• 7 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.56(1)(a) to make a statement relating to a matter to which the Committee is responsible. I wish to make a statement on the overflowing of the dams used by Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) to generate electricity in the country due to the ongoing heavy rains.

• 7 May 2024 in Senate: A permanent solution, however, is the construction of the dykes at the most vulnerable, sensitive places in the Tana River and the construction of the High Grand Falls Dam. Dykes are flood mitigation structures created in river that prevent water from flowing beyond a certain height. These flood control structures are used to protect coastlines, riverbanks, agricultural fields, homes, urban areas and other properties. A country like Somalia, with the help of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), constructed two dykes in the Bulai Stream, which transformed Hadji village in the hinterland of Gendo region. The Netherlands have also used ... view

• 25 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Chairperson. Following the discussion that we had in the House, the proposals by the Committee of the New Clause 19A was amended to read in the subsection 2, and I read- “The grower who fulfills the provisions of subsection 1 shall notify the board of the intention to supply cane outside a sugar cane zone.” The rationale behind this is that the wisdom of the House saw it fit to pass the responsibility to the board as opposed to the farmer because some farmers could be small-scale farmers and they may not have the ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I also rise to support this Motion by Senator for Narok. The issue of pending bills cuts across both national Government and county governments. It is a sad affair because the governments at both levels have resorted to borrowing money from unwilling suppliers and contractors. This has seen destruction of small enterprises.

This is because Nyeri County is one of those counties ... view
