  • 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I was in some discussion with some Senators there. I support this report and thank the distinguished Senator for Mombasa County for a well-done job. Our country has done well, but it has not done so well in many respects. We have done well to the extent that we are not one of the notorious loans defaulters. In fact, we are not a loan defaulter in any way in our borrowings. However, we have not done so well because we borrow heavily to the extent that in the 1990s, we were spending over 35 per cent of ... view

  • 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: This money that has been in this account has not been run transparently or earning interest. As the Constitution, 2010, requires we need free flow of information, particularly to Houses of Parliament. One would expect the National Treasury to bring a Statement of this account to Parliament annually for the House to know how much money there is. When such a Fund is established and when money is taken out, they need the authority of Parliament. However, we have never had any such engagements with them. So, the wisdom of Sen. Faki and his team to annul the regulations that ... view
  • 14 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, we need the Committee on Finance and Budget and Sen. Faki’s Committee to start engaging the National Treasury on how to craft very tight regulations for creation of a Sovereign Fund that will be handy in future. The good thing with a Sovereign Fund is that if you open an interest earning account, you do not touch it until maturity. When it matures, it is then released to boost the economy. That way, we will be using our resources more prudently than putting our money in a Sinking Fund. view

  • 9 Sep 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I urge the Chair to treat this matter as of extreme national importance. Treat it as if it was a Motion of Adjournment. Given that in the Order Paper we have several Divisions, as we wait for quorum for that, I urge the Chair to give us at least the first one hour, so that we can debate this matter seriously and fully. It has constitutional implications and many other issues that we need to say. In a matter of this nature, two minutes will hardly be enough for anyone to say ... view

  • 9 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. As we support the Statement from our distinguished colleague, what we are seeing happening in Laikipia County is a terrible shame to our country. It is actually collective shame to all of us. Yesterday, for the whole day, the British Broadcasting Cooperation (BBC) world service was beamed on Laikipia, probably because there are several British citizens who live there. Listening to BBC, you would have thought that Laikipia is a part of Afghanistan. It is such a terrible thing. Madam Deputy Speaker, the clips we saw coming from Laikipia are frightening.
