• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Bi. Spika wa Muda, nina kushuru kwa kunipa nafasi hii ili niwakaribishe wanafunzi na walimu wa shule ya Logorate kutoka Kaunti ya Samburu. Ningependa kuwahimiza watie bidii katika masomo yao kwa sababu sisi kama viongozi tulikuwa wanafunzi kama nyinyi. Seneta wenyu kutoka Samburu Kaunti ni shujaa. Yeye ni kiongozi ambaye anawatetea masilahi yenu hapa. Pia nyinyi lazima muweze kumfuatilia na kutazama yale ambayo anafanya. Ninajua kuna mambo mengi ambayo yanafanyika katika Samburu Kaunti. Kwa mfano, viongozi na watu wa Samburu Kaunti wanajishughulisha na town council kuwa municipality na kadhalika. Hilo ni jambo ambalo pia nyinyi mnatakiwa kuhusishwa nalo. Ningependa kuwakaribisha ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to welcome the students to the Senate. It is important to note that, currently we are experiencing a big problem in this country because of either fear of exams or fear of the unknown. I encourage the students that their last year in school should not be a year for them to try and destroy their future. It should be a year for them to prepare for what is unknown. That is the excitement of life. I encourage them that when they go back, I know that they have friends in other schools and ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to welcome my good friend, Mr. Daniel ole Ting’a, for the good work that he is doing in ensuring that these students have a bright future; setting up a call centre in Narok County which will employee over 200 youths. We are looking at the older people. We are looking at the youth. Therefore, the work that Google is doing is good in terms of ICT. We should encourage most of the youth to partake courses in ICT because they offer jobs which are not the usual traditional office jobs. You can sit ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I rise to support the Petition brought by the Senator for Nairobi County on behalf of the small traders. It begs a big question as to what the job of the County Government of Nairobi is, in terms of licensing small traders. If we are not careful, one day we will have a million ladies or young men from China and before we realize it, our entire population will be converted into Chinese. This is very serious! view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the challenges we are facing in this country are all about protecting the integrity and future of this nation, Kenya.

• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to comment on and support the Statement on the challenges faced as a result of the discovery and production of oil in Turkana County. The Statement has been brought to this House by the good Senator from Turkana County, Sen. (Prof.) Ekal, who I serve with in the Committee on Energy. The discovery of oil will either help or destroy the Turkana people. I am alive to the fact that Turkana and Nairobi counties receive the largest share of resources that are disbursed to the counties by the national ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my friend Sen. Sakaja is completely out of order to suggest that the Committee I sit in is slow. We are dealing with issues of local content. Sen. Mwaruma, whom I sit with in the same Committee raised issues which need to be considered. view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is out of order for him to purport that the Committee is slow. I would also like to support the point raised by Sen. Mwaruma on the issue of our Committee being part of that process. view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this extremely important Bill on public participation. My first question is whether the public is aware of the constitutionality of the term “public participation”. If I were to answer on behalf of the public that I represent here, it is yes. However, the process of engaging the public in decision making in this country is wanting. In most cases when an exercise of public participation is carried out, there is a huge disconnect between what is being shared to the public vis-à-vis what happens on the ... view
• 10 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am still a freshman and I am doing my best. However, in the interest of this matter, given that it is very important, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 55(3) to request that you defer putting of the question on the Bill to a later date because when I look around, I do not think we have enough delegations to take the vote. Thank you. view
