• 22 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, five minutes is a terribly short time but I thank you. view
• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. First, I congratulate Sen. Mungatana for this wonderful Motion on the effects of upstream activities on River Tana in particular on the residents of Tana Delta. I rise to support the Motion. I would like to agree with the Senator that clean water in the right quantities is a right of every Kenyan according to Article 43(1)(d) of the Constitution of Kenya. Water flows from upstream to downstream. Naturally, the river must serve both groups; the source point communities and the receiver communities. This Motion is exposing a number ... view

• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: If that is done, the Ministry will have excess water that can be used for irrigation, whether downstream or upstream. So, it is important to do an assessment. As we pass our resolutions in this House, we urge that they be taken directly to the relevant Ministry, so that they start addressing that. A dam is not supposed to cause flooding; it is supposed to be a control measure in itself. However, that is not happening anymore because as I said, climate change interfered completely with whatever the Ministry had done at the beginning. Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir, after doing ... view

• 16 Nov 2022 in Senate: I strongly recommend that TARDA and Tana Water Works Development Agencies should work together to ensure that they develop and rehabilitate that River as well as see what they can do with the Mathenge plant. They should also ensure that they divert water for drinking, livestock and irrigation. That water is a lot and is enough for all activities right from the upper side of the river to the lowest side. It is one of the gifts of a river that we have in this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that my time is running out and there ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I would like to join Sen. Mungatana in thanking Members of Parliament for passing this list. I would like to thank the coalitions and political parties for nominating us to this position. In the year 2004, I was in the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) when the PAP was started. We had joined a delegation that was led by our own Member, Hon. Kangwana, to go and express our support as EALA. When we went there, the voice of Kenya was required as far as nominations to Committees and the ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is nice to contribute after a medical doctor who delivers his own twins. Congratulations. view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion on the Promotion of Mental Health Facilities for Mothers. I congratulate Sen. Kibwana for her first Motion that is extremely important. In the last Senate, we discussed mental health in a Bill that was driven by Sen. Kasanga very successfully. However, this one has “teased” out just a little of the sector concerning the women. This Motion is extremely important because mothers raise nations, presidents, kings, engineers and teachers. When mothers lose their children, often times, they are left wondering what could have become of the child they lost. They ... view
