• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, fairness should be applied as we consider these controversial issues.

• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: We all see adverts on our highways. For those of you who know, outdoor advertisement is a competitive business. To some extent, there is monopoly in certain areas but we are trying to open up the market for anyone. This Bill will simplify the way applications are done and make counties responsible for licensing. You know what that means. The practice is that a person who has a license from Nairobi can advertise anywhere in the country. This Bill requires that you must go to a particular county and make an application. That means that anyone who will want to ... view

• 13 Nov 2018 in Senate: support. I have taken note of the proposals and some of the changes recommended. It will be a much richer Bill. I appreciate the fact that new insights have come out from their contributions. Some of the new insights include widening the definitions to include other agencies like the Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) and the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA). They also proposed to have provisions in situations where people paint old buildings sometimes without recourse to regulations. What they have raised will be considered in the next phase of the Bill. I thank everybody and I beg to ... view

• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: wildlife and people in areas where wildlife is found. I also ask the Government to strongly support the wildlife management in the country because it is related to tourism. All the monies accruing from tourism should support the wildlife ecosystem. Sen. Mwaruma has brought out issues in regard to human-wildlife conflict. However, dealing with the problem once and for all would really help us. There are so many Motions, Statements and Petitions that have come before both Houses concerning human-wildlife conflicts. Therefore, we should not be talking about these matters anymore. Madam Temporary Speaker, the proceeds of wildlife is basically ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the crocodiles on Turkwel Dam have done so much damage to the people of West Pokot, especially those who live around Kasei, Sook and Endugh wards. When the children go to fetch water in the rivers, the crocodiles pull and bite many of them, but compensation has been impossible. Why is it easy for us to plead for that sector to be funded and yet, when it is fully funded, they cannot compensate when the wildlife attack people, cause harm, death and havoc? view
• 8 Nov 2018 in Senate: When we are dealing with this matter and, finally, we have the policies and come to write the regulations, we should say that compensation should be made easy. We should find a very easy way of compensating those who have suffered as a result of this. view
