• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The role of this House starts from Article 93 of the Constitution. Many people do not recognise that the Senate is, indeed, a part of Parliament. Holding a session in Uasin Gishu will demystify the role of the Senate. I support this Motion because it is important for people in Kenya to realise how important this House is. This House is tasked with making laws which is something that many people do not recognize. This House is also tasked with protecting the interests of counties and their governments. Madam Temporary Speaker, the people of Uasin ... view
• 19 Jun 2018 in Senate: We will also take all the Maasais who are in Narok there. It will enable us to discuss and agree on where we will hold the Session next. Madam Temporary Speaker, understanding laws is very important. It is very sad that this House does not have original jurisdiction on legislation. Sometimes it takes the public to lobby the Members of the National Assembly to ensure that when legislations are passed here and taken to the National Assembly, it behoves them to move expeditiously to ensure that they pass those laws, so that they can become Acts of Parliament. Public participation ... view

• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important Petition that I support. Coming from Narok, I know that the defunct Narok County Council used to contribute 19 per cent of the revenue collected from the Maasai Mara Game Reserve to the communities surrounding the game park. Over time, those communities came together and formed their own private conservancies. We now have other community conservancies and I agree with Sen. Halake that they need to be given a lot of support. One of the roles of the conservancies is to support education. ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this particular issue of the water towers. During the debate on the Division of Revenue (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 14 of 2018), I raised my reservations.

Any time it rains, because of the destruction of the ... view
