• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, it is unfortunate that the Senator wants the Statement and he is not here. However, what is important is for the record and for the Committee. If you remember, this question came during what is now called the first wave. In that first wave, I do not think the question was exhausted in as far as expenditure on this other pandemic, locust invasion, is concerned.

• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: We put the Chairperson of the Committee in a lot of pressure for him to come back with an answer on this issue. It is not exhausted. I hope that when the Committee retires to come with a report, that report should come together with what was being put in place and focus more on long term strategies that government is putting in place, particularly in funding departments that deal with locusts and other invasion of crops in our country. Maybe to note, since the situation of COVID-19 came to the country, I have not heard any discussion about locusts. ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I congratulate Sen. Omanga for being alive to the issues that concern the youth because she is a youth herself in her own rights, even though she was nominated in the women’s category. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: I wonder why people are laughing. Sen. Omanga is a youth. Why is it impossible for the Directorate of Criminate Investigations (DCI) to digitize the issuance of the certificate of good conduct? If the DCI takes my fingerprints the first time and keeps them in their database, the only thing they need to do is check whether in the middle of that year, I had any changes in so far as my criminal record is concerned, then issue the certificate of good conduct online. This is so that any of us can pay a particular fee if it is required. ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank Sen. Cherargei for that very important Statement. I also thank God that he got well and wish him full recovery from that horrible accident. As he has acknowledged, both sides of the House wished him well and prayed for him. The issue of the bypass in Kapseret area was already brought to this House. I thank the Chairperson of the Committee, Sen. Wamatangi, for even visiting the place, but the issues are still pending. At that time, it was issues of compensation. More importantly is the highway between Kapsabet-Eldoret-Iten. That highway has been mooted for ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Yes, I would like to be informed. view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Thank you for that correction. Madam Deputy Speaker, I knew Mr. Kinoti as DG for Kenya Urban Roads Authority for a very long period of time and was mistaken that he was moved to KeNHA. However, be it as it may, it is very important for me to say that the DG there, if it is still Eng. Mundinia, should take that responsibility seriously. We have the Eldoret International Airport, and there are roads The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: going to Kitale, Malaba, Kisumu, Iten, Kabarnet and through Chepkorio to Eldama Ravine then to Kabarak and Nakuru. So, for that town to be decongested, it is necessary that we have at least a dual road from Kapsabet to Eldoret. It is not very far; it is just around 60 kilometres, but makes a big difference. I disagree with Sen. Cherargei that it should be that region versus another region. I want to thank the DG and the Ministry for doing what they did in all other regions in the country. Even the highway from here to Murang’a to Nanyuki ... view
• 23 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, you know that on the Majority side, we are 34 Jubilee Senators and 17 are from my caucus. So, you can understand what Sen. Cherargei was saying. The leader of the majority, not necessarily the Standing Orders Senate Majority Leader, and you know that there is a paradox in this House; the majority is not necessarily the majority leader. I want to say that that project is extremely important for us, that is, the dualling of Kapsabet to Iten Road. I will request that when the Committee retreats to find that issue and discussing the bypass in ... view
