• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: I urge hon. Members to consider urgently, the decisions that have to be made to ensure this works. We have seen the advantages of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and now we have put the law in place. We should be cautious to make sure that nothing goes wrong and to remove fears. Many people would like to know if it is safe to invest with the Government or to have this kind of joint participation in investment. Now there is the protection and legal process. There is provision in bidding, making it open and very reliable so that we can all ... view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: It also encourages Members of this House to look favourably at the possibility that the Kenyan citizens can actually enter into businesses that are big in nature in this country through the PPPs. There is nothing that prevents them from dreaming or thinking big; to bring big projects and funding into the country in order to make provisions for public-private partnerships. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, this is a straightforward Bill. It has created an opportunity for us to see mega projects like the ones you see now in the country; the roads being built, the dams and the toll roads. We can take that into any sector now and leave the public and the business that is available to our people to think bigger, to reach out more and bring out more funding and more private involvement in these ventures. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: With those few remarks, I encourage debate on this matter but we might also begin to see how to improve the sector and enable us create an opportunity for us as members of the public and private. The Government has appointed the Directorate, which has a Director-General and staff with a functional office on this matter. They have had an opportunity to meet with the Committee on Finance and Budget and have looked at the Bill and recommendations of the Bill, which have come from the Committee. The Committee will take us deeper into the discussions on this matter. view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, on this side as the person moving this Bill, I want to recommend to this Senate this Bill and ask my colleagues to second. This is a straightforward matter. It is a matter of saying ‘yes’ to the PPPs which we are all practising but now under a strict structured manner. For the country to gain from public- private partnerships, as well as promote openness and transparency in these partnerships, this is the chance and our law. This has been passed in the other House and it is here for us and is in the heart of ... view
• 5 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I move and ask Sen. Orengo to second this. Thank you very much. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I wish to congratulate the young Senator, our youngest at the moment, who has just joined the Jubilee side, the side to your right. I want to wish him well as we are basically saying to him, welcome to the ‘upper House.’ Welcome to the House of union and devolution. view

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: I remind you that the Member that you replaced was highly celebrated and commended by Members of this House. Therefore, you are well advised to mix freely and, at the same time, make contributions in this House. From the look of it, I know you are capable because you are well educated. Therefore, you will fit in the shoes of the late Sen. Prengei. We thank and congratulate you, and ask that you feel free to consult your seniors. Ask questions and you will be guided well. The work of the Senate is well articulated in Article 96 and other ... view
