• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 47 (1) to make a Statement on an issue of national concern, namely, transportation of cargo from Mombasa. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: On 6th August, 2019, I made a Statement in this House on the issue of transportation of cargo from Mombasa to Nairobi by the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). The Commissioner General of Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the then Managing Director of Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) had issued a joint circular advising importers that all cargo imported through the Port of Mombasa and destined for upcountry destinations shall be transported by SGR only. This directive had a devastating effect on businesses in Mombasa and the rest of the Northern Corridor up to Nairobi. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Statement was referred ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Housing, Urban Development and Public Works was present at the final meeting on this matter held on 4th December, 2019. Hardly six months after that meeting, the directive by the Senate and even before the dust has settled, the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works has issued another circular, which shall come into effect on 1st June, 2020. The Circular is directing that all cargo from the Port of Mombasa destined for neighbouring countries shall only be transported by SGR. In the directive, the CS alluded to the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic as the main ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am okay with the two weeks. However, the directive is supposed to take effect from 1st June, 2020, which is on Monday, next week. So, I would suggest that they write to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) to suspend it immediately pending the deliberations of the Committee. I thank you. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Asante sana, Bi. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa ya kuchangia taarifa ambayo imeletwa Bungeni na Seneta wa Bungoma, Sen. Wetangula. Nilikuwa na Taarifa kama hiyo ambayo nilikuwa nimewasilisha lakini nikaambiwa ya kwamba Sen. Wetangula alikuwa ametayarisha Taarifa kama hiyo. Bi Spika wa Muda, tatizo la madereva kusongamana katika mpaka wa Malaba ni tatizo ambalo limekuwa sugu sasa. Hii ni kwa sababu kwa muda wa wiki mbili, magari yamekuwa yakizuiliwa. Madereva wengi ambao ni Wakenya wanapata shida kwa sababu hawawezi kuingia Uganda bila kuwa na kibali cha kuonyesha kwamba wamefanyiwa uchunguzi wa korona, na wakapatikana kuwa hawajaambukizwa ugonjwa huo. Bi ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: wamepokonywa mali. Wengine wanalala na kupika barabarani, ambapo ni hatari kwa bidhaa za mafuta kama vile petroli na gesi ambazo zinasafirishwa na magari yale. Hili limekuwa swala sugu na ni lazima tutafute ufunguzi wa haraka kwa sababu ni madereva wetu ndio wanapata shida. Vile vile, ikiwa halitatatuliwa kwa haraka, ugonjwa wa korona utajaa katika barabara zote za Mombasa na Malaba. Kwa sababu Serikali haijakuwa tayari kuweka vifaa vya kutosha ili madereva waweze kuchunguzwa na kupeana vibali vya kusafiri, cheti cha Yellow Fever kinahitajika ukiingia Uganda. Kwa nini hawasemi hawakubali cheti hicho kwa sababu imetoka Kenya? Wanakataa vyeti vya Kenya za ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 47 (1) to make a Statement on a matter of national concern, namely, the recent shooting down of a Kenyan aircraft operating in Somalia allegedly by Members of the Ethiopian armed forces. On 4th May, 2020, a Kenyan aircraft EMBRAER 120 Registration No.55 AXO owned by African Express Airlines was landing at Bardale District Airstrip in the Bay Region of Somalia when it was hit by Ethiopian troops on the ground. The aircraft was completely destroyed killing all six people who were on ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: airstrip to receive the medical supplies and one wonders why the soldiers were in a hurry to shoot an aircraft that had already landed at the airstrip. It is very painful for the families of the four Kenyans who lost children in whom they had made a great investment to educate and train. Training a pilot takes time and a lot of resources and sacrifice. For a soldier to aim his gun on the craft and shoot is, to say the least, very reckless and inhuman. This was a civilian aircraft as was clearly visible and had shown no sign ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Asante, Bi. Spika wa Muda kwa kunipa fursa kuchangia ombi la Taarifa kutoka kwa Seneta wa Kitui, Sen. Wambua. Maswala ya elimu ni muhimu sana kwa vijana wetu ambao wanasoma. Ni jambo la kusikitisha kwamba TSC imezembea katika kulipa marupurupu ya walimu ambao wamepandishwa vyeo kuwa naibu wa walimu wakuu. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Shule nyingi za sehemu za mashambani kama vile Kitui na kwingineko, wanafunzi hawafanyi vizuri katika mitihani yao kwa sababu walimu hawana motisha ya kusomesha. Hii ni kwa sababu hawapati marupurupu yao mapema ili waweze kuwa na hamu ya kufundisha wanafunzi wao. view
