• 12 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been sitting here. I came to this House to contribute to this Committee of the Whole debate. However, I am surprised that we were gagged and we could not make our contribution to this Bill. Now the Senate Majority Leader wants us to finish this process this evening, I wonder why the hurry because we will still be here on Tuesday, next week, to pass this Bill. In any case, this Bill with the amendments that have been proposed, will go into the Mediation Committee. So, why are we rushing through when in any ... view
• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. From the onset, I want to declare that I oppose this Bill. This is because, this Bill, as Sen.

• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: This Bill does not define what gross salary and gross income is. It is ambiguous. I am concerned that the space for public participation is not in this Bill. Why would we even go to public participation when we know that we are not going to incorporate the views of the people? I have gone through the report and the views submitted by the members of the public and even Government institutions were ignored by the Committee. Most importantly, the view by the Kenya Bankers Association that said that persons who already have their own houses be exempted from this. ... view
• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise on Standing Order No.105. My good friend, Sen. Cherakey, has stated that the stakeholders who appeared before the Committee were satisfied. That is contrary to the report by the Committee that showed that nearly all the stakeholders who appeared before the Committee had a problem with this Bill.
