• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Cheruiyot for bringing up this matter. At this point in time, the areas of Nyando are flooded. Further afield in Karachuonyo, Homa Bay County, we have serious flooding. The solution has always been very artificial. Whenever there are floods, we go there with blankets, mattresses and sacks of maize and beans. In fact, the Ministry of Devolution has perfected the art of hiring helicopters to go to the flood zones to provide some tokens with the media in tow. The ultimate solution is the construction of this dam. The idea of this dam was ... view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, even though Sen. Cheruiyot requested the Statement from the Committee on Roads and Transportation, it is in the public domain that the KTLN is currently domiciled under the National Treasury. Parliament has also processed a budget that has allocated resources to the National Treasury for the parastatals and bodies that Sen. Cheruiyot has mentioned. Would it be in order for this matter to be considered jointly by the Committee on Finance and Budget and the Committee on Roads and Transportation, because it entails a transfer of functions from one Ministry to another? Therefore, if we have the ... view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, the Senator for Nandi County has more than ten times, spoken about the Indian variant of COVID-19 in Kisumu County. Is he in order to speak about things that are not factual because the PCR test that is done to detect COVID-19 does not detect Indian, Brazilian, South African or South American variants? Why is the Senator for Nandi County spreading fear and causing despondency, knowing fully well that the President of the Republic of Kenya is headed to Kisumu for a full weekend of launching projects, initiating development, reviving the economy and assuring jobs for the ... view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to contribute to this Motion regarding the historic speech and Address by the Tanzanian Head of State, the first female head of State in the history of the Republic of Tanzania. Tanzanians are lucky because they have a leader whose mien and personality--- view

• 25 May 2021 in Senate: to revert to Kiswahili. For the information of Sen. Sakaja, I was once a teacher of Kiswahili. Some of the students that I taught are now teachers of Kiswahili. I do not have a problem speaking in Kiswahili as much as my variant of Kiswahili is the sheng variant having lived in Nairobi for quite some time. One of the principles of regional integration is specialization and focus. Let us take advantage of our competitive advantages. If Kenya can do well in English, let us do well in English. If Tanzania can do well in Kiswahili, let them do well ... view
• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, if you look at the fundamentals of Tanzania from an economic perspective, if you look at its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) currently and its stock of minerals and wealth, if you look at its natural heritage and the manner in which it has been preserved over the years, it tells you that, indeed, Tanzania has been a sleeping giant but the sleeping giant has now woken up. If the sleeping giant wakes up as Tanzania has awoken, we need to be sure that it is not going to run over the other people in its vicinity. We ... view

• 25 May 2021 in Senate: Republic of Kenya on road network and generally on infrastructure. We have also seen the launch of the new port in Lamu. There are those who think that Kenya is trying to compete with Tanzania in a negative manner. Competition is allowed even within countries that form part of a Commonwealth. Even within the European Union, you will find nations competing as a result of their comparative advantages. So, the Port of Lamu should not be seen as taking anything away from Tanzania. Indeed, if we have greater traffic along the Eastern Coast of Africa, then that will be of ... view
