• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Let me thank my good friend, Sen. Haji, for that wonderful information that has enriched my thinking. Maybe to respond directly to his new information, we must introduce a new clause to uproot all the Mathenge plant s, which is not of any use in this country, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas and plant new trees. Arid and semi-arid areas are indeed left and ignored. There is a very easy way of planting trees. There is a gentleman from Naivasha who I also worked with when I was planting trees in the Mau Forest. He has a company called ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: I think that is what we should now require county governments to make sure that as part of the money that we send to them, they set aside an amount of money that must be dedicated to climate change. Madam Temporary Speaker, we care about the future generation. If we do not do so when we exit this life, we will not eternally rest peacefully. This is because when we had an opportunity to make this world a better place, we destroyed it. I entirely support this. I want to beseech my brother that we should not say that we ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: In fact, this Adani deal that everybody keeps talking about here will provide Wajir, Marsabit and Mandera counties with electricity, I will be the first one to support it. Let us build the grid, let us take it there and improve security. Let us run this country as one country. Madam Temporary Speaker, when you tell me you are supporting Adani deal to enhance Molo line or Suswa line, I will say no because we already have electricity around those areas. We cannot concentrate everything in one place. Madam Temporary Speaker, let us promote our environment by planting more trees. ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to be informed. view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to appreciate the information from my brother. I want to further contribute and say that I have seen this because I have studied much on this issue of environment. For instance, Brazil has different environments. There is an institution that went to a very dry area and dug some holes all across and left. It rains in Wajir, Garissa and Mandera. Look at Mandera and this is something we do not recognise. When the distinguished Sen. Captain Ali Roba was the Governor of Mandera, he had an environmental exercise project where he, in ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me begin by appreciating the two gentlemen, starting with Sen. Thang’wa and my good friend from Kwale County, Sen. Chimera. I have been sitting in this House for quite some time and I know that Parliament pronounces itself through Motions and Bills. The effort sought by my two colleagues is something, which as we speak right now, unless several pieces of legislation are amended, will be an academic exercise. Bursaries are very important. However, it will be very difficult for Members of the National Assembly; Women Representatives, mandarins in the Ministry of Education and ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: government, the national Government and the county government. Which county government will allow the Ministry of Education, which we know very well, that it is a body which falls under the national Government, to audit bursaries that are being given by MPs, MCAs, or governors? It is important that sometimes when we come up with Motions, we become realistic. There is no county government entity, which will allow the Ministry of Education to audit bursaries unless that function has now been transferred to the national Government. It is important that when we are here we become realistic. Let us talk ... view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Yes, absolutely. view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish my dear brother would listen to me and listen keenly to my contribution. My contribution is geared towards making sure that he achieves what he wishes to achieve; and maybe by just amending. Article 189 of the Constitution of Kenya says: view
• 31 Oct 2024 in Senate: “Government at either level shall perform its function and exercise its powers in a manner that respects the functions and institutional integrity of governments at the other level and respects the constitutional status and institutions of government at the other level and in the case of county government, within the county levels.” view
