• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support Sen. Sakaja‟s Statement, which is timely and also touches on people‟s lives. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: I am one of the Members of the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialisation. When this Statement comes to the Committee, given the contributions that have come from this House, we will look at it. As my colleagues have said, we, the stakeholders, are the ones who will answer most of these questions because much has been contributed. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: However, many young Kenyans, in this case, have been denied an opportunity to venture into self-employment. Not all youth wish to be employed in white collar jobs. For those who want to be self-employed, they are being denied a chance to do so. It is my hope that whoever is concerned, especially the Government, will address the whole sphere of how best they can accommodate these youth. This is because if any of these youth is denied the opportunity to invest or has already invested in such and they say that they need to end their businesses, we will lose ... view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: My humble request is that when the stakeholders come to meet us, let them come with all the answers that we expect. Let them also be ready to face the Committee that will support youth other than supporting the Ministries that are derailing our youth. view
• 22 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I think one week is enough for us to do this as you have already ruled. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First of all, I applaud Sen. Sakaja – although in his absence – and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for coming up with this Bill. Indeed, they have the interests of this House at heart. This Bill is timely because sponsors of Bills in both the National Assembly and the Senate encounter difficulties. Whenever you think of coming up with a Bill, you have to ask yourself whether it is a money Bill or not, and whether it will go through. You have to ask yourself so ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, both Speakers of the Senate and the National Assembly are Members who need to put their Houses in order when it comes to Bills. They are the ones who spearhead everything. When Bills go for Presidential assent, they are the ones who are present. Of late, we find that Members are disowning what is discussed in some Bills because they were not involved in the passage of those Bills. This Bill actually gives us leeway with regards to the right procedure, framework and the right way of doing things. Where there are disputes, the Bill has, ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: I look at all that has been discussed in this Bill and I applaud the Members who came up with it. The two Speakers do not need to disagree on anything because they now have the road map on how they will sort out issues to do with Bills. We need a framework to guide us on how things are supposed to move in the two Houses of Parliament regarding the passage of Bills. If the Houses are divided, nothing can take place and no laws can be passed. Kenya depends on Legislators to pass Bills that will enable them ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill will enable us to make things sail in the correct way, and give us the authority that we need. It will also allow us to move in the right direction, other than confusing and bulldozing one another and deciding on which House is better than the other. Both are Houses of laws and policies, and they need to communicate to enable this country move ahead and come up with good legislation that will build Kenya with the new generation. view
