• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity that you have given me to take to the Floor to support this Motion and speak more about the IG nominee, Douglas Kanja. This is a time when the country really needs an IG.

We realised that the experience the nominee has in this country is quite enormous and we were really impressed. We brought to the limelight of the ... view

• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: I request that as we continue to approve the nomination of this officer, Mr. Douglas Kanja, that he will observe and address a few issues that were coming out very strongly during the interview from the Members of the committees and also public. We received quite a number of memoranda through public participation. I request that the nominee addresses the issue of shortage of police vehicles. We realised that a number of police stations have no vehicles. If there are no vehicles, then there is no fuel, no transport, no supervision and a shortage of security. The issue of housing ... view

• 14 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to oppose the Motion and suggest the option of going plenary way, so that we give a chance to the people of Meru and the entire country to understand and even follow the proceedings and uphold transparency. They will understand how and why this Governor is coming to this House a third time. I stand to oppose the Motion. view
• 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
