• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: The Senate has equally been given the responsibility of being a platform through which citizens can exercise their sovereignty. It is assumed that whatever is within any county and any country is owned and controlled by citizens. When part of that is contracted out to private persons, the citizens cede that part of their sovereignty to the party to which that contract is made, or the party that is sharing that contract with the county or the citizens. It, therefore, touches on the sovereignty of the citizens. The body that is properly mandated to protect the sovereignty of the citizens, ... view
• 20 Nov 2018 in Senate: would bind a county government to a period beyond its elective tenure of five years. Therefore, if there is the possibility of contracting out a service or anything that would overlap the tenure of a county government, it would then be important that such a project is brought to the attention of this august House for posterity. We are given mandate every five years, and you will find overzealous Governors go out there and contract your rights beyond their mandate. The people who will be left behind will be relating to this project for periods beyond five years. It is ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to make a few remarks on this very important Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, society must be regulated at all times for it to be orderly, productive and progressive. I take this opportunity to thank Sen. Poghisio and the relevant Committee for thinking about regulating outdoor advertisements in counties. It is important to standardized the thinking of counties. We should have a standard framework in Turkana, Mombasa, Migori where I represent, Kwale, Homa Bay or any other county including the county of Mr. Deputy Speaker. This will ensure that ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have looked at the areas where exemption from the application of this Bill is provided for and there is need to fine-tune them. Areas of exemptions are so wide. Therefore, it is possible that the exemptions may negate the spirit, intention and output that this Bill is expected to deliver. As we approach the amendment stage, it is my preposition that we look again at the areas that the Bill proposes to exempt and ensure that the provisions for exemptions do not create a wide highway that will defeat the intention, spirit and the object ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank the Senator for Taita Taveta County for the concerns he has raised on behalf of his constituents. I appreciate the very good contribution that colleague Senators have made towards this Motion. This Motion is an appreciation of the fact that wildlife is natural. It is important in terms of its contribution to our national revenue. We need to guard it jealously and manage it in a sustainable manner. Sen. Seneta has raised one aspect which is compensation. In the Motion it is captured explicitly that wildlife is a major revenue earner. ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: intensity of conflict, the amount of compensation sought or that will be necessary to create tranquility may become unsustainable to Government. So, it is important to find out, for instance, why animals such as elephants leave their park and roam in certain places where human beings settle. It is important to understand why lions leave Nairobi National Park or any park and go to other places in search of what they are looking for and come across human beings and, therefore, exacerbate the conflict and cause the need to have this compensation. At some given stage, because of the pressure ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: To get back to the county that I represent, which is Migori County, many of our people also come into conflict with wildlife, particularly the fishing communities in Lake Victoria. People get attacked by hippos, snakes and crocodiles. The need for compensation for those people is as dire as the same need is in Taita-Taveta. This Motion will go a long way in ensuring that we are all compensated. I am yet to find any county in Kenya without human-wildlife conflict. In my view, this is a Motion that should receive the unanimous and equivocal support from both sides of ... view

• 6 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support this Petition. It is timely and important. In as much as human life is sacrosanct and must not be taken away, except as provided for by law, it is also important for the Committee that will look into this matter to look at the interests of the camel owners for them not to wander all over the place. On the face of it, it may appear that they are invading Taita Taveta but I believe that what is causing or actuating that invasion is their need for economic and social survival. ... view
