• 22 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is always very nostalgic to be back home. I consider the Senate my home even more than the Ministry where I am. This is where I established my career and was catapulted to national limelight because of the work we did here. I appreciate and respect this House so much. I wish to tell colleagues who are here, make the best use of this place while you are still here. Sometimes when you are out there, you wish you had this platform to make certain pronouncements that are important for posterity. I really ... view

• 22 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, this is part of the roads in the country that were constructed under low volume seal. You will agree with me that almost all counties, including your county, had at least a low volume seal road. The intention then by the Government in the first term of the Jubilee administration was to accelerate achieving the 10,000-kilometer road. It was important in the rural areas where there was no much traffic to build a road to be used locally by few cars because the statistics then showed that there were very few cars. view

• 22 Nov 2023 in Senate: Fortunately or unfortunately, every time you construct a road, it attracts higher traffic volume. The problem is that in your area there are also big lorries that are using the same route. It was never intended that lorries should use that route. As a result, we have decided that going forward, low volume seal roads are not going to be constructed in future. We will only use the existing standards that were there and that are being used by Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) and Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA), to construct all the other rural roads. However, that particular ... view

• 22 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the El Nino phenomena is a big problem now, and this is a whole topic on its own. The northern part of the country is severely affected. The North Eastern part of the country and the upper Eastern are the ones that have received the highest volume of rain, not just in the country, but also in the neighbouring countries, especially Ethiopia. That is why Marsabit County is affected in Logologo area and all those parts of Marsabit County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you might have seen, the rains in your county, Meru County, have ... view
