• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice to this important Bill by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo. This is a very important Bill because it touches on our culture. Anything to do with our national museums and our culture is something that we should give a lot of attention. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as we all know, museums are institutions that hold the artefacts and articles of the past. They contain actual, tangible objects or reconstruction of the past, which serves as sources of cultural and communal identity. That is basically why I said that this is a very important Bill. Immediately I went through it, I said that I must add my voice to it. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our world today, many of our young people have no idea of what our different cultures look like. Even for many of the people of our generation, you can clearly see that, most of the time, everyone is crying or yearning to see or participate in our cultures. This Bill will enhance that and will help us. Article 11(1) of the Constitution recognizes the cultures as the foundation of the nation, and as the cumulative civilization of the Kenyan people and nation. Article 11(3)(a) of the Constitution further provides that:- “Parliament shall enact legislation to ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Paragraph 25 of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution assigns the responsibility of ancient and historical monuments of national importance to the national Government. The Bill is suggesting that we get deeper into this and have what we call the county museums in all our counties, which will help us. This is provided in the general function in Clause 6 of the Bill through the deletion of Section 5 of the Act and replacement thereof with the new Section. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: The county museums are also required under the new section to consult with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) on the matter of cultural exchanges. This is very important. As I said, once we do this at the county levels, then all our cultures will have its place. Consequently, our young people and generations to come will have something that will remind them of the past, and our cultures as we know them, will not die. We all know that different cultures are not static, but dynamic. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support the Bill. It is my prayer that, one day, we will see the implementation of it.

• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a small factory in Kitengela, where we do some production. We recently went through this similar problem because the KP exaggerated our bill. The KP has been doing this to our citizens, and tough measures have to be taken against the company. As one of the Senators, I suggest that all the people concerned, from the top to the bottom – because the people in charge do that on behalf of their bosses – should be dealt with properly, because it is a criminal case. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Statement by ... view
• 18 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Procedural Motion. Today, we are proud as the Senate for what we did. Personally, it was my first time to participate in a demonstration and to enter a court. I am proud of myself because I have done it on behalf of Kenyans. As a result of this Motion, the Division on Revenue Bill that will follow, is what we as Senators will support in unison for ‘Wanjiku’ that we represent. The idea of National Assembly alleging that governors are misusing money is not relevant because they are not discipline masters. ... view
