• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Can I beg for a few more minutes? view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Sen. M. Kajwang', are you waiting to speak? view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Clause 17 appears to create whistle blowers; people who can go and lodge a complaint. You should also encourage whistle blowers, but also make it difficult for vindictive whistle blowers. The fact that you have bought a parcel of land and build a good house is no reason for your neighbour to go and complain that you be frozen. I will also help draft something to share with you on how the public can report and the consequences of reporting falsely. Those who are genuine will make reports; the Omtatahs of this world who have ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: and you round up all the CEOs and lock them up, chances are that, those CEOs did not even know that these fellows had accounts in their banks. Therefore, a bargain like that and deferring prosecution and making compensation like we have seen, is very important particularly when you are dealing with large corporates. However, deferring prosecution should also not be used to shield criminality, especially where there is serious evidence of corruption. You have heard of a case from Kitale in Trans Nzoia where I come from, a clerk made Kshs380 million in one-and-half years. He bought property in ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, let me end here because of time although had much more to say on this Bill. I support the Bill and I think that Sen. Farhiya should go through this Bill very carefully through the relevant committee. She could even ask practitioners of law like Sen. Orengo, myself, and others to assist her. Madam Temporary Speaker, it is a very good Bill. It will help this country. I beg to support. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I salute the new tremendous industry coming from Sen. (Dr.) Milgo in her performance in the House. Thank you for bringing this very important Statement. Land use policy in this country does not lack legislation, policy and regulation. What it lacks is the goodwill to enforce the existing regulatory structure. The new Constitution 2010 clearly states that land must be seen as a tool of production. Planning is therefore very important if you want to use land for that purpose. However, we are in a country where nobody cares about what happens to land. ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: turned land everywhere into a commercial enterprise with people subdividing and selling land in very small uneconomical pieces yet the law is very clear that in order to subdivide and sell land, you need to go through some regulatory process. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have land control boards for agricultural land. We have council permits and permission required for land use. If you drive around the country you will note that anybody with land that touches on a road wakes up in the morning and builds a shop then he starts demanding to be given electricity, water and police to ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also know that the bulk of money for land management in the country is still held at the centre yet we say resources must follow functions. All the urban centres in the country become cities by name. For example, Sen. Kihika’s town is struggling to become a city. At the end of the day, they are irritating eyesore slums that nobody wants to look at. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we had the upgrading of slums in Kibera, you saw how reckless the now Governor of Kirinyaga played. In stead of going to Kibera to upgrade slums, ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join in welcoming students and teachers from the mighty county of Bungoma, where yours truly is the Senator and the Speaker hails from. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Moi Girls Kamusinga is a school that I am particularly proud of. This is because it is a twin school to my old school, Friends School, Kamusinga where I went to high school. It is also a school that has a population that is large enough to qualify to be made a national school. Therefore, you and I should pursue this to assist in this regard. I feel ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir. I join you in welcoming the students from Murang’a. I encourage them to feel welcome. Your Senator does not seem to be here, but we will speak on his behalf and welcome you. The Statement that has been made by the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights is very important. In this country we have had a checkered history on the observance of human rights. Kenya has been routinely cited by Amnesty International, United Nations (UN) bodies, the European Union (EU) and local human rights bodies for non-observance of ... view
