• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: I do not know whether the Senate Majority Leader can consult in a low tone than he is doing. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 26 Sep 2023 in National Assembly: In the first nine months of own-source collection of Nyandarua County, we collected Kshs346 million. Out of this, Kshs156 million was collected from hospitals which denotes the fact that 45 per cent of all of our revenues are collected from the sick. It then makes sense that this money should be used to improve the health facilities from which this money has been collected. When we sweep this money to the County Revenue Fund (CRF), what would guarantee that this money shall be used again to acquire services, medical and nonmedical supplies for this particular health service and this money ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to agree with the elder of our church, the African Inland Church (AIC). This is a Procedural Motion and you also know that we also have the other Bill before us that we need to conclude on. I second and ask that we have maybe three Senators from each side, if it is agreeable and then we limit debate. view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Even one Senator from each side! The mood of the House is that they just want the question to be put. view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to second this particular Bill. From the onset, I did not know that Sen. Cheruiyot has that in-depth knowledge on matters of environment and climate change. I feel very challenged that he has understood the meat and crust of why we need to do this particular amendment. As I second, a lot of issues that I need to say have already been said by my brother, Sen. Cheruiyot. However, I want to answer a question that is being asked by most of my colleagues. It has been directed to all the Members ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: happening in Kyulu in Machakos, how was the money paid. The Senator for Taita Taveta County is here. He was asking how Kshs120 million was paid to a ranch and he was told it was their share of the carbon credit. They traded, but they did not know how much was paid. They were given some blanket figures. When we speak about clarity, you will be surprised today that there is a company running in Siaya County doing carbon credit trading on behalf of the people of Siaya County. However, this is not known by the leadership of Siaya, Nyandarua ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: With those few remarks, allow me to end there. I ask my colleagues to support this Bill even if they think it has been rushed because it will benefit our country. As a country, we are honoured to host the whole continent next week. I seek the indulgence of my colleagues to pass this Bill so that we become the second country in the whole continent with such a framework and we will be leading from the front. Our President chairs the African Working Group on Environment. It is out of this honour that we are hosting the Summit here. ... view
• 31 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate, today, 31st August, 2023:- Report of the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources on the Climate Change (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.42 of 2023). view
• 29 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion. Sen. (Dr.) Oburu has stated that we are supporting this Motion while opposing it. This is further from the truth. We are in support of this Motion. However, we are giving our reservations. We have our own reasons for this approach. I support this Motion. The Senate Leaders of Majority and Minority has stated that despite the support to this Motion, it is fair to allow people to speak. There are certain questions we are addressing that cannot be handled by the 10-member dialogue ... view
• 29 Aug 2023 in Senate: Kalonzo Musyoka can do to that fact. His Excellency President William Ruto will be our President. There is nothing that will change; whether you audit the server or not. This matter was rested on 9th August, 2022. Secondly, people were on the streets demonstrating. This resulted to loss of life, destruction of private and public businesses. How will a national dialogue address these issues and reach out to the people who lost their beloved ones, sons, property and other losses to the country in general. This behaviour of arm-twisting Government will persist. Sen. (Dr.) Oburu has stated that this is ... view
