• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: The pricing model that KQ uses for its tickets is a growing concern. There is no way, even if left to run on its own, it can survive. This matter must be taken seriously by this House. The Standing Committees on Roads and Transportation together with the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare should sit jointly look into the matters affecting KQ. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the matter of KQ Financing, the Government has bailed them out so many times. If what I read in the newspapers recently is true, KQ started by making losses running to approximately over Kshs20 ... view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the SRC has not been doing justice to the salaries of the public servants and State officers. If you look at the salaries of the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs), who are the first line of response to public issues in this country, you will realise that it is too low. That makes it difficult for them to effectively execute their constitutional mandate. I have served as a Governor and I have first-hand experience of high poverty levels in this country. An MCA handles not less than ten harambees on a single weekend. People should ... view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: performed well, but is missing school fees of Kshs5,000 or Kshs10000. He cannot tell those people that harambees are not functions of the elected leaders. SRC should review the salaries of the MCAs and increase it to a minimum of about Kshs400,000. The reduction of salaries of state officers by SRC while increasing their salaries is in itself discriminatory. SRC seems to have an attitude towards state officers, particularly politicians, in this country. SRC should know that we perform a constitutional duty. It was not--- view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am saying all these because those commissioners and staff members do not actually review the salaries. They always outsource the services of consultants. All the money that is in SRC’s budget for salary review is used to pay consultants to do the work that they are supposed to do. I support the Statement and where possible, that Commission should be brought into review. There has been a lot of mess in the public service courtesy of SRC. There is serious need to rethink the role of SRC in this country. I thank you, ... view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support the Statement by the Chairperson of the Committee on Energy It is sad that we can have IPPs contracts in this country that are so punitive to the nation consuming thermal power. As you are aware, the issue of climate change and the need for clean renewable energy in the globe is not only a concern of the human race, but also a cheaper way of generating energy. I would ask the Committee on Energy to also look into the various tariffs and regulations that have made it difficult for renewable energy, ... view

• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: As you are aware, that is part of the projects that caused electricity bills to be increased arbitrarily by the KP to cover for the loss that they created through Lake Turkana Wind Power. There is need for KP to optimise on the transformers that are already there in various parts of this country. You will find one transformer serving two families, yet it has the capacity to serve more than two hundred households. Kenya Power should concentrate in optimising the already existing transformers as they look into the faulty transformers. view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: They should also consider the companies that collapsed because of the so-called wrong tenders. Majority of those companies were owned by youths, women and a majority were--- view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to contribute to this debate. Training is important, especially for those of us who are first-time Senators in the House, because learning is a continuous process. As the Senate Minority Leader has stated, there is necessity to continue learning the rules of this House and gaining knowledge for us to represent our counties effectively. view
