• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate Sen. Kasanga because she never brings any matter to this House in vain. The Statement that she read was full of statistics and data that most of us are, probably not aware of. I do hope that the issues that she has raised will be given importance. I am suspecting that the same way she came up with the Mental Health Bill, this Statement would lead to some piece of pioneer legislation that will further entrench the rights of children to be free from abuse and all sorts of discrimination. Mr. Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Sometimes, many of us wish that our children would grow up in the village where we grew up. I know that many of us here, if you tell someone to go and hunt an antelope or a rabbit, they will do so and bring it home. However, tell our children to do that, they are clueless. So, let us discipline our children, let us train them, but let us not cross the line of abusing them. Having children working in farms for legitimate reasons in a peasant economy is not abuse. It is only abuse if they have to work ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, having listened to your Communication and the submissions by Sen. Orengo, it has addressed one of the questions I had in mind, why the requirements of Standing Order No.135 were not applying. Standing Order No.135 relates to constitutional amendments by Parliamentary Initiative. There are those who believe that there should be a 90-day period. So far, my curiosity has been satisfied. Nonetheless, it needs to be made clear for the public to understand why we are not doing the 90-day period between publication. It will also be remiss if we do not congratulate the assemblies you have ... view
• 3 Mar 2021 in Senate: the President had appended his signature to it. Nevertheless, there was an element of public participation in it. Finally, the guidance I wish to get from you comes from Article 257 (10), because Article 257(9) is clear that if Parliament passes the Bill, it is submitted to the President for assent in accordance with Article 256(4)(5) and the article specifies the timelines, which state that it is within 90 days. However, Article 257(10) says that- “If either House of Parliament fails to pass the Bill, or the Bill relates to a matter specified in Article 255(1), the proposed amendment shall ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I initially wanted your protection from Sen. Kang’ata, also known as Usain Bolt, because he came in and he was distracting me from very serious business of the House. Since he has now become orderly, allow me to request the Committee that will be considering these two Statements to also consider the human wildlife conflict that exists in the Lake Region. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: My people in Homa Bay, and by extension, the people of Kisumu, Siaya, Busia, and the communities that surround Lake Victoria have to contend with hippopotamuses and crocodiles. Unfortunately, it appears as if the Kenyan Government, through its The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: agency, the KWS, pays more premium to the lives of wild animals than the lives of human beings. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just this morning, a community in an area of my county called Kabondo were up in arms. This is a community that lives next to a forest. They say that they are going into the planting season and baboons and monkeys are making a meal out their farms. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in Senate: The definition of being a Kenyan is not just the human beings. It is also the natural ecology, the wild animals, the flora and fauna. We must find a formula to co-exist with all the natural diversity, but in the hierarchy of beings, the human beings must be placed higher. Whenever our people come across hippopotamuses and they have to kill them because of the unavoidable conflict, it is our people who bear the brunt. The KWS comes and arrests people, and yet sometimes it is the hippopotamuses that have transgressed into the grazing lands and fields of our people. ... view
