Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support. Kenya is one of the countries that is blessed and bestowed with a lot of diversity.

Therefore, the approach of taking Senate Mashinani will not only give the Senators and the members of public a view of the other counties, a perspective of a different diversity, but it will also show the public what the Senate does. The interaction ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I also rise to support the appointment of Dr. Susan Jemtai Koech to become the next Deputy Governor of CBK. Today, being Women's Day, this is a major milestone for this country. I would also want to thank the administration of Kenya Kwanza. They have indeed shown that women have shattered the glass ceilings. They have indeed demonstrated that their commitment and the charter they signed with women was not a campaign gimmick, but proof of their commitment towards empowering women to take up roles in major positions and become ...

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 ...

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.

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.
