• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: He was simply focused on immorality in school. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a nation, we need to start a public conversation on morality. The other day I was addressing people in Bungoma County and some of them were teachers. I told them that if a teacher whom we entrust our children more time than the actual parents turns onto these children, then they are psychos. I also told them that if the attraction a teacher has to a pupil he teaches is uniform, he should go and buy his wife uniform so that every time he looks at her, he ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: of a mother is to think about the child that they have and not anything else. We must do something. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we challenge the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) that the gusto and energy that he is pursuing the corrupt in economic terms, must be the same gusto and energy he should pursue the morally corrupt. We want to see people prosecuted and in jail. We want to see people punished and their property confiscated to look after the children that they have sired. Today, we live in an age where it is very difficult to even police ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in Senate: This was a Bill that would straighten and bring some sanity to some degree. The draft Bill that Justice Njoki had brought had even proposed castration of men who assault children. Cruel as it sounds, any man who sees a woman in a 10 year old child does not deserve to be given the opportunity to be a man. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is about Kshs12 billion. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I congratulate the Senator of West Pokot for bringing the Bill. When this Constitution 2010 was being framed, outdoor advertisement was under the Fourth Schedule, placed under Counties. It does appear that as we framed the Constitution, we had a dimmed view of outdoor advertisement being generally described in Article 3 of Part (II) of the Fourth Schedule that counties will be in charge of control of air and noise pollution, other public nuisances, and outdoor advertisement. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: It was out in a category of all negatives; it was not seen as a positive activity because when you are talking of air and noise pollution, public nuisances this includes noise from dogs and all other animals. This is in reality not the case. Statistics show – I want to correct my good friend from Narok – that last year outdoor advertisement generated revenue of over Kshs12 billion. This is money that is supposed to be exclusively collected and appropriated by county governments. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Obviously, Nairobi leads as well as other big municipalities and urban centres like Mombasa, Eldoret, Nakuru, and Kisumu will fall in that order. As they do so, this House has duty – and the Senator of West Pokot has done the right thing – to give some direction of regulation in the industry but sufficient enough to leave the county assemblies to also regulate through their own legislation and regulations. This is because what is obtained in one urban centre is not necessarily what you find in another. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: As we pass this Bill, I would want to encourage Sen. Poghisio to include provisions that would protect owners of sites a little better. If you look at the advertisement structures; and last elections I used to see a lot of billboards of candidates who would pay an average of Kshs120,000 every month. On the third day of the month it is pulled down to give way to another. You would find that the owner of the site that makes Kshs120,000 every month for a year has paid the local authority, now county governments, a licence fee of Kshs2,000 or ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: This Bill should give some direction because county governments must generate revenue to provide services. Sen. Poghisio at the Committee stage should attain to define some percentages. What percentage of the overall fee payable for the site per month would go to the county government and which will go to the owner of the land or building on which the site stands. If you go to the villages, you will find many owners of properties with billboard sites hardly get anything. People would come and tell you they want to pay your building with Safaricom colours. The owner of the ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: have nuisance youths who every time you put up a post of Sen. Poghisio the next day his opponent‘s poster his pasted on his. And it continues like a running war. We also need a provision, which Sen. Poghisio has not defined clearly, for penalty for people who mutilate billboards and advertisement material. This particularly comes in handy during trade wars and political competition. You have seen how East African Breweries have elbowed Keroche Breweries out of the market in some areas. You go and visit a place and find there is a painting of a Tusker beer; the next ... view
