• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: It is important that the Chair of the Committee on Roads and Transportation liaises with the Ministry to see if the contractor has done substandard work. If that is the case, then such a contractor must be surcharged and retired from construction so that a better contractor is contracted because whether we use fuel levy funds, the Government of Kenya (GoK) funds or borrowed money, it is a burden to the taxpayer. We would like good work to be done. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: Besides that, that road is important. We all know the nightmare of the Likoni Ferry Services (LFS). That is a road that connects Mombasa Island round Dongo Kundu to areas of Kwale, Diani and others in the South Coast where huge populations of people live and work in Mombasa. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: In addition to that, I also want to draw the attention of the Committee Chair to the poor state of road service between Malaba International Border and the Port of Mombasa. As of last week, the queue of trucks from Malaba Border, which I have previously visited with among others, the Senator for Marsabit when we had a problem, was extending 65 kilometres from the border all the way past Webuye and Lwandeti to Turbo. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in Senate: This is undermining business. If Uganda is Kenya’s number one trading partner, it defeats logic for the Government of the Republic of Kenya not to ensure that goods and services move seamlessly. This is the case with Busia where my brother, Sen. Wako, comes from. Last weekend, the queues were from Busia Town to Bumala Town. In Bungoma, it is from Malaba Town to Turbo Town. This is unacceptable. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the President signed a loan for expansion of this road, we want to see it expanded all the way as a dual carriageway from Mombasa, through Nairobi, ... view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to register my appreciation for the Message that you have delivered; that CARA is now passed. I believe that the President will expeditiously assent to the Bill, so that it becomes an Act of Parliament to effect orderly management of resources between the two levels of government. As we do so, I want to take the opportunity to say two things. First, the CoG should understand and appreciate that it is not a trade union. The CoG is degenerating into a very poorly managed and organized trade union. If you look at the ... view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what is happening in our good country today is worrisome. If I was in the shoes of my distinguished friend and brother, Sen. Poghisio as the Senate Majority Leader, I would have stood up to inform the House what the Government is doing to address some of the issues raised in this Statement, instead of preempting what the Committee Chairperson will bring before us. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, I came here in anticipation that the Senate Majority Leader would issue a Statement on the happenings in Kenol, on his own Motion. The war drums going on in this country--- You lead Government business. The Government has every duty to protect the lives and properties of all Kenyans and the visitors to this country. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: What happened at Kenol, and appears to be mutating into a norm for political bad behavior all over the country, is worrisome. We all remember that Sen. Orengo, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, the late Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, Hon. Sally Kosgei, Hon. Martha Karua, Hon. William Ruto and I were the team that sat at Serena Hotel when this country was on fire. What we went through is not an experience to behold, and we do not seem to have learnt any lessons. view
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, a rabidly pro-Government media house carried a very worrisome story that intelligence had it that there was going to be violence and chaos at Kenol, and the police responsible for security at Kenol were advised to leave their stations and go home. If this is happening in our country, then God help us. 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
• 7 Oct 2020 in Senate: I am very sure that even 20 policemen would have stopped the skirmishes that we saw at Kenol if they were properly briefed. We are told that intelligence gave information that there were underhand currents showing that there was going to be violence, and we have lost human lives. In fact, the Government owes Kenyans an apology for failing to maintain peace and security. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and Sen. Dullo, who are practicing lawyers, should know the famous case of Kimanga versus the Republic of Zanzibar. He says that a breach of peace cannot be imagined to be committed ... view
