• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 47(1) to make a statement on the status of the new Dandora Stadium in Nairobi City County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Dandora Stadium has for many years been a community stadium where young people in Nairobi have engaged and many who have had sterling careers in soccer and other sporting activities have considered it home. The new Dandora stadium in Embakasi North Constituency was commissioned in 2018 by the County Government of Nairobi and it was to be completed in 24 months. However, up-to date, the stadium is yet to be ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the people of Dandora cannot wait any much longer for the opening of the stadium. I cannot request this statement to be given to my committee because I Chair the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. It is for that reason that I have taken time to inform the House on the action that my Committee will take. The Nairobi County Government and the NMS has had enough time and there is no more time for them. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you. view

• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.48 (1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources on the status of the boreholes installed by the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) across Nairobi City County. There have been concerns by residents of Nairobi City County, especially in the informal sector, that majority of the boreholes sunk and launched with a lot of pomp and pageantry in the last 24 months, are no longer functional. Therefore, they are not serving the intended purpose of alleviating water shortage in the informal settlements. In ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I had begun moving this Bill. However, allow me to also congratulate you for assuming the Chair. I think it is a coincidence that you have gone to the Chair for the first time when I am speaking. When Sen. (Dr.) Mwaura joined the Panel and first sat on the Chair, I was on the Floor. So, there is a probably a blessing that comes when I am on the Floor. You should invite me more often when I make a request. Congratulations! I know you are up to the task and I know ... view

• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: I am glad in some of these incidences, well-wishers assisted a lot. When there was the last one in Kamkunji, I really pushed the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Dr. Matiang’i, and his Principal Secretary (PS), Hon. Kibicho who gave us resources which we distributed to the victims. In Gikomba as well, I was not able to go, but I quickly called Hon. Yusuf who gave us some resources. However, it cannot be about who you can call and what you can in the case of fire or any other disaster. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this Bill seeks to create a legal framework that will address such disasters from the early warning signals to the disaster mitigation and to making sure that we train people. How would these young people know what to do in case of fire in their school? What will my people in Kibagare do? A few weeks ago, I had also another fire there. Fortunately, a young man, a very good coordinator of mine called Sean called me. I was able to get through to the county government. In less than 15 minutes, the fire engines were ... view

• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: We do not want to create many more, but we are bringing them together with the resources they have under single command at the national level. At the county level, there shall also be the County Disaster Risk Management Committees (CDMCs) which bring as well the county and national government. I can imagine if that happens. I have seen it happens my county. The county government is doing one thing and the county commissioner or regional commissioner for the case of Nairobi City County is doing the complete opposite thing. We end up losing a lot of precious time to ... view
