• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you took one of my minutes. Issues of land are very emotive. I am worried that we might be trying to rush through this Bill and not give people enough time to really interrogate. I would recommend that the Mover of this Bill sits down maybe even in a Kamukunji, so that we can go through it clause by clause; just to ensure that we do not do something today which will cause more pain. There are so many Maasais out there who do not have title deeds to their land, because they are either in a ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: This Bill sort of considers them all of them as squatters and says that they will be considered as people who have lived in the area for an undisrupted period of 12 years. If that section is there, it has to be clear. Land in Narok County is more expensive than it used to be, but there are parts where the people who live there do not even understand or know the value of that land. There are parts of Narok and Kajiado counties where speculators buy land for Kshs40,000. I am not a violent person, but yesterday I nearly ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: For this Bill to support the communities and not create more poor people in this country, it is important that we--- view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, is there no more time for me, please? view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this Bill by Sen. Poghisio. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very timely Bill. I get excited when I see Bills which give work to the CECs in county governments. I also get excited when I see potential for revenue generating activities in county governments. Before I commented on this Bill, I had to go and talk to my dear friend, Sen. Poghisio, because I would wish to bring a few amendments to this Bill. This is because technology will help this Bill. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: campaign period cost Kshs130,000 a month. In fact during the first month, it costs about Kshs200,000; but in the subsequent months, the figure reduces to about Kshs130,000 because there are no costs of printing. However, out of that figure, how much did the County Government of Narok get? Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need to look at all the opportunities that are out there and ensure that we increase local revenue collection. Setting up clear areas and guidelines on how these advertisements should be brought in place will help us. With the current technology that we have in this world, Narok ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we look at the statistics out there, it shows that the advertisement sector in Kenya has been growing at the rate of about 8.5 per cent. In fact, by 2016 the entire advertising sector had raised about Kshs1 billion. It is now projected that on a yearly basis, it will keep increasing at a rate of 8 per cent. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is about Kshs12 billion. I got the information from the backdoor, but by 2017, Kenyans spent about Kshs217 million on advertisements. How much of that was spent through outdoor advertisement? It is projected that by 2021, annual advertisement revenue will go up to about Kshs3.2 billion a year. We need all counties and not only Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru or the major cities. This is because even in Turkana people drink beer. The East African Breweries Limited (EABL) will be competing maybe with Keroche Breweries or another company. People in Turkana also use mobile phones to communicate. We have ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, one of the things I like, and Sen. Poghisio has left out, is the provision for each county to come up with their own legislation on how to control the advertising. It will help us not to set very high standards that we cannot reach. We will be able to live within our means and also encourage more people to come. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: I am very passionate about this Bill because it will discourage the scenario where these big corporates, for example, decide one day to paint Narok with the colours of SportPesa and another day Safaricom. It is so ugly. I am not saying that those companies‘ colours are bad, but we need law and order. view
