• 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.

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.

• 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?

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
