• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I would like to thank Sen. Dullo for moving this Bill in my absence. I also want to state that this Bill did not come from the Executive. It was the work of Sen. Sang, a former Senator, who is now the Governor of Nandi County. He brought it as a Private Member’s Bill. He did a fantastic job in drafting this Bill. It was part of the rubric of the legislation that was sent to the National Assembly but collapsed. It was not passed by the National Assembly until the previous Parliament was ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: One thing that is never said is that the USA recognises citizens who have made contributions to the nation. Dolly Parton was not there as a musician but as a promoter of literacy among young people across the USA through a foundation she established that ensures children get the opportunity to read. In fact, what we should think about as a country is how to promote literacy. With the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), we can promote literacy beyond the desire to do examinations. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you remember, since you were there, the Governor of Tennessee gave way to ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my county is currently carrying out public participation on the establishment of Iten Municipality, Municipal Board and so forth. Had we not passed the law to ensure that these institutions are in place that would not been done. It is important for us to plant this seed in our counties. Secondly, the County Hall of Fame is also important not just in recognizing people, but in protecting and promoting our history. We have a problem in our country, where we have a young population. If you tell them that the elections in 1992 were competitive; there ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: you are in Bungoma County, it is easier to preserve the history of the Bukusu by the Bukusu people in their locality. It will become easy for a Marakwet to travel to Bungoma to read the history of the Bukusu people, because there will be a Bukusu or Bungoma Hall of Fame that captures the history of the people of that place. The same will apply to Elgeyo-Marakwet. If you want to know who the endos, Kapchamutwas, Sengwer, Sambirir, Chepkoria and so forth are, you will get that information from the county hall of fame. History will be preserved by ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: should be added in this important selection panel is, perhaps, a representation of the Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs). The process of identifying those who are recognized in this County Hall of Fame selection membership is also transparent. There is an advertisement, opportunity for people to apply and public participation, so that it is not left to the decision of few people. Sen. Orengo raised a very important issue in contribution to this Bill; that unfortunately, even though we are fierce defenders and promoters of devolution, we know that many governors--- I keep watching Gov. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o, Gov. Sang ... view

• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know why I am saying this because we were here when some of our brothers left to be governors. They promised to be different, nice and when they are called to come to Senate they will do so running. They said when there are issues that must be dealt with between Senate and counties, they would respect the position of the Senate and Senators. Six of them were elected governors Therefore, we must audit whether we have achieved what they promised here. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the six retain their seats and we have ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: due process. People will be asking why others have not been appointed. We must follow due process so that there is an opportunity for citizens to object to an individual being appointed to this Hall of Fame if they feel that that person does not deserve. If the objections are not going to be taken on record, they have recourse to the judicial processes. It is possible that the judiciary will scrutinise. Sometimes if somebody knows that he was appointed for political expediency and now his character will be challenged in a court of law, he may say “I do ... view
