• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move. 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
• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have taken notice of all the comments that have been made by Senators. From the ones that are in favour of the Bill as well as those who are not. This includes all the concerns, objections and the critical issues of being alive to the fact that 11 laws are being amended. So, we must be very careful as we go this direction so that we make sure nothing is sneaked in there. view

• 4 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Elections (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 18 of 2019) by Sen. (Eng.) Maina. I agree with him that it is necessary and important to include people’s nicknames in their electoral documents because there are people who have been known by certain nicknames for years. Many people in the villages may not know the legal names of a person other than their nickname. Another aspirant can actually benefit when the voters do not know the legal name of their candidate. I believe that this will go a long way in ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: No. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. I will just state that it is Wakarura, similar to Karura Forest. I rise to second the Statute Law Miscellaneous Bill and also just point out a few of the things that we felt in some of the Committees that I sat in, that it was necessary to bring out. Additionally, given that it is a lot of different laws that are in this Bill and different Committees have gone through the Bill, it seems they have done a good job. Beginning with Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act, we noticed that a lot of the ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: on morality; whether it is just really being punitive so as to stop many people from participating in betting, lotteries and gaming. It is either you give the licenses and let the people carry this on or you do it in a reasonable manner. That is why I believe in some of these amendments the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights felt were unbearable. Going also from Kshs40, 000 to Kshs20 million is harsh. It also begs the question as to whether we are trying to do away with the small players in the country and leave the ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: tend to also read and come across these distress calls. However, we are not sure how the Government reacts in different countries. Therefore, by having these amendments and we are cognizant of this issue that is really problematic. Slavery now seems to be worse than it was in the past, especially the problems faced by victims of trafficking. Therefore, by developing and implementing these different programmes that the Bill proposes, this can go a long way in helping Kenyan migrant workers in different countries. It will assist in coming to their aid when there is a distress call. Most or ... view
• 28 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion. I begin by congratulating the delegation that represented us in Poland. That delegation was led by the able Senator for Wajir County, Sen. (Dr.) Ali. I also congratulate them for bringing such a great Report to Parliament that talks about a very important issue; climate change. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is climate crisis in the world today. Every country is undergoing some form of climate change, and Kenya is no exception. When we see this kind of Report and we get to hear of what was ... view
