• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: As a country, we need to be disciplined. I remember around 1982 to 1993 up to 2002, the BRICS, African Union (AU) and United States denied the late former President Daniel arap Moi loans and donor funds. However, the country was doing well. People were able to go to school and put food on the table. We need to bite the bullet. Perhaps, we need to check because if the other day we had the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) in this House, and there is a deficit of over Kshs700 billion, maybe we need to save for a year or ... view

• 20 Mar 2024 in Senate: There is a lot of corruption. If we are willing- it must start from the top to bottom, we should ensure that there are no leakages. If you as the father of the house, Senator or Governor, you see that there are things that you are doing that are not right, basically, it will go down stream. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we need to check these things and ensure there is governance and not giving unrealistic own source revenue where they create pending bills. This is one of the reasons why we are suffering at the counties. A county will ... view

• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Affordable Housing Bill. As Kenya Kwanza legislators, there is a promise that we made to the people of Kenya when we went round campaigning for the Presidency in 2022; that we will ensure that our people get affordable houses and Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Madam Temporary Speaker, therefore, that is why the High Court had an issue when this affordable housing levy came in, because there was no legislation in place. As a result of this ruling by the High Court that we have this Bill, so that there is ... view
• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I believe as soon as the law is passed, there will be regulation in place. view
• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Sorry, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. In fact, the Temporary Speaker who was before you is just next to me. I do not know why I had not seen. view
• 7 Mar 2024 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 Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am told that soon if the candidate running to be a governor is a man, the deputy will be a woman, the same to the President and vice versa. Some of us might have to ‘change’ our genders to qualify. view
• 7 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I believe as soon as the Bill is accented to, the regulation will be put in place to actualize it, so that those who really deserve to benefit they benefit. In the past, the houses that were built by county councils were supposed to benefit the poor, but some of the rich benefited illegally. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I still beseech, especially the committee during the Committee of the Whole House; we bring amendments on the capping. Initially when the levy came through the Finance Bill, it was 3 per cent and capped at Kshs2,500 for ... view
