• 27 Nov 2018 in Senate: are people who are likely to develop such exploitative local abilities and would, therefore, defeat the desire for this Bill to transfer skills to the local people. Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I also want to thank the Senator for ensuring that this Bill has the component of sustainability. We are gifted or given resources by God, as our provider, and if you look at the Bible, Genesis 1:28 directed us to this. That is the first commandment which God gave us, which is to multiply, fill the world, and conquer it. In my view, we should manage this process in ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to welcome the delegation from Kisumu County. I want to thank this particular delegation for visiting Migori County when I was looking for votes. They were quite useful and orderly and were able to immensely contribute to my being elected. I want to take this opportunity to welcome them to this august House. I want to say that the work that our colleagues at the county assemblies do is very important. It is the foundation of oversight and if they do it well, and we as Senators build upon what they do, ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add my voice in supporting this Petition. Conflicts arising from land disputes are deadly, yet land is the basis of production, freedom and development. I am pleased that the Senator has brought this Petition so that an amicable settlement can be arrived at. I am equally pleased that this House has been identified as a House that can contribute immensely towards giving peaceful settlement to the communities involved. Where I come from; Migori County, we have a simmering dispute over community land between Migori County and Transmara at the border of ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank my colleagues, and specifically this august House, for the good words they have spoken in my support. I express my gratitude to the Senate Majority Leader for this Motion and also his support when I was vying for the seat in Migori County. He was very supportive both in word and deed. I will not mention what he did for me, but he has always been supportive. I confirm that when I was at the university for Masters, he indeed, taught us very well International Trade Law and was a good ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to make a few remarks in respect to this important Bill. It is important to appreciate the primacy of our Constitution. The Constitution is a supreme document that binds all institutions and citizens. It is the basis upon which mandate is exercised. It is clear that any time there is mention of the word ―Parliament‖ that gives or lends credence that Parliament means the National Assembly and the Senate. Any attempt at excluding the Senate from the meaning of Parliament – for those who are vigilant, loyal or committed to ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: is opportunity to discuss those matters inside the Senate Chamber. I believe that this is the right way to go. Even if it did not provide for mechanisms of expediting the processes before either Chamber, it is important that as the Senate, we look at treaties because they will affect counties. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: If you look at the genesis of the existence of senates the world over, you will find that it was stated in the federalist papers that there was need to have an upper House because legislation that emanated from the lower House was generally hot and made in haste. So, there was need to have an upper House. The same way when you have tea that is hot, you need to have a saucer to cool the tea, so that it does not scald or burn your mouth. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: It is important as a country that we do not rush the processes of treaty ratification. I know that globalization is with us and ratification of treaties is how to actualize and benefit from acts of globalization, But, again, Bills or treaties that emanate from the lower houses may come expeditiously and may not have received what we call sober consideration. So, it is important to give them a second shot; look at them in revised and calm fashion, the way we look at things in this House, so that members of the public ultimately benefit immensely from the wealth ... view
• 21 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, you know that in this House we have several Senior Counsels, including the Attorney General Emeritus, Sen. Wetangula, among others. So, a treaty that would be injurious or harmful to this country will not escape the vigilance or the hawk-eyed Senators who sit in this House. I think for good measure, we need to have it in our legislation. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to debate on this extremely important Bill. I support it with certain reservations. I need to amplify what Sen. Mwaura has said, that we need more time to look at this Bill, either within the regulations that we have in this House, or within a more relaxed setting. I have had the privilege of listening to Sen. Dullo, who passionately talked about the difficulties she was experiencing as a Senator from Isiolo. She shared how the County Government of Isiolo deliberately circumvented or bypassed her office and other establishments; ... view
