• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Besides that, I can see the recommendation given by the Committee, that there is need for proper collection and reporting and using digital platforms. We cannot understate that digital platforms today are the best ways of mapping out, recording, and storing. We need to insist upon counties do adopt these platforms. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: One day here, we were speaking on some areas where we felt that county governments need to improve. For example, we know that many county governments are now collecting a lot of revenue from liquor licensing. However, how are these funds accounted for? We can see areas where they can be used to enhance the livelihoods of Kenyans in the counties. For instance, they could be used to help in the sensitization on the use and abuse of drugs, or to come up with rehabilitation centres for affected Kenyans. They could also be used to run sensitization programmes within schools. ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: implementation of well-intended projects cause a lot of money to be lost. From a construction point of view, the process of conceptualizing and implementing a project is very obvious and clear. There is nothing more to it. However, you will find that many counties do not want to engage in professionalism because they deem professionals to be expensive. I can tell you, without a doubt, that this is not true. I have had engagements where I tell members in counties that an architect is not expensive. In fact, you stand to lose more when you do not involve one in ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: I congratulate the Committee. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support. view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was still forming my thoughts as I was looking though the Bill. I thank and congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Milgo, for bringing this Bill. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from a reading of the Bill, I can see that it seeks to give effect to the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, on the distribution of functions between the national and country governments. Paragraph 25 of Part One of the Fourth Schedule assigns the responsibility of ancient and historical monuments of national importance to the national Government. It also assigns the responsibility of cultural activities, public ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I imagine a situation where every county has a place they call their place for heritage, storing cultural artefacts or a place which tells the story of who they are, as a people. I imagine that being a place that, first, has an architectural impact. It can be a landmark or a park, the way Machakos has the People’s Park. It can be the place where young people can express themselves and be reminded of what their culture was like. It can be a place where a people can identify with. This is a beautiful Bill ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, every time we travel to a new country, one of the first things we do is to visit the museums because it gives you the history of the people. It gives that depth and breadth where you begin to understand those people. I can imagine if all our counties had such a thing, it would be a very beautiful thing. I have not gone through the whole Bill fully, but I appreciate it nonetheless, because we can see where it is going. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in my conversations with young people, I have come to ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: When you see that it is the mandate of the county to provide, enhance and give the space for cultural activities and public entertainment as well as public amenities, then in an instance, you see potential. Our young people have to appreciate that gone are the days when we were just training doctors and people for white collar jobs. We are now going into talents. We are seeing more and more change in the society and the environment, as it is in the West, where we appreciate dance and music as part of careers. It is these platforms at the ... view
• 23 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I speak, I would like to encourage the younger people to understand the roles that counties have to play for them. By devolving this function of museums, I am truly looking forward to seeing all these things in each county The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
