• 6 Dec 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to also support this Motion. I believe it is important that we extend or alter the calendar of the House to accommodate that important business that has not been transacted or completed. Given that we shall be going on a very long recess, it is important that we take care of the issues that we need to handle before the holidays, particularly so, the issue of the EALA. It is unfortunate that Kenya is holding back the Assembly by not sending its delegation. We have been tasked with the work of sending the ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that cities, towns and urban areas in Kenya are increasingly getting overpopulated leading to overstretching of services and amenities; concerned that improper management of waste has become a major cause of pollution of neighborhoods, water sources and other natural resources leading to rise of environment-related diseases which cause many deaths; further concerned that in most urban areas, waste is dumped in an uncontrolled manner posing a great challenge to the wellbeing of urban dwellers, particularly those living near dumpsites; acknowledging that the problem continues to rise despite the ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity that you have given me to reply. I want to take the opportunity to really thank my colleagues for the contributions that they have made towards this Motion. When I hear you speak, I get it now that it is an issue that definitely affects every county. As the population is really growing across the counties, we have a big issue with the waste management. I was happy to hear the other suggestions that my colleagues have pointed out that will be helpful when the national Government comes up with ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to second that Motion. It is a very important Motion. It is a period that Senators have worked extremely hard. It is the right time that we take a small recess and be back to carry on with very important nation building issues. I second the Motion. view
• 11 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give Notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that cities, towns and urban areas in Kenya are increasingly getting overpopulated leading to overstretching of services and amenities; concerned that improper management of waste has become a major cause of pollution of neighbourhoods, water sources and other natural resources leading to the rise of environment-related diseases which cause many deaths; further concerned that in most urban areas, waste is dumped in an uncontrolled manner posing a great challenge to the wellbeing of urban dwellers, particularly those living near dumpsites; acknowledging that the problem continues to ... view
• 11 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this Motion. It is a very critical and important time in the history of our country. Our major function, as the Senate, being to legislate for this country, I believe that this Motion is timely so that we can get the country back to stability. We have gone through elections and the Supreme Court nullified the presidential election results. As we move forward expecting to do our civic duty on 26th October, 2017, it is important that, as the Senate, we legislate on whatever gaps the Supreme Court pointed out or may exist ... view
• 10 Oct 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise in support of this very important Motion having listened to the Mover, Sen. Mwaura. I know how much the people living with disabilities have so much to overcome in order to get a smoother life. Our Government has done quite a bit to try to equalize things so that the persons living with disabilities are able to get a leg-up a bit. I would also agree that the Government should set aside a fund, just like we have seen with the senior citizens of the country, where there is a fund that helps ... view
