• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will stay away from sizes of heads and fruits. Indeed, I said that I first saw the jack fruit when I was grown up. It is a huge fruit and cylindrical. The jack fruit approach to development is something that we discussed while in Uganda. Sometimes we had this feeling that because of the jack fruit and the manner in which it matured and grew in certain parts of the country, it was possible to wake up in the morning, go and sleep under a tree and go back to your house in the evening ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Now, our county governments are in that state because they are assured of revenue from Nairobi. They can afford to do nothing else. They are sure that they will get Kshs300 billion and when they do not get it, it is Sen. Murkomen and the Deputy Speaker who will make the loudest noise for counties to get that money. It is a very lazy approach to development. It is time we started giving proper targets and incentives for county governments to raise revenue. We currently have a 2 per cent fiscal responsibility but that is not enough. I think we ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: This Bill will allow the City County of Nairobi County to optimize its outdoor revenue. It will also allow other counties to do so. The Senator for Nandi County has already stated that there is a presumption that outdoor advertising is the preserve for cities and the big counties. However, all counties have that potential. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me note that certain counties have already passed their own legislation. The City County of Nairobi has passed legislation on outdoor advertising. I think Nakuru and Mombasa counties also initiated something. We encourage the remaining counties to come up with their own legislation because this Bill by Sen. Poghisio allows counties to come up with specific county legislation which will be more details and prescriptive than what we have here that is already prescriptive. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Allow me to just talk about three specific issues on this Bill. Clause 6 of this Bill talks about licensing. It is clear that licensing shall be the responsibility of the County Executive Committee (CEC) member who within 14 days of receipt of an application, consider the application and may do certain things as prescribed in the Bill. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: The question I have in mind is; is issuance of licence procurement? This is because there is serious money involved. If the City County of Nairobi was to issue Moses Otieno Kajwang‘ and Sons a licence to do outdoor advertising in Nairobi City, will my company be required to defend itself at some point or will the County be required to defend itself on the procurement procedures? We need to think through this very carefully. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: If we are going to give Esther Passaris a licence to carry out outdoor advertising in Nairobi, can someone challenge that? Through this licensing, are we trying to defeat the Public Procurement and Disposal of Assets Act? This is something that we need to ask; what does a licence do? Once you have been granted a licence, does it mean that you can go to Mombasa Road? view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is an example of an enterprising lady in this Republic who has made a very good name in outdoor advertising--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is just an example. However, if it suits to use an example that is recognised by the House, I could use Sen. Shiyonga and Daughters Limited. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you grant Sen. Shiyonga and Daughters Limited a licence, is it akin to a procurement process? In my mind, I am still not very sure about this because there is a lot of money involved here. view
