• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: One of the reason I support this Bill is because it will encourage creativity. We should recognise individuals who are doing well in businesses in their communities. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: When I was growing up, there used to be a Somali man who lived in our neighbourhood. He had the biggest wholesale shop and you could find anything in that shop. Anytime you wanted something, even if it was not available, he would find a way to make sure that he gets it. He was very creative and could get you something even if it did not meet your standards. Everyone knew and spoke about him. He was called Abdi Hashi. It is important that county government recognise such individuals. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: I love the aspect of having public participation. Sometimes when people participate, it helps do away with corruption that seems to be the only thing that thrives in this country where for you to be recognised, you must oil someone’s hands. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: It is quite frustrating to imagine having a Head of State Commendation (HSC) for someone eating their own food, yet there are people who spent their entire life trying to ensure that they create a good environment for everyone in this country. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: We have young girls in this country whose names I cannot remember. There is a young girl who has planted almost 10 million trees. That girl should be recognised. When we were planting trees in the Mau Forest, she told us that she was planting her 10th million tree. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: One of the agenda for the Annual Devolution Conference which will be held in Makueni is that the President will lead the nation in planting two million trees. That young girl should be invited so that the President recognizes her. I will find out her name because she deserves to be recognised and commended for the good job she is doing. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have young men in this country who dedicate their time in transporting pregnant women in areas where there are no ambulances. They modify their boda bodas to ensure they can carry pregnant women because we have failed in ensuring that we devolve all the services equally and provide ambulances. Those young people who continue doing their job on a daily basis are known by Kenyans. So, the aspect of public participation will help us. view
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Another area that I think we need to emphasize--- I do not know whether we have time to amend but I believe we do. I would like to request Sen. Murkomen to create a channel where people from different communities can propose people who should be commended. You do not need to be a hero for the entire county. You can be a hero in your village of Olombogishi, Ntulele or Kilgoris and the people in that community know what you do for them because you support them and they refer to you by some name. view
• 18 Nov 2021 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
• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: What this Bill proposes is that even if umetenda wema na kwenda zako, at least people will have seen that and recognise you for the good work you did. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a timely Bill. It is one that will help us unite the entire country. I hope we will have a ceremony for all counties for all the people considered as heroes on annual basis. Yesterday we were talking about amending the County Governments Act to ensure county governments submit their annual progress plans. In their annual progress plans, they should come up with a way ... view
