• 9 Apr 2025 in Senate: 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
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. May I start, Mr. Speaker--- view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to start by congratulating the CS. He is new in the Cabinet and I have seen him here for the first time. I worked very well with him when we were both Ministers and he did a very good job. I do not doubt that he will do the same in this Ministry. I want to thank him for giving us the historical events that took place in KCC. I am a beneficiary because my father was a dairy farmer and that is how I went through my education. He has addressed the ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: hope that his shares in KCC shall be paid to us, his children, one day. However, we have not had anything of that sort. Did the Government consider the shares that were owned by the farmers because the assets belonged to the farmers? They did not belong to nobody. They belonged to farmers. Among them, is a huge population both in Elgeyo-Marakwet, where I was born and Uasin Gishu, where I reside. What consideration was given to the farmers? view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. First, I would like to congratulate Sen. Crystal for the passion with which she drives the agenda of PWDs in this House. Thank you, Sen. Crystal. You motivate all of us to want to be part of what you are doing. I also thank Members of the committee for the good work that they did. I also thank Members of the National Assembly for the additional amendments. I will refer to two of them because Sen. Sifuna has combed through most of them, touching on what I wanted to ... view
• 2 Apr 2025 in Senate: The other one which captured my attention is Clause 66A. Misuse and abuse of PWDs, not only in this country, but world over, cannot be described. At one point, we were told that many PWDs in Nairobi are from Tanzania. Somebody decided that the best thing to do is to bring faces that are not recognizable. So, they went and collected people from Arusha and Dar es Salaam and brought them to this city. It is sad that they use them to collect a lot of money. I am happy with this addition from the National Assembly because this is ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to support this Bill by Sen. Joyce Korir. May I begin by congratulating Sen. Joyce Korir for a well-articulated Bill whose time has come. This Bill is very important because our children have lost their reading culture to the extent that students go to university, but their language is completely discouraging. They do not seem to have the proper grammar that is required of them and the proper way of expressing things. A library will give them an opportunity to read books, which have been well articulated. That will ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: reading a storybook the way we read from books because of the distractions that come with using telephones like social media and all sorts of things that interrupt. Therefore, having a library is something very important. As I support this Bill, I want to make a few comments and additions that I wish the Senator can add as we congratulate her. One is that one of the objects of this Bill is to establish libraries in each county. There is a need to encourage libraries to be situated in every ward. I want to persuade her to re-word there so ... view
• 12 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to refer Sen. Kinyua to Clause 3(d) which seeks to ensure preservation of cultural heritage of the counties for future generations. Yesterday we debated about having our museums at that level at the same time. Museums will gather information that already exists. Therefore, it is important to have the interlock. I liked the way Sen. Korir brought in the same issue of preservation of culture, not only in terms of preservation of what is there. That is why I proposed that we should move from the aspect of “preserve” to “develop” because a library ... view
