• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: The law is what the court declared it to be. We do not want to bore other Members with legal matters. However, if the Supreme Court declared something to be what it is, then that it is the law as far as there is dispute in terms of what it is supposed to be. Therefore, I beseech my learned friend, Sen. Kang’ata to respect the mandate of the Supreme Court or any other court to declare the law as what has been declared by the court. view

• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to ask you to save this House from Sen. Kang’ata. He is saying that what the Supreme Court said was advisory. Some of us who were serious in law school know that courts do not act in vain or engage in pedantic arguments. Therefore, when the court pronounces itself on something, it is what it is supposed to do. It is not pedantic, academic argument or orbiter. Therefore, we cannot say that whatever the court says is advisory. We would be promoting anarchy. So, would I be in order to ask you to save us ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to congratulate my sister, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, for raising this very pertinent matter. It is a known fact that we do not have enough teachers either in primary or secondary schools. We also do not have enough tutors in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. A policy is being whispered around or rumored, if you like or please, that there will be a 100 per cent transition. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you come to my county, you will find that there are no trainers and no facilities. It would be ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to make my remarks regarding this Bill. I take this opportunity to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for thinking about Kenyans whom we never think about. More often than not when we talk about natural resources, we think about lining our pockets and what we can get out of them. We do not think about people who have nurtured these resources in respect of--- Maybe God put the resources for their own benefit. Therefore, it is kind and magnanimous for Sen. (Dr.) Zani and her team to have thought of these ... view

• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: this kind of revenue sharing. In Migori County, we have copper, gold and many resources, including water. What we might have exploited to exhaustion is wildlife because we ought to be part of Maasai Mara National Reserve but we have over exploited the wildlife there. We no longer have them. If you go to places like Macalder in Nyatike, Nyatuoro, Minyenya in Rongo, Kuria sub-counties and Masara, you will get vast quantities of minerals. When you quickly look at the quality of life led by our people in those areas, you will be greatly disappointed. You will see, side by ... view

• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: This is a good Bill; if the House buys into it and implements it, I am sure the issue of conflict, endemic poverty juxtaposed to immense natural wealth will be a thing of the past. Madam Temporary Speaker, sovereign wealth is an issue that appreciates the fact that natural resources when exploited get exhausted. It is important to make use of them now, in the foreseeable future and also to keep some resources for future generations so that we do not make ourselves a generation that stole from the generations to come. This is a noble proposition that we should ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: We found some things when we were born, we must leave more things when we leave this earth. That is a good spirit by my dear sister Sen. (Dr.) Zani. I conclude by thanking her for thinking about the poor and people who live near these resources but have never had an opportunity to benefit from them. In an orderly society, we must minimize conflict and think of ourselves, our children and the children of our children. view
