• 8 Mar 2023 in Senate: na kadhalika. Wale ni watu ambao kwamba hawana hatia. Kwa nini waathirike kulingana na kitendo cha Kenya Power? Kwa hivyo, Kenya Power inapoenda kukata umeme, ni muhimu wazingatie ile sehemu wanayoenda kukata umeme, ni wangapi wataathirika kwa kile kitendo ambacho watatekeleza. Kukatia mtu umeme kwa nyumba au sehemu za biashara ni kitendo ambacho kinaeleweka. Lakini kukata umeme katika sehemu kama hospitali ni lazima wawe na mpango maalum wa kuweza kupeana notice ya kutosha ama kudhibiti umeme kwa sababu ya wale waathiriwa ambao wataathirika kwa kile kitendo chao ambao hawana hatia ya wao kuathirika kulingana na kukatwa kwa umeme.

• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not have much to say. We have all learned from our mistakes and a lot has been mentioned. I want to urge the Members available here to ensure and commit themselves to be in tomorrow for us to finalize the day and make the quorum. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) was in the Vision 2030 programme. LAPSSET is supposed to be operational by 2030. However, it is only a few years to 2030 and there are only three berths that are operational and, so far, they have spent Kshs56 billion on that project. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: Lamu County has the same complaints and cries as those of other counties. This project has not reached any other part of this country. It started in Lamu and we, the people who are on the ground, are suffering. We are not benefiting even an inch from that project. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the project is now being managed by Kenya Ports Authority (KPA). They bring in their employees. The other time, they brought about 86 employees from KPA. The only people they are employing from Lamu are the dockers with no one in the management yet there are people who are educated and have experience in Lamu. Those people are never given opportunity in the management position in that LAPSSET project. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: I do not understand why the LAPSSET headquarters is in Nairobi, yet there is a big building which was put up in Lamu for the LAPSSET headquarter to be based there. It can even be based in Isiolo. However, they are here, in Nairobi. When you go to the LAPSSET headquarters, you will realise that there is nobody from Isiolo county. You may get one from Lamu and nobody from the other part of this corridor. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: I agree with the Members here that we need to join forces and make sure we all benefit from this project. Our land, about 28,000 hectares, was taken by LAPSSET project. They have subleased that land to Amu Power and none of those people have been compensated. It is only about 300 people who have been compensated. Instead of tackling the land historical injustice in the country, it is unfortunate that the National Land Commission is part of the increasing problems. I agree with the Members that we need to have a caucus that will articulate the issue of LAPSSET ... view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: We know that Lamu is a small port and it has to be assisted but there has to be a timeline. How long will KPA manage LAPSSET and what is the timeframe? LAPSSET can stand on its own but for that to happen they need to ensure that Lamu Port has its own board of directors. We cannot be operating with the KPA board of directors with no representation from a member from the corridor. What is going on is unfair and we need to review the whole thing for everybody to benefit. view
• 30 Nov 2022 in Senate: I thank you. view
