• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, is it in order for Sen. Cherargei to try to insinuate that it is not important to consider the quality of the food that parliamentarians eat? Is he in order to cast aspersions on the wisdom of the Members of National Assembly, by demanding that the services that we pay and sign for all the time should not be quality? view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think this is an important point. I am saying so because I saw a headline in one of the newspapers that parliamentarians want to get five-star food. That was erroneous and that is why I did not want Sen. Cherargei to fit into that lie out there. It is important for the public, because they are watching, to know that all parliamentarians pay for the food they eat while in Parliament. We sign for that food which means we pay for it. When Members of Parliament (MPs) demand from members of the Catering Department that ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I completely contest that kind of approach because there is no correlation between our work as legislators and our rights as citizens of this Republic to get quality services. To try to insinuate that one would compete with the other or one would make one feel to do the other is completely out of order. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: They are not equal. They are parallel and unrelated. You cannot even compare a discussion on food and a discussion on quality legislation because there is no correlation. Secondly, we cannot also cast aspersions on what happens in the National Assembly because it is against our Standing Orders to question the wisdom of a debate that was taking place in another House. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Are you saying that yours truly should start doubting their Chair on matters of the House and not what he taught them in the university? view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Land Value Index Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.3 of 2018) be now read a Second Time. This is an extremely important Bill particularly at this time when we are discussing matters development in our country. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: The amendments to the Lands Act of 2012 have been necessitated by the desire to ensure that we regulate the sector in a manner that is responsive to the interests of land owners and the beneficiaries and also on the other hand take care of the interests of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Kenyans on matters development. The background to this Bill is the challenges we have as a country when it comes to dealing with mega projects in this country. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know very well, because you live along the power station of electricity from Loiyangalani to Nairobi, the negotiation problems that the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO) was struggling with when it acquired land just for purposes of electricity poles and electricity wires to pass. It is said that the cost that went into that was so high that it was almost half of the amount it required to construct the line itself. Considering that there was already a problem with that project with regard to dealing with loans that had been acquired and the ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is aware of what happened in the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). I think the SGR is the worst example in this country when it comes to matters land acquisition and compensation of people, who by virtue of knowing that the SGR would be constructed, rushed to purchase property along the line. They then started asking for ridiculous and exaggerated amounts of money, most times in collusion the National Land Commission (NLC) staff and persons working with the railway. It was eventually discovered and many people were suspended and charged in what is ... view
