• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: People should stop thinking as regional economical blocks as geographically compact blocks that these counties must join each other. They must see regional blocs based on economic aspects that teaming up with this county will help us. A lot of the produce that comes to the markets in Nairobi City County every morning from 4 a.m., comes from the central part of Kenya. Those counties in the central economic bloc should be interested in partnering with the Nairobi City County so that we can negotiate access to markets and cess. We can agree with many people in the private sector ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: under primary schools which are under National government. No one is looking at the school feeding programme. The national Government School Feeding Program is in the Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASALs). They think that those are the only areas where people are hungry. Early last year, I went to Dagoretti North to donate desks and I was heartbroken. When I asked those children; what would you like me to give you? Do you want balls or a school bus? I was just joking with them. They told me that they wanted lunch because they have no food. There is ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: part of participatory budget making. They can be involved at told that out of the whole county’s budget, they will be given Kshs20 to 30 million based on the resources. You can then ask them to sit down and agree on the projects that they want in Buru or Kayole? What resources can we get from there? How do we then plant trees? How do we involve those groups? Thank you, Sen. Nyamunga for taking note. I do not know if I will need to amend this toward area resident associations but a good leader does not need very prescriptive ... view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have a point of information. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as his “rubble”, I would like to inform him that the GDP of Nairobi City County is USD27 billion. That is from the latest statistics. If you convert it, it is way more than a Kshs1 trillion. The record should not show that Sen. Kajwang’ has a different figure that is way below. view
• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Bill. I will pick up from where Sen. Murkomen has started from. An election is an expression of the sovereignty of the people. The people of Kenya are the ones who ultimately determine who becomes their leader, especially in representative positions. We need to differentiate that. A representative position is like that of an MCA representing his people in a ward. The people in that ward in Suba or Mbita feel that Sen. M. Kajwang’ is the one to represent them. He is an expression of their aspirations, has ... view

• 16 Feb 2022 in Senate: I support this for the position of MPs and not for governor and President positions. Those are higher thresholds of decisions that are made individually but these others are collegiate institutions. That three per cent that Sen. Murkomen will sit in the County or National Assembly with other leaders and vote on issues collectively. They take collegiate responsibility of their decisions at that level. The value of that education then can be either compensated or assisted by those who they are with. However, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, express executive authority is different and it is really a Kenyan thing. To ... view
