• 7 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also add my voice to the statements from Sen. Beth Syengo and Sen. Wakoli on the issue of pending bills and capitation of Technical Training Institutions (TTIs). We know very well that TTIs and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVETs) are integral and important institutions that offer skilled labour to our young men and women within the counties. Therefore, we need to focus on them. The capitation from the national Government through the Ministry of Education is a very important programme that needs to be observed. The national Government need to look into ... view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to also add my voice to this matter of the Land (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.40 of 2022). Land issues are very emotive. More importantly when it comes to my County of Kajiado, you know very well that every space that is now available around this great City of Nairobi, is in Kajiado County. The amendments to public land have come at the right time. However, I think that we need to do more. This Bill has brought very important amendments. We want to go deeper and look ... view
• 1 Aug 2024 in Senate: governments should come in to make sure that when community land is subdivided into private land, there is private registration of public utilities, so that they are registered under the name of the community or under the county governments. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on that point, I will bring up the issue of the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC), which needs to fast-track the transfer of assets to the devolved departments of counties. This is because we will have many issues when we begin registering these public utilities since we do not know who to register this land to. Is ... view

Abass, for coming up with this important Bill; the Fire and Rescue Services Professionals Bill (Senate Bills No.55 of 2023). I support this Bill because there will be boards nationally and in the counties, and where we will focus on the disaster, nationally and in the counties. These problems occur in our counties. These boards will look at issues of discipline by those handling the fire. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 24 Jul 2024 in Senate: They will also focus on training where counties and the relevant Ministry in the national Government will budget sufficient money to train on fire. The boards will come up with policies that will help in issues of fire and rescue services. It is true that we have been having issues and problems in our counties on the breakdown of fire equipment. It is something that is there. It is not history to us. However, the way we have been handling recoveries or paying those affected has never been in place. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Bill that at least ... view
