• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Like the Senator for Kitui said, on this particular matter of Meru, this time around, we, as a Senate, have to ensure that the people of Meru get justice. They are not children of a lesser god. We have to do everything we can. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I rise to second this Bill, allow me to, first, make an observation on two of our very senior legislators in this House; the Senator for Tana River County, Sen. Mungatana and the Senator for Kakamega County, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, who was a parliamentarian when I was a primary school child. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: The two legislators take their legislative work very seriously. Rarely will you miss the face of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale sitting here from 2.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. everyday. It is the same case for the Senator for Tana River County. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I see the Senator of Kiambu County is a bit excited. He wants me to include him in that list. Anyway, because I am cut from the cloth of the truthful men, I will hold back including him in that particular list. We are learning from the best. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I understand the reason I finished primary school, went to high school and university and still found you in this House. You have not left because you take your work seriously. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: I rise to second this Bill that has been brought by the Senate Majority Leader. I am being distracted by the Senator for Kisii County, Sen. Orwoba, who is now pushing that it is now time for the Senator for Kakamega County to serve his people in other positions such as Governor. That is up to him. He will make that choice right time. He had attempted it sometime back, but many other things happened. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your guidance. You are also a person we look up to since you are also serving your third term. If my calculations are right, you started serving in 2013, when I was a student. You are in that category of people who keep serving this nation. The purpose and intent of this Bill, as has been elucidated by the Senate Majority Leader, is to ensure that all our public land is registered in the name of the institutions upon which this public land has been granted. As the Chairman of the Standing Committee ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: There is something else that has been the intent of this particular Bill. I am sure the Senator for Kiambu County will be very interested in this particular conversation; the dispute that you see in the Tatu City Development structure is that; for the 5,000-acre parcel of land, there was an intention to have 406 acres of it forfeited as part of three primary schools and other utilities in that particular development. I think, of the initial 5,000 acres, 406 acres were supposed to go for public use. However, over time and as the value of that land grows, the ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Report by the Committee on Finance and Budget on the status of implementation of projects that were funded by conditional grants for construction of county headquarters. One of the counties that was a beneficiary of these conditional grants was my County of Nyandarua. The reason this was mooted in this House was to address the inequities in five counties that have been mentioned here. These are Lamu, Isiolo, Tana River, Nyandarua and Tharaka-Nithi. After hiving off, either their old district headquarters were taken to other places or they never enjoyed having ... view
• 18 Jul 2024 in Senate: That project was to be undertaken jointly by both county and the national Government. We were invited by the Committee twice. The meeting included Governors and Senators from Nyandarua, Tharaka-Nithi, Lamu, Isiolo and Tana River. During the meeting, there are two things that came out clearly and that is part of the recommendations of the committee. It is fair that I also report to the best of my knowledge, especially for the case of Nyandarua in terms of the overall responsibilities of project management, including supervision, monitoring and payment of contractors. That is a secondary matter, but there was a ... view
