• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Sen. Sakaja. This is precisely the point I was trying to put across. We cannot be shifting blame. We can learn from the mess in the health sector. May be that is not a very good example. However, the national Government took over that role which is supposed to be implemented by the county governments. I thank Sen. Sakaja for informing this House. It is about time that we followed through so that we see an end to this problem. If that legislation can be implemented fully, then we cannot be passing the blame. I know Sen. Mwangi ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement. I am very careful in terms of the procedures that should be followed, because I keenly followed this issue. Recently, I remember that Kenya started its direct flights from Nairobi to the United States of America (USA). Therefore, this is a very sensitive matter.

He was actually seconded there by the Government of Italy. He is to come up with crops that are drought resistant. Considering the weather patterns in this country, it is something that we fully welcome. In my county we have a challenge of drought sometimes and a lot of our crops are damaged. It is a good thing to have companies working on that and countries that will be help this country achieve food ... view

• 14 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to make comments on this Statement. I hold a different opinion in terms of licensing of these drone operators. When the KCAA published regulations, some of the things that I remember that they highlighted were that for one to be allowed to fly drones, someone must have some knowledge of how to navigate aircraft.
