• 15 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
• 14 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me an opportunity to support this Petition. The issue of SGR has caused a lot of problems within the Maasai community, not only in Kajiado but also in Narok. I know that a lot of you saw that the Narok road split into two yesterday. This could have been an impact of the blasting that the SGR contractor is doing. However, on the Petition, I urge the Committee to come up with a standardised way of compensating land owners. This is because on this issue of compensation, it is very sad that when ... view
• 14 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my issue is this; land is valuable and the issue of land is emotive. When the people of Duka Moja realise that the people of Suswa who were one kilometre away from them are being paid Kshs200,000 more per acre than their piece of land, it will bring a lot of problems. So, it behooves the Committee to consider coming up with a process whereby the valuation of land is done and the community is given time to respond to it. The other issue is title deeds. The Maasai people live in most of the pieces of ... view
• 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

• 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, on a point of Order. I would like to request that the response be deferred so that I am served with a copy for me to interrogate it. 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.
