• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we convey our condolences, we celebrate a man who did a lot of things in this country. I would just touch on a few things that have been mentioned by my colleagues. One is that we are celebrating an educationist par excellence; a man who expanded the university sector and the secondary school sector. In the secondary school sector, he in fact expanded the education of girls. We hear of Moi Girls High School, Lugulu, Moi Girls High School, Eldoret and many others. All these Moi Girls’ secondary schools were built to help girls expand their ... view

• 10 Feb 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will never forget the trip to the Beijing Conference in 1995. I was among three lecturers from the universities who were asked to go and be part of the secretariat on behalf of the country. What shocked us as university lecturers because we did not know about women movements at that time was the fact that President Moi sponsored women of all classes from across the country. We had a woman leader from Kiambu who spoke only in Kikuyu. Jane Kiano was holding onto her and translating everything. This is the man we are celebrating today. ... view

• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for that ruling, because it will be so unfair to the people of Uasin Gishu County if I did not say anything. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Senate has done a wonderful job. I thank the Committee for Roads and Transportation for such a wonderful handling of the Petition. I remember that the petitioners actually came to our sitting in Eldoret, when we had the Senate Mashinani . This was a very hot issue at that time in town, and the people were worried about how they were to be compensated. This is because they just ... view
• 5 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you for that, Madam Temporary Speaker. I support this Report and I hope that a very quick process will be taken for compensation to be done, and also consider other areas, including the Ilula-Targei-Chamingwa Road. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to support the Statement by Sen. Mwaruma. I was privileged to serve as an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Natural Resources, Minerals and Mining from 2010 to 2011 when the late hon. John Michuki was the Minister. He played a role in coming up with the Mining Act. Sen. Mwaruma is seeking an important aspect of the Royalties Fund. At the time of coming up with the Act, we were interested in knowing who should benefit from the minerals. Our minerals have been safe for a long time. ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will be important for the Committee to look at the entire value chain of mining. When coming up with the Mining Act, we wanted to know the value of every mineral. Back then we had problems with the mining that was going on in Kwale and Kilifi because a big company was licensed to mine one mineral but they got many other associated minerals. The question we should be asking is whether we know what mining companies take from us, the value of what they take and who speaks for Kenya. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, a lot of gold mining has been taking place in Kakamega County but they have not benefitted from it. When I was an Assistant Minister, we handled a case of a company that had been mining for 10 years in the name of prospecting. I urge the Committee to look into the issue of royalties keenly.
