• 9 Mar 2023 in Senate: My Chairman has come back; I hope you will give him an opportunity. I have said that tomorrow we will meet with the energy sector to give us reasons we are having these recurrent issues. view
• 8 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a wonderful day for the women. We are celebrating International Women’s Day and for the first time, we are debating and approving a woman to be the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). This is good. Dr. Susan Koech is experienced with over 30 years in the banking industry. She has a PhD, as well as a Masters and Bachelors in business administration. She is also a member of the Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) and several professional bodies. She has the experience and is suitable. She is a Kenyan citizen ... view
• 7 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to make some comments. It looks like KRA does not have a system that can verify those who qualify for tax exemption. In my proposal, KRA and the National Council for Persons with Disability (NCPD), need to work very closely to ensure they have a system to verify PwDs. The people who are challenged or disabled should get identification cards. People should not get fake cards from Kirinyaga Street, apply for exemption and qualify. At the end of the day, PwDs, who really deserve, are punished for reasons that they do not know. ... view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Petition because if you read what the petitioners have said, the County Government of Mombasa started moving them out from 2021. They went to court and the magistrate did not give them an 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: injunction. I do not know why the magistrate was not lenient because if they have been there for the last 50 years, they should have been given adequate time to move out. The county government being the owners of the building and the land, would have given them an alternative place to move to. If there is no alternative place, give them enough time and notice to move out. They ought to have then signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), so that as soon as the affordable house are built, they are given the first priority to move back to ... view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: From what our colleagues have said, they and their relatives have been there for more than 50 years. As you know, the longer you stay in a place, you develop a lot of attachment. Madaraka Estate here in Nairobi was owned by the Nairobi City Council those days. Along the way, National Housing Corporation (NHC) and Nairobi City Council had issues and they sold to the owners. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: I believe the people of Buxton expected the houses to be sold to them. The Kenya Kwanza Government is going to do affordable houses and more highrise buildings, maybe 10 or 15 floors. Since those cannot be sold to one to one person, let us give then an opportunity. view
• 1 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mombasa County Government now has a new Governor. The residents need to re-negotiate because maybe the outgoing Governor did not listen to them. As the Petitioners, county Government and the Governor, are invited to the Senate, we should deal with this issue speedily, so that our people do not continue suffering. I support. view
• 23 Feb 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my comments are on the last three Statements. One, by the time employees are paid their gross salary, which includes Pay As You Earn (PAYE) which is a statutory deduction, National Security Fund (NSSF), National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and pension, it is part of the salary. We therefore do not see the reason why the County Government of Marsabit and others are not remitting these statutory deductions. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to compel these counties to pay even the penalties. This is because I know NHIF charges a penalty of almost ... view
