• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to thank the Senator for Nairobi County for bringing this matter. Last year, when the Maasai were discriminated against by the Chinese in Narok, they did something that I would consider as fighting for their rights and a few of them ended up in hospital. What Sen. Sakaja has done now, is actually warning us that if we do not take The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 11 Jul 2018 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. The Chinese do not care about the environment when they extract resources for the construction of the SGR. Right now, the children who live in an orphanage that is next to Siyiapei River are taken to hospital frequently because of respiratory diseases. Therefore, we have to be careful. In fact, the floods washed away all their equipment into the Ewaso Nyiro River. This is a matter that must be dealt with the urgency that it deserves, so as to ensure that our Kenyans have jobs. Earlier on, the Statement that was brought by the Senator ... view
• 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.

• 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: 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
