• 8 Oct 2019 in Senate: In those good old days, I used to go to a small town called Ortum, in West Pokot, where my elder brother was teaching in a school. Next to Ortum was a River called Murunyi, which had a heavy flow of clean water. We would walk into the river and see fish in it. We would drink water without consequences to our health. However today, River Murunyi is seasonal, and it flows less than eight months a year. The rivers that used to flow from Mt. Elgon to form major tributaries of River Nzoia into Lake Victoria and River Sio ... view

• 3 Oct 2019 in Senate: Ningependa kumuarifu Seneta wa Mji mkuu wa Nairobi kwamba katika Bunge la Kaunti ya Mji mkuu wa Nairobi, chama anacho wakilisha hapa Seneti kina wingi wa waakilishi wadi kupindukia.

• 3 Oct 2019 in Senate: leseni ya mwaka mmoja kwa kulipa kama Shilingi 600 au Shilingi 800 kwa mwaka. Hivyo ndivyo tutakuwa tunawasaidia. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I can hear some cynical laughter next to you, which may amount to a private nuisance. I rise to support this Bill because it is supposed to bring order to an otherwise informal sector that is subjected to constant harassment and disruption by those who are commonly called kanjo or the council askaris . Mr. Speaker, Sir, vending, or in other words, hawking, is an age-long trading system. People, who otherwise cannot afford the brick and motor of shops, can walk around with their wares or position themselves in areas where potential buyers can come ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: process, they avoid being terrorized and harassed by askaris employed by county governments, former municipalities or county authority. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that the originator of this Bill is the Governor of Murang’a County. He is the one who started to talk about a Bill of this nature. It has now found its way to the Committee, and I am happy that the Senator for Kirinyaga has ably moved it. However, we must be careful in trying to support vending or hawking, not to surrender authority of the counties to the national Government. I see clearly that in Clause 4 there is an unacceptable provision that is surrendering the authority of counties to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the City of London has a routine where every weekend certain streets are closed down completely for vending. If you go to the famous Petticoat Lane Market on Saturday, there is no other trade than vendors who lay their wares, and people know about it. The same applies to Shepherd Bush Market. Every city must have this kind of thing. However, it is ridiculous to herd hawkers from places where they can sell things to people and take them, for example, to City Park or Marikiti, which is a wholesale food market. So, we need to balance ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the distinguished tycoon from Nyeri, who is my good friend, is simply arguing. He has not raised a point of order. I will repeat what I said for avoidance of doubt. I said that there was a noble patriotic policy at Independence to wrestle trade in Nairobi from non-Africans, particularly on Commercial Street, Biashara Street, Grogan Road and many other places, and hand these businesses to Africans. Unfortunately, instead of Africanizing trade at that time, the Minister tribalized it. That is what I said. The blinkers of tribalism in this country have not gone away up to ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me go to the next point. My good friend is smiling with total satisfaction. view
