• 3 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank Sen. Kibiru for coming up with this Bill on how to manage and deal with street vendors. I want to start by disagreeing with Sen. Malalah, who yesterday said that this law should not be here and should go to the counties. However, the issue of hawkers cuts across all towns and cities in this country. Therefore, we need a law that is uniform to guide counties on how to deal with – I do not want to call it a menace – with hawkers and their businesses. Mr. Speaker ... view
• 3 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is too much noise. I would love to be protected from the noise, and I would like to be heard. There are loud consultations. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the consultations are too loud. Therefore, I would like the loud consultations to be limited. Let me proceed. As I was saying earlier, there has mainly been no framework to guide counties or the national Government on how to deal with the issue of hawkers or street vendors. This law provides for licensing of hawkers in a manner that should be improved, instead of them having to be categorised. They should be given numbers as somebody suggested yesterday, to appear both at the back and front of the uniforms they wear. Those uniforms can be coloured depending ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would also like to inform this House and especially Sen. (Eng.) Maina, that certain words acquire meaning that is not necessarily in the dictionary but depending on how it is used over time. The word “hustler” now has acquired a different meaning from what is in the standard dictionary. Maybe, in a few years, we will get a fourth or fifth meaning of the word “hustler”. As it is now, it also means a hardworking person, who is not necessarily in a formal way of operation. The Senate Majority Leader is right on the meaning of ... view
• 2 Oct 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary, Speaker, Sir. I would like to thank Sen. Faki, the Senator for Mombasa, for bringing this Adjournment Motion so that we can discuss this sad event that happened at the Likoni crossing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a lot has been said; very many sad things have been said about what happened there, and how there was unpreparedness. In fact, there was even no simple thing like a rope, which somebody would have thrown in, because the late Mariam knew how to swim, as we are told. Therefore, if anything would have been given to her, she ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. Having listened to Sen. M. Kajwang’ the Chairperson of CPAIC, I now understand why Sen. Malalah was addressing his Governor, Mr. Oparanya, directly. We need to hold these governors responsible for these funds. This is so that they know that when we sit here until midnight trying to allocate these funds to them, it is not for nothing. We are putting our hearts into it and we are going to continue holding them accountable. I thank the CPAIC for standing firm. When they go to them in the county assemblies they should ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Bill that has been ably sponsored by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. For a long time, we have been used to the fact that promotion, licensing and marketing of tourism is done at the national level. There are various institutions in the tourism sector that do this such that the county CECs do not know do not know what to do with their portfolios. The CECs in charge of tourism have been thinking that their docket is about organizing beauty contests. This Bill by Sen. (Dr.) Zani has outlined for the CECs in charge of ... view
• 19 Sep 2019 in Senate: classified the tourist attraction sites and made some money out of it in the process employ our people. There are other forms of tourism other than just wildlife and beaches. There are other cultural and historical attractions such as the Koitalel arap Samoei sites in Nandi County. We have made it look like the other attraction sites are not worth promoting not just locally but internationally. Our counties have created mental blocks in this area. This Bill will seek to unblock their minds so that they open up their minds to promote other tourism sites for their counties. Mr. Temporary ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I also support the Motion by Sen. Malalah to adjourn debate on this Motion, to go and relook at the list and probably replace especially Members from the Committee on Health. I also want to remind us what Sen. Orengo read here; that you made a ruling that the Senate Business Committee (SBC) relooks at the constitution of the Committee on Health. Up to now, that has not been done. That is the elephant in the room that we are not facing. I urge the SBC, through the Chair, that you ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 3 of the Bill be amended – (i) by deleting paragraph (d) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph– view
