• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: at worst, water that has been siphoned or stolen from the main distribution lines leading to losses in terms of revenue. The Kenya Kwanza Government policy to construct huge mega dams using public-private partnerships would mean that we have to manage water properly so that what we harvest can be accounted for. With 70 per cent of non-revenue water, this would remain a pipe dream. It is, therefore, important that we embark on putting into place not only new policies but equally infrastructure that can detect leakages so that water can be treated as a variable asset. Water is life. ... view
• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: We know that we have a lot of unemployed educated youths. We have institutions of higher learning like the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), and Dedan Kimathi University that are very advanced in technology. It is high time that we leverage the availability of technology and technical savvy young people to come up with intelligent metering systems, and intelligent water flow detecting systems. We should even go a step further and introduce innovative technology that can be founded and innovated within the country. If we do that, we will not only manage water intelligently, but also create ... view

• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: water harvesting. Other than that, it will also look at providing portable water as is the requirement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of which Kenya is a signatory. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is my desire to see us come up with measures that will address this very important issue during the lifetime of the current House. If we do that, we will then say one of the major milestones that we will have achieved is to conserve water, as well as ensuring there will be enough of it for the next generations. The Kenya Kwanza Government is committed and ... view

• 14 Jun 2023 in Senate: people living on the lower coastal region are suffering the consequences of our irresponsible behaviour in water use management. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is high time we came up with measures that would ensure every Kenyan, according to the Constitution, has access to clean water. We can only realise this if we also engage ourselves in prudent management of water resource. I request my colleagues that as we go about our business in counties preaching the gospel of planting trees, we should also preach the gospel of using water prudently and ensuring that our water management is in conformity ... view

• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also like to join my colleagues in passing my message of condolences to you, to the Clerk, and to all of us. I may not have interacted with Maria personally, but since we joined the Senate a couple of view

• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: months ago, the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has stood out in one thing. They have held their hands with a lot of kindness to the new Members and most importantly, with a very humble approach and attitude and a lot of respect. As my colleague, Sen. Sifuna has said, we lost another colleague just a few months ago in Dubai, and it was very hard as it is now. The late Wellington was someone who had no signs of any illness or sickness and he passed on just like that. It is a reminder to us all that we are ... view
