Madam Temporary Speaker, I am from a different school of thought that believes that once the counties that we have are managed effectively, they will generate a lot of own source revenue. The only way to do that is if this House supports this Bill while taking into consideration that it not rivaling The Kenya Roads Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the history of this country, most of the legislations which have been brought into this House have been sponsored by the ... view

• 9 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I would like to thank all the Senators who have contributed immensely to this Motion, which is important. I am quite impressed with the issues raised by Sen. Sakaja. It reminds us that in this country we have got a lot of talent that is mostly untapped.

• 4 Oct 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion by Sen. Khaniri on the importance of recognising the work that is done by the KRCS.

Every year, mostly in the pastoralist areas, in the months of February and March, the entire country is littered with carcases of animals and people suffer. That is the time when everybody starts talking about needing help. We may want to look at that broadly and ask ourselves what it means for us to be ... view
