• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me, on behalf of the people of Nairobi City County and on my own behalf, to welcome the Senator for Migori County, Hon. Ochillo Ayacko. I just wish to let him know that having known him for a while, his mien, disposition and demeanor sits very well with the Senate; a House that has distinguished itself as a place of sober debate and interventions on issues affecting the people. Even his style looks like the Senate. On top of that, he was escorted by Members of both the Jubilee party and the Orange Democratic Movement ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: I welcome him to this House. We hope to engage deep on the issues affecting the people. Currently, his county is in a peculiar circumstance. There are a lot of challenges facing counties like Nairobi and many others. I am sure we will work hand in hand and this House will benefit from his wealth of experience and the new kind of camaraderie amongst Members because of the Building Bridges Initiative and the “handshake” where we look at each other beyond just political parties, tribes and colour, but as Kenyans and leaders who are here to make lives of other ... view

• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the petitioners for coming to this House on this matter. We need to strike a balance in this country. This is the same issue from Marmanet Forest, Mau Forest et cetera. We understand the need to conserve the environment which must be done at all cost. However, this notion of indentifying projects and programmes before people is a wrong way to go about things. People must be treated with dignity and respect. As much as they must be settled out of the forest, the same way as the Mau Forest, let it ... view

• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, I am grateful and excited to work on this. I note that this is in recognition of how hard I work in my Committee. However, this seems like a land issue. Therefore, I urge that it be directed to the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, although we can also help them with zeal, vigor and moral support as they deal with this. view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am the Chairperson for the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I had expressed myself on this. We think it will fit very well in the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. We can be 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: available when called upon, to lend technical expertise on human rights as well as welfare issues. However, as with any other petition that comes to this House, there will never be one issue that fits squarely within the mandate of only one Committee. So, we should lean on where the bulk of the matter is. I have just consulted with the Senator for Laikipia County and he says that his main issues are settlement and land. We will be available at any time to support, as the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, but kindly allow the Committee on Lands, ... view
• 16 Oct 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an opportunity to hit two birds with one stone. I am grateful that Sen. Mwaura has brought this. As the Senate Minority Leader has said, our Constitution is clear that our currency should not bear the likeness of any individual and it should not have any symbol. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) is in the process of formulating the new notes. We can have some distinguishing features as long as the Committee on Finance and Budget determines the cost. We know that there are many governors, national Government officials and many thieves who ... view
