• 14 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to raise the issue of the passage that the Committee should also look at. The way the SGR was constructed in Makueni was that, after every 800 metres, there is a passage for the animals. That standard should also be maintained. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for making that communication. I want to inform my dear brother and friend whom I respect a lot that it is not true that I came to this House through the NASA Coalition. I came to this House through my name and picture being on the ballot papers on an ODM ticket. As I stand here, I represent the ODM Party. Leadership is not given but you have to fight for it. As Members of the ODM, we have been asking questions. I know most of us will not talk here but it is always ... view
• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the people of Narok County, I would like to say welcome to the visiting delegation and request that they visit our county. I appreciate the work that they do in ensuring that African countries promote good governance. I know it is a big task, but I assure them that when our Members come there, they will help them achieve their objectives. As my colleague from Kitui County has said, Kenya is a beautiful country and where I come from, we have the eighth wonder of the world, the Maasai Mara ... view

• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I recall that the letter that the Chairperson is reading is the same letter that he read during the last Session. The issue of Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) land is something which is very emotive. People and animals have been killed there, so when I ask this question for me to understand how to deal with it, the least I expected the Chairperson to do is to go to greater length and see the urgency and emotiveness of this matter. It is imperative for the Chairperson to give my question, which is now part of this House, ... view
• 13 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to make my contribution to this very important Bill. I want to congratulate Sen. Wamatangi for bringing it albeit a little bit late. The process of taking over from your predecessor sometimes can be very challenging. I have witnessed in various counties where you The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also take this opportunity to welcome the youth from Migori County, which is my neighbour. I encourage them to look at these leaders here and identify a mentor. One of the big mistakes that we make nowadays is that as leaders, we think we will die with our knowledge. We need to encourage the youth and mentor them so that they can be the future leaders. If we do that, we will avoid the problems that we have today. So, I encourage them that when they go back home, they need to look for people to ... view
• 8 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to add – since I am a member of that Committee – that from the Statement and the answer we have received, that the gas which was discovered is non-toxic. There is a lot of concentration of methane gas which, in most cases, is extremely flammable. Maybe this gas occurs as a result of a lot of livestock activities and we recognise the fact that there are a lot of cows in the area. Therefore, this could be as a result of the activities of the cows. We interrogated the response and ... view
