• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, there are issues that affect us the Maasai as an example. We know today, our brothers in Tanzania, who cross back and forth and are able to bring in their cows to Narok and Kajiado are now suffering because of the actions being taken by their government, where we have over 80,000 Maasai who are facing eviction from their homes because of the interest of protecting wild animals. view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: I do hope that because of the interest of the East African Community, our brothers in the Tanzanian government can save these Maasai from being forcefully evicted from their areas because once they are evicted, they cross into Narok and Kajiado, then of course stress our economy. We have brothers and sisters in Tanzania. view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: So, I want to take this advantage and call upon even the President of Tanzania to save our people from being forcefully moved out of their land in Ngorongoro in Loliondo view
• 22 Mar 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
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: District. Whenever you see about 80,000 people praying to God because they are facing eviction from their land, you should not only think about what is happening to them then but also think about the consequences. They will cross into Narok and Kajiado. Although we welcome them but it will be stressing to our limited resources. view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, in conclusion, I fully support the Division of Revenue Bill and I do hope that this issue of the Medical Equipment Scheme (MES) can become a thing of the past. We need to agree whether we are going to continue leasing this equipment or we are going to buy them because this issue of leasing these equipment is really a scandal. We know we debated that issue in this Parliament, but the truth of the matter is, if you go to West Pokot and Narok County today, you will find equipment from MES that are lying in ... view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: I think it is about time for all of us to remember that we will be judged harshly by history if we continue allowing scandals. We know they are scandals, but because of political interest we end up keeping quiet. It is about time that we say no to impunity. If health is devolved, let us support more monies to go to counties. view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: I know when Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) finally comes back, the former prime minister and our party leader and hopefully our fifth president, will send about a minimum of 35 per cent or the revenue to go back to the counties. At that point we will not need to be leasing. I would rather each county leases and controls, so that they can lease what they require. However, this issue of the Ministry of Health leasing all the equipment in a central location really disfranchises many other counties. view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a very important Bill. The only way we can ensure that everything, which is here is implemented, is for the county assemblies to also read this Bill because they are supposed to ensure that they carry out their functions with the money that is sent to them. view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: There is no reason as to why we should have pending bills. Those pending bills come in as a result of lack of fiduciary responsibility in the hands of the accounting officers. They need to be accountable. They need to know that, we in the Senate, are pushing money to them and are fighting heavy battles to be able to send that money to them. view
