBD). view
• 8 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, until further information is availed, I would be interested in sitting in on this. That entire system is what needs auditing. If there is no policy around how these slots are allocated, Nairobi City County decide that it is up to them to choose who to give. They can give a PwD or not. When you have a system, whose decisions are based on subjective reasoning by whoever is making those decisions, there can never be fairness. For instance, the same way Mr. Mwangi was given that slot, would be the same way it will be taken ... view
• 8 Mar 2022 in Senate: The problem in our city and that is why we keep saying that we need to make Nairobi City work, is subjectivity. There is no order. This is what we must sort out. Two wrongs do not make a right. This one individual - and I am sorry about what he went through - had the ability to find somebody to Petition the Senate to get it back. However, somebody else who might have had it before, had no recourse. view
• 8 Mar 2022 in Senate: It is a flawed system that in its entirety, but is not how Nairobi City County should be working. As the Committee looks into the specific case of Mr. Mwangi - whom I empathise with - he is a victim of a flawed system. There are many others who would be in the same position because of lack of a proper policy position and plan on how these spaces are allocated. view
• 8 Mar 2022 in Senate: Today, if you go around the City asking SACCOs how they got their parking slots or the young people running toilets how they got that opportunity, they will tell you it is a mess. Recently, there was an issue in City Park Market about the people who work there in stalls versus a youth group. The Senate should not sanitise the mess. We should not do a cosmetic enquiry into this. This give us an opportunity to address Mr. Mwangi’s issue and also address the larger issue of order in the city. I am glad today we have spoken a ... view
• 8 Mar 2022 in Senate: I hope the Committee on Roads and Transportation will take this matter seriously. The reason why we have a big problem in the city in terms of congestion is not just because matatus come in, buy there is no proper mass transit system. It is also because of these parking slots. Matatus are not supposed to park. They are supposed to pick and drop. I took to court the former Governor of Nairobi City County, Sonko, on this issue and we won. It was not for a specific SACCO, but at that time, he had banned all matatus from coming ... view

• 8 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it must be looked at in a more holistic nature of bringing order back to Nairobi City County. view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Cherargei for raising this Statement. He has raised it in a way that we should as leaders. Sen. Cherargei has not joined the band who would just whine, rant and complain. Kenyans have been crying about prices of basic commodities. We have seen the online hashtag #lowerfoodprices . We have also seen certain leaders join in making the noise, yet Kenyans elect us to these offices to find solutions. Leadership is about finding solutions. If we complain the same way the people out there – for instance, in my county – are complaining, then ... view
