• 30 May 2019 in Senate: The tragedy about Taita Taveta is that 75 per cent of arable land is under sisal cultivation. Another large portion of land is under wildlife. There are big tourist sites and lodges in Taita Taveta. The other pieces of land are under mines. The little that is left for the people who live on the hills, is the one that is affected by this illegal herding. Taita Taveta County is considered a marginalised and poor county because of the historical injustices that these people have faced from time immemorial. view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: I tend to agree with Sen. Mwaruma when he said that the Committee has found that the grazing of animals is illegal. If that grazing is illegal, then it means a crime has been committed. If a crime has been committed, somebody should be charged for it. To suggest that we should increase enforcement officers is not addressing the issue that nobody should enter your land without your consent.

We have a principle in the law of torts which we call trespass ab initio . This is one of it and where you can a charge somebody a certain token for the number of cows or camels that are in your land. I should have ... view

• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am wondering out a loud that we have had several reports on various funds. For example, I have heard about Kirinyaga mortgage and now this one on Taita Taveta. I am not quite sure whether we are referring these reports to any Committee for purposes of reporting to the Senate. So, would I be in order to seek your directions? It is a first time I am hearing of them. If there have been coming, there is no Committee that has a mandate of doing those particular issues. If it is the Committee lead Sen. M. ... view
• 30 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to make a comment and maybe the Committee should make a further request. When I was the Chairperson of the Committee on Information, Communication and Technology, the Universal Access Fund had up to Kshs4.1 billion of taxpayers‟ money for the rollout of the network in the country. The Statement should include how much money of the Fund they have spent to date and how much money they have received from the public, so that we determine whether they have utilised that funds as envisioned in the law because the problem of network in the country ... view
