• 2 Jun 2020 in Senate: Lastly on the issue of marijuana. Marijuana is not just a problem in Isiolo or Mandera, but also in Migori. Most of the marijuana comes to Kenya through Tanzania, where it is grown in large rural parcels of land. We, in Migori, would also like to know how the Government is dealing with the porosity in the borders. The borders are porous. Some criminal boda boda people and other traffickers who come to Kenya are known, but no action is being taken, as Sen. Dullo has said. Large vehicles are transporting these items and they are not being searched or ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support Sen. Faki’s very good Statement. It is an open secret that SGR is officially being treated by this Government as a scam. The Government, through the Attorney-General and other concerned parties has already written to the Chinese Government protesting the corruption riddled management that is being spearheaded by China. The Government insists that SGR be a monopoly. It also suggests that a monopolist be given an opportunity to swindle and steal from other Kenyans by taking out truckers and road transport that would have offered competition. So, the ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, SGR was designed and marketed on the basis that it would enhance efficiency and production in the country. However, as we speak, today, there is no efficiency or production. We are asking SGR to introduce a third problem of removing truckers from Mombasa and all the other people who have been benefiting from it. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: I ask the concerned Committee and the CS to tell the House and Kenyans what they are doing to enhance the efficiency and efficacy of SGR as a way of achieving public transportation. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Lastly, it has been hyped that SGR will reach Kisumu and Uganda yet we are already having problems in Mombasa and Nairobi in terms of the effect it has with truckers. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: The responsible Committee should also tell us when they engaged in public participation so that the public accepted the rules and regulations that they are trying to introduce that have the effect of rendering truckers and people who borrowed money to buy and build godowns jobless. So, it is important to know when public participation took place, who participated in it, where it was advertised and who gave them the go ahead to put in place these regulations. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this matter is affecting Migori County very seriously. All the COVID-19 cases that have been reported in Migori The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: County are through the Isebania border. The people whom it has been attributed to are the truckers. Migori County is unique because in the entire Migori, Homa Bay and Kisii and Nyamira counties to a larger extent, there is no testing for COVID-19. All this is done in Kisumu. There are truck drivers who have to come into Kenya through Isebania through a place called Kopanga or Ntimaru. All these truck drivers have to await their results from Kisumu County. The distance between Migori and Kisumu County is 196 kilometres. There are no amenities for these drivers and there is ... view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: May I ask the Committee responsible for this together with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) who is expected to respond to this, to treat this as a siege that is engulfing our entire nation and the economy. If nothing is done about Busia, Migori, Lunga Lunga, Mandera and all these other places, I think we are going to be an economy under siege. view
• 26 May 2020 in Senate: Particularly for Migori County, we would like all these testing facilities to be brought to the border. You cannot put those truckers in Migori County and then send tests for five days as they wait in places that do not have other facilities. You are posing a risk or causing the people of Busia, Migori, Lunga Lunga and Mandera to be at risk of COVID-19. view
