• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: In a country like Kenya, you will find that, more often than not, the people who hold offices and are seeking re-election will use their incumbency, their office staff and resources to ensure that the playing field is not level. When the Senate, which besides protecting the interests of the counties and ensuring that human rights are looked after in the counties, gives legitimacy to the hiring of militia, we will have abdicated our responsibilities to the citizens of this country. I would, therefore, like to register my very strong and profound opposition to this piece of legislation as it ... view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In addition to what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has just said, it is also very important to verify if the county assemblies were involved. Was it just the executive committing resources or the assemblies were involved? view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to make my remarks regarding this Bill. I totally agree with my neighbor and colleague, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, who is a person with a wealth of experience and whose presence in this House is something to celebrate. I take this opportunity to congratulate my brother, Sen. Gideon Moi, for thinking about the local content. I had the privilege and honour to travel with Sen. Gideon Moi to Korea in my previous life--- view

• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Quite a number. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Fortunately, I have not lost any; so, I am still alive, thanks to God. I want to congratulate Sen. Moi and I hope he does not stop vying for the Senate; he should also look for opportunities in higher seats. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am merely encouraging him, because competition will give us good output. He is a nice gentleman and his niceness or his magnanimity to the local people is manifested in his involvement in this Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have had an opportunity and also a rare privilege to be the Minister for Energy in this country. This Bill is about oil, gas and other hydrocarbons, which ordinarily fall within the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum. How I wish that it covered all natural resources that we have in this country so that ... view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: framework will also assist us to ensure that our people acquire skills and also transfer the same skills to others for posterity. This will help us continue to prospering as a Nation. Therefore, this is a very important Bill. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, there are some aspects of this Bill that I thought and will persuade my brother, Sen. Moi, to look at. If you look at the definition given to local company or content, you will find that it is covering the entire Nation. If we are to contextualize that and look at regions where oil and gas is found, for instance in Turkana, we need to have affirmative action or take a step in the right direction to ensure that we also protect the Turkana community or any other community from other locally empowered investors. This is ... view
• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: Therefore, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will propose to my brother, Sen. Moi, to look at the definition of local companies and content so as to tighten it. whereas we are all Kenyans and we are entitled to equal opportunities when we are talking about local content, we should also make it more local, so that other parts of Kenya that are doing better than others do not ride on this framework to continue creating economic disparity among Kenyans. This is something that if it is not addressed, explosive relationships between the people who live in counties will continue. Mr. ... view
