• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Bill. This Bill has a lot of improvement and amendments. This Bill cuts across the agreement of the two parties, especially where the tenant and the landlords are to discuss the issues they face in terms of service provided.

We also know that in Kenya most of the payments, especially in terms of loans, are done monthly. If the interest continues to pile because you are waiting for the tribunal to settle your issue and you do not have any other source of income to replenish when it comes to the property you took using a loan, then you will suffer. Speaking from both sides, we also have rogue landlords or property ... view

• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support the Statement by Sen. Cherargei on the high cost of food, farm inputs and the cost of living.

Our cries are falling on ... view
