• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: many others. Sen. Sakaja is right in sentiments. Can you imagine somebody constructed a building that was leaning like the tower of Babylon in a country where such kind of things are not supposed to happen? The idea of a disaster management framework is to make sure that you do not have buildings which are leaning like the one that was constructed in Kinoo. It is surprising that somebody can construct a building that is leaning yet the authorities have turned a blind eye. That is the purpose of this Bill. When we travelled to Brazil, we went to Brumadinho, ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this framework also anticipates that we need to train young people. One time I was invited to Starehe Boys Centre and I was very impressed with what was going on there. I do not know whether Sen. Sakaja is aware that St. John’s Ambulance has trained a specific cadre of students in Starehe Boys Centre, whose work is primarily to deal with emergencies in the school, for example, fires or when somebody has collapsed. If somebody had an accident on Mombasa Road, chances are that people will waste so much time trying to watch what has ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: 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
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: ambulance to come from Machakos County or Wote in Makueni County to take you to hospital. Chances are that, in the process of waiting, you can lose your life. I pray that we never get the sort of disaster I saw in Solai Dam. In fact, if it was not for some of the green houses, this water was headed to Solai Secondary School, a boarding school. That is how bad that disaster would have been. Up to now, the gullies that were left by that water have never been addressed. If you touch this issue, you will most likely ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: As I finish, the country is very proud of the sort of highways that the national Government is constructing on Mombasa Road. Now, nobody has factored in the construction of these roads, the high-level accidents, like people flying from the road is not contemplated. Therefore, I hope that this Bill and the people who matter, can understand that even in the turf wars in Parliament, this is one of those Bills that are people-driven to take care of Kenyans. I have said this before and I must repeat to the powers that be; a Government is supposed to - at ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: Now that we have drought, I have no doubt in my mind that we are going to have a series of floods in Kenya and the cycle will continue. We will look for Mr. Abbas to donate food. view
• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: In the case of Solai, the food was siphoned by the provincial administration for their own purposes. Since we censured them and said they should be removed from office, they have never been removed from office. I think that some of them were possibly promoted. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second this Bill and hope that it will not suffer the fate that it has suffered before. I think that it is high time that we not only prevented disasters, but planned to deal with them when they happen, whether it is terrorism, floods or even the locusts that visited ... view

• 21 Sep 2021 in Senate: because I had never seen the inside of that tower until last week. Documentaries showed people who went to those places to make sure that they rescued as many people as they could. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second and hope that the country can adopt this framework that Sen. Sakaja and I agreed to co-sponsor as one of those ‘handshake’ Bills that we thought would be useful for the country at the time. I second. view
• 15 Sep 2021 in Senate: .: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. At the onset, I must say that as a Member of the SBC, I am not amongst the people who are resisting that proposal to have an Implementation Committee. I say so because--- view
