• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko was such a bright student in my class, to the extent that he would sometimes assist the lecturer in sharing very important information in class. As you can see, he does it so gently without announcing to the whole world that he went to Alliance Boys’ High School. I totally agree that this is an issue that should be done. As parliamentarians, we should have more interaction with JSC. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am concluding. view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. It is one way of praising Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko. The point I am making is that we should have greater interaction with the Judiciary when it comes to greater access to justice. If the building that was being used by the courts in Kericho County is the issue, resources should be availed to the Judiciary to quickly hire another space for the time being, as they deal with this issue, especially for the poor hustlers struggling to access justice in Kericho County. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version ... view
• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: I support this Statement. view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The point being raised by my learned senior Sen. Faki is a very weighty issue. In fact, it is just beyond the Committee looking at the Statement as it is. It is about this House providing legal solutions to the question of water management in the country. Remember that the structure of water management as a resource, harvesting and distribution of water resources, the law itself was passed way before devolution. After devolved governments came into place, the structure that was in place was maintained, which established companies that were dealing with water distribution on ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: At the moment, you know we have regional water bodies such as Lake Victoria North and South, Rift Valley, Central, Athi Water Services Board (AWSB) which I think is governing the whole of coastal region. It is still too huge considering the number of the counties. Coast region, for example, have been crying all the time for the establishment of Mzima Dam and Mzima Water Project that is meant to give water to the people of Mombasa County. The Senator of Nyeri County should develop a lot of interest in this issue because in his earlier life he was involved ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am willing to be informed. view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I know where that information was going because I know the politics of water. The politics of water across the country is that where the water is from, is usually left out and the lower water consumers get the benefit of water distribution. Taita Taveta County, just like Elgeyo Marakwet County which gives water to Uasin Gishu County and have genuine concerns that water distribution must be fair. That is where I was going. The water companies like the Eldoret Water and Sanitation Company (ELDOWAS) for Eldoret, for example, they are able to get water ... view
• 7 Jul 2021 in Senate: regional water bodies. Is it possible that we merge some of the bodies to become one with various departments dealing with management and the other one distribution? Madam Temporary Speaker, then we can take the cue from energy sector where you have Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) generating the electricity, then Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) and Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO) distributing. I think that is the structure we need to borrow. I really thank Sen. Faki for coming up with this issue because every time I think about the water complaints from my county and other parts ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there must be a problem with the cards because I had already pressed. Is it in order for a Deputy Whip of the majority side to come to the Floor of this House and criticize the party leader, who is the President, who held a big rally in Kisumu which has turned out to be a spreader of COVID-19 in the western part of the country and do it without blinking? As the Deputy Senate Majority Whip, what conversation has she view
