• 8 Mar 2023 in Senate: Therefore, it is my wish that together with the Governor of CBK, they will be able to formulate sound fiscal policies that will get us from the situation that we in are today. This country has very great potential. Going by the number of graduates and the number of people who are PhD holders, both men and women, we have what it takes to be able to formulate policies that can change this country, but the impediment has always become the political class. I am happy to be a Member of the Kenya Kwanza Government, which is committed to liberating ... view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for hosting the Political Science group of students from Karatina University. Karatina University is one of the new institutions in Kenya and situated at the slopes of Mt. Kenya. As you have noticed while reading out the names, the students are from across the country. It is the face of Kenya. Being Political Science students, we are looking upon them as leaders of tomorrow to deliver this country to where we would want it to be. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is in these institutions of higher learning that we are anchoring the future of this ... view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: also get what it takes in education and skills learnt along in life. That is what will take this country forward. I also thank the students from Karatina University for overwhelmingly supporting and electing the Kenya Kwanza Government. I thank them for supporting me to be the Senator for Nyeri County. I look forward to have a word with them after this. Welcome to the Senate. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I rise, I have mixed feelings as to whether I should support or oppose. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: This Government is talking about building 100 dams that will be constructed in lands belonging to communities. What we know is that rich individuals have gone out and bought land for speculative purposes, where infrastructural development are taking places. They then wait until the projects come and they ask for compensation. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: It is high time, as a House, that we re-look at compensation. We need development projects and they must be built on a certain piece of land. However, it is unfortunate that we, Kenyans, have been held hostage. We have the rich people getting big chunks of money in any coming development. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Going into the new approach of PPPs, the question arises, we should ask ourselves this question. How do we address the issue of compensation in an equation where you are bringing in an investor? Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my request to this House that we look at this issue with a lot of sobriety. We should ask ourselves, moving forward, how we get development - which we need - if we make land such an emotive issue that is costly and makes it unaffordable for investors that we are trying to attract? view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: As much as I support that the people be moved in a humane way, I also think that it is high time we started looking at the issue of land and detaching it from the emotional attachment associated with it. This is not a social welfare state where we are able to pay for everything. At the end of the day, when we talk about the people of Buxton, maybe it is a few rich people who went ahead and secured the houses. It is not the tenants who benefit. It is high time we relooked at the issue of ... view
