• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: It has had many challenges, but it is a step in the right direction. They have rolled out and managed a few units, there are a few challenges, but it is a good step forward.

• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: When it comes to one of the other pillars and strategies, that is, jumpstarting the county from net consumption to one-off production. Again, this is something that we really want to celebrate. This is where jobs are going to come from. The Government now needs to be clear on some of the strategies that they are putting forward. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: On the issue of land reforms, a lot could have been done, but so far, the few steps that the Government has taken, including the digitalization of the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, is a positive step forward. It begins to resolve some of the issues that we have had in the difficulty in doing land transactions like the loss of documents and things like that. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: We have sat through Petitions that have been brought in the Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources on a few challenges here and there. However, you can see the bigger picture of where it is intended to go. We must celebrate that and say that it is about time we celebrate technology and use it as far as possible. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, when it comes to infrastructure projects, you will hear a lot of Kenyans mention that huge infrastructure projects are happening, and yet, the impact is not being felt. Yes, we will have loans to pay for these infrastructure projects, but going forward, the Executive needs to highlight on what the learning lessons are. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: We have talked about making sure that the projects that are done have enough local content, so that our youth can get jobs. It is not just the youth, but all levels of employment need to have local content, including consultants, drivers, and all sort of Kenyans. They need to have a lot more local content when it comes to large infrastructure projects. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I have to add a bit of frustration that we sometimes get from the Government when not enough public participation is done towards some of these mega projects, where key stakeholders feel left out. This is an area which I wish the President would have given a bit more commitment. Going forward, the Government will do proper public participation when it comes to some of these large projects. This is because it helps with accountability and fighting corruption, which is another issue that I wish could have been spoken on a little bit more. view
• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: As we know, one of the biggest challenges of the Big Four Agenda is corruption. We would like to see a lot more done. We want to see more convictions. Now that we view

• 17 Nov 2020 in Senate: have tried to look for the COVID-19 billionaires, we have realized that it is such a long process. I do not even know if we will ever find them. The ad hoc Committee on the COVID-19 Situation in Kenya has left it to the Committee on Health to continue looking for those billionaires. It is frustrating and Kenyans are losing hope. The Government has to continually keep our hopes up and make sure that these convictions are made. Lastly is on the BBI. I once listened to Sen. Malalah – he is not here today - delivering a speech in ... view
