• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Sometimes I am ashamed because if you go to Kajiado, Narok, and maybe Taita Taveta and Samburu, you will find people who come from abroad from the United Kingdom (UK), the Netherlands, the United States of America (USA), forming some sort of compensation committees where they raise money from their countries, so that when a human being is attacked by a lion, instead of the Maasai going to kill the lion, you are told that you will be given Kshs5 million. What is Kshs5 million? I have also seen the figure of Kshs5 million here. It is proposed that if ... view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, that time there will be over 5,000 people coming. The 20 per cent of them will be saying no because they have a vested interest. However, the 80 per cent will say we also will not get this. This is because what will happen is that now more local people will get employed. If you go to Kajiado County and Tsavo National Park around that Taita Taveta, the people will tell you hii ni kitu ya serikali,hatuna haja nayo . This is because even the people who work there are not residents from that area. They are ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, one thing which is even upsetting is that even though that is an asset for the national Government, it is only a few cabals that benefit from the proceeds and money which is generated from those national parks. It is not everyone. I will dare Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to publish their audited financial statements. Let them tell us how much they generated last year from the revenue of people who visited those parks. We want them to tell us how much of that money went back into the community. We want them to tell us what ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: As I wind up because I see my time is up, these attacks on human beings, livestock, and crop raiding and property damage, I would beseech my colleague to put a figure on each one of them. If your property is damaged, where are you going to sleep? Do you want to wait for 12 years while sleeping outside? If your crops are damaged and you expect to feed on them, will you continue to languish in poverty yet you did everything humanly possible to elevate yourself from that impoverishment? view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I fully support this amendment. I do hope that during the Committee stage, Sen. Mwaruma will be welcoming for us to bring in amendments to test the waters. It is about time that we limit the role of the Cabinet Secretary (CS) Hon. Balala to being just another CS without a portfolio. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the County Allocation of Revenue Bill (Senate Bills No. 30 of 2021). Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me begin by thanking the Committee for carrying out a very good job in ensuring that our counties receive money. One of the things that really impresses me this year and that I am very grateful for is that the County Allocation of Revenue Bill does not include conditional grants. Conditional grants, as you will see in the submission by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), was being used to make counties appear ... view

• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: understand where National Treasury is going to get all this money and ensure that it is released on time without money being collected by the Kenya Revenue Authority. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the biggest challenges that I have always had - and I have always concurred with the National Treasury on this matter - is on the issue of pending bills. There is absolutely no reason as to why counties should have pending bills. However, when you look at the submission by the CRA, they indicate that counties have a lot of pending bills. Therefore, if you have ... view
