• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with your kind permission, I had a pending matter, and I do not know whether I can address the House before clearing the matter. I had a pending matter yesterday regarding a Statement raised by Sen. Cherarkey and it would not be proper for me, being an experienced Member of this House, to address the House before that matter is cleared. There was an issue yesterday in relation to the Cabinet Secretary of Agriculture and Livestock Development and the fake fertilizers. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was unable to meet the Principal Secretary (PS) and Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture this morning. I made an effort and the answer I got from a telephone call that I made to the CS was that he would call later. I did not collect the actual information, but as the Senator for Makueni, the information I have is that those who received the fake fertilizer in Makueni County have never been compensated. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: I am aware of that fact, but I still stick to my position. They may have compensated other counties, but the people of Makueni county--- view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: I am seeking the Speaker's leniency to be given more time, so that I can access the PS and the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture in order to obtain valid information. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Yes, for one more day. I thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on this matter of appearances by Cabinet Secretaries, it is true that some of these questions are very old and matters are pending in courts. It is also true that other Cabinet Secretaries have been invited, but they have not explained why they are not here. There must be a way of making sure that this House is respected and that questions are answered. I am one of the Members who had questions for Hon. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki who is my friend. I asked a question about six months ago in relation with the killings of ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this important Report. Although Makueni County is not named here, and this was 2019 to 2020, I am sure the next report will include Makueni County. Makueni, Kitui and Machakos counties are served by River Athi, among other rivers. However, River Athi goes through Nairobi City County. One of the worst things which has happened to this river is that raw sewage, especially by ‘honeysuckers,’ is released fresh to this river. There has been an effort to clean up River Athi in Nairobi. I have seen ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: as he leaves, the people who are supposed to clean the river also leave with him. Therefore, it becomes like a Public Relations (PR) exercise, and the water downstream continues to be dirty. In the last two weeks, the sewerage systems in Nairobi City County, have been really raw sewage water to River Athi, and it is green through Machakos, Kitui, and Makueni Counties. Unfortunately, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, many Kenyans use this water. It is used by many water companies in Makueni County. Therefore, we must come up with a system to make sure that there is clean and ... view
• 23 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this matter of water must be taken very seriously by this House and the Government. We must have a proper law. We must actuate the delivery of water services to the people. We must make sure that the pending projects are completed. I am wondering why the National Treasury is frustrating the Ministry of Water so much. Why is the National Treasury frustrating the counties so much? Why does the money going to the counties not be given priority, so that governors can prioritize water? The Nolturesh Water and Sanitation Company, which the Senator for Narok ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This question would have gone to Governor James Orengo. However, since he said that his client, the National Assembly had given him instructions, I would like them to tell me the relevance of the verse they read yesterday. Also, on the Floor of the National Assembly, they read a verse that says: “When bad leaders rule, badness increases in a country and when good leaders rule, goodness increases in a country.” Finally, what is the maximum number of companies that an individual can participate in under the law? view
