Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a secret agreement and one of the paragraphs reads:- “One should not post negative articles, writings, videos or photos on social media, Facebook, YouTube and et cetera that involve SGR operation.” The only reason this secret agreement is being done is because photographs have appeared in the newspapers showing workers lying down. This matter is not even a scandal; it is a matter of national concern. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the question of wildlife dying along the railway line, I am aware that one of the coaches travels with these Chinese. More importantly, ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Bill; the Retirement Benefits (Deputy President and Designated State Officers) (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 2 of 2018) with the following general principles: First, I am aware because I did research on the principal Act.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support my colleagues in this Statement. I will be a little bit more candid. The fire in Gikomba was deliberate. It was done by arsonists who have the protection of the Nairobi County Government and the police. That is the reason why the police, instead of arresting criminals, they are in Gikomba preventing people from reconstructing their shops under the pretexts that those shops were under a powerline. If that was a good reason, the powerline would have been moved and these people be allowed to reconstruct their businesses. What is more tragic is ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This issue has two fronts. On one, the middle level Kenyans are been exploited by people who we call real estate developers, but they are just grabbers. Sen. Sakaja, in your City of Nairobi, people are buying homes on top of a river along Argwings Kodhek, Kileleshwa and Kirichwa Kubwa. WARMA has now woken up all of a sudden because they realised they are going to be charged in court for negligence and they are putting marks all over Kileleshwa and other places. The building near Mbagathi roundabout is owned by a Member of Parliament; ...
