• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. We are advocating for the compensation of the people who are evicted from their land. It is the Government that allocated land to them in that area. view
• 9 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this time to also add my voice. From the outset, I thank Sen. Kasanga for bringing such a wonderful Motion. Formation of community forest associations will go a long way in assisting in terms of conserving forests. Our Constitution of Kenya, 2010, obligates the state to increase the forest cover to 10 per cent. As things stand now, forest cover in Kenya is barely at four per cent.

• 3 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the time you have given me to also support this Bill. This is a very important Bill that seeks to cure the blooming business of street vendors in our country that lacks control. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a form of employment to many our youths, apart from many other people, bearing in mind the fact that our country has very many unemployed youths. In this case, it will go a long way to provide self-employment, particularly once we have proper planning and control. It will assist our youths. We have many youths who engage in various activities such as drugs and substance abuse, robbery and sometimes even radicalization because they lack what to do. Once we regulate the street vendors, this will be one way of actually providing employment. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in Senate: Another very important thing about regulating street vending is that it will go a long way in contributing to trade in our country. Through trade, our country will be able to collect its revenue. Once street vending is regulated, counties will collect a lot of revenue. We have had problems in counties because most of them just rely on Exchequer from the National Treasury, yet there are many ways that they can collect revenue. This includes small businesses such as street vending. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in Senate: The provision of a legal framework will ensure that we have control, particularly in terms of the issues of nuisance. If we go round, even in Nairobi, sometimes, without control street vendors sell their wares in front of other shops. By so doing, they block those established premises from accessing customers. With a legal framework, they will be able to be allocated specific areas where they can sell their wares. As a result, they will not interfere with other businesses. view
