• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me begin by appreciating the work of my colleagues in bringing to our attention very pertinent matters that require attention. I wish to quickly comment on several Statements and I will go straight to the point. The first Statement is a Personal Statement read by the distinguished Senator from Isiolo. We are here to become the ombudspersons of the citizens of Kenya. When a distinguished Senator who has been elected is threatened because of her work, it bothers me. view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate and definitely, I am aware of that, but there are things which are brought here and they concern us in terms of oversight. I would The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate. view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: like to beseech you to apply your discretion on Standing Order No.1 in allowing me to comment on issues that need our attention. The issue of the distinguished Sen. Dullo is something that this House must take notice of and really work on to bring sanity into that county because it is a crisis. Secondly, because of my time, I would like to comment on the Statement by the distinguished Senator for Migori on the issue of data protection. It is imperative that since we have the Data Protection Act, everything that we do, as a country, is guided by ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of my biggest problems is that every time you go in and change your SIM card, it is quite clear that Safaricom will tell you that we use your data or we receive your data when you are changing your SIM card or registering. However, one of my biggest pet peeves is when you go in and you are trying to send money, you have to give your Identification (ID) number, and your ID number is indicated there. We have to ask ourselves what is the neatest way of ensuring there is security when you ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When it comes to the issue of data protection laws, we may need to come up with different ways where these calls will allow, instead of you having to enter your ID and have your handheld device there, we can do a double-pronged approach or rather a two-way verification. This system, where you write your ID number in books, people will buy them, politicians will use them if they are seeking office independently and they are not sponsored by a political party or perhaps when you want to create fake IDs. This issue of ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amendments proposed by the distinguished Senator for Garissa. At this age--- view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am pleased to support and speak highly of these amendments being proposed by the distinguished Senator of Garissa. Tree planting should not be an exercise where people are forced to do it. Tree planting is something that all of us must make it a culture, that on a daily basis, when you have an opportunity to do so, you plant a tree. As I stand here, I pride myself as one of the few Kenyans who have planted millions of trees in a big forest in Narok County. A few years ago, I introduced aerial ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have seen some beautiful recommendations that have been made in this Amendment Bill. Some of them ought not to be a direction but they ought to be a call of duty to all Kenyans. I live in a beautiful place called Enkanasa Village Residence. It is a home that I rehabilitated. It was a desert and a murram pit where the contractors of the main road from Narok to Nairobi were harvesting murram to fix the main road to Nairobi. No one wanted that piece of land. When I bought it, an acre was a mere ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: When you get into my place, it is cold and beautiful. I am happy that my neighbours are slowly seeing the benefit of planting trees, and each one of them is doing so. I encourage all Kenyans to plant a tree a day. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to go straight and comment on the proposed amendments to several pieces of legislation. One is the Forest Conservation and Management Act, which the distinguished Senator wishes to amend and insert a new provision which says “promote afforestation and reforestation in arid and semi-arid areas of the country.” I would like to ... view
