• 24 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek your direction on this matter because although the Chair of the Joint Committee has not mentioned it, the matter of Mwea Trust Land is actively in court and it is coming for hearing on 6th December, 2016. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request that you give guidance as to whether we should continue investigating a matter which is before court. view
• 24 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I thank you for not giving a direct ruling, nonetheless, I would like it to be on record that we all know what has been the precedence on a matter which is in court. I was bringing this to your attention because we are going to use resources of this country to deliberate on a matter that we may be competing with what the court may be doing. I still request that you give advice on what happens when a matter is coming for hearing a week from now and our Chair has given a declaration ... view

• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We shall look into the Statement and bring an answer next week on Thursday. One week is enough. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the little light I want to shed is not about the land, but two counties. Kirinyaga County wants to take a part of Embu County. It is a matter which I do not think the two Committees will come up with an answer to it. This is because if, at the end of the day, Kirinyaga County is given part of Embu County or even the whole of Embu County, the people who live there will still own land. Having said that, I know that there is a matter that was brought by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. ... view

(4) Whether an environmental impact assessment was undertaken before commencement of the project and ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have only one page remaining. I have already read five pages. 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
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, starting with Sen. Njoroge’s request, I have no quarrel with that because I know mega dams is a programme which is enshrined in the Vision 2030. I can even state that my Embu County will benefit from such dams. These projects are intended to limit the amount of water that goes to the Indian Ocean as waste. The Government intends to harness and collect all the rain water from all the mountains and valleys to the main dams. Mr. Speaker, Sir, recently, we passed the Water Bill which has a whole section on how to deal with ... view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the two Senators who just rose on a point of order failed to realise that I said the documentation is available. It can be given, but it may not add value. I did not say it is useless. view
• 10 Nov 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I took note that the documents being sought are the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), the report from the County Government of Murang’a and the public participation. These are the documents that have been sought by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I will get them from the same source that I got all the compiled information. view
