Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was nice to note that during the Grand Coalition Government, the number of deaths in Bungoma had started going down as exemplified, where in 2012, there were 10,288 deaths and the figures went down to 6,207 in 2013. From the time Jubilee took over,...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, over 7,000 deaths are recorded in Bungoma County in one year and that is a massive number. You will agree that if that were to be allowed to go on, the whole county would be wiped out after a few years. Does the Chairman agree that there...

Sen. Muthama Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add my voice and register my protest at the casual response we have received from the Chair with regard to this matter. Hon. Members, I am only going to take another three Members that are already listed here. Proceed,...

Sen. Muthama Bw. Spika wa Muda, nashukuru kwa nafasi nzuri ili niweze nami kuchangia Hoja hii ya maana ambayo imeletwa na Mwenyekiti wa Elimu, Sen. Karaba. Maswala yaliyozungumziwa hapa na wenzangu yana uzito mkubwa sana. Kwa kweli ukiangalia, nchi inaelekea njia panda ikiwa inatafuta suluhu ya matatizo ya elimu ya...

Sen. Muthama Bw. Spika wa Mda, nakanyanga zulia, yule mtoto ninayewakilisha na ninasema ninapokula kiapo cha mwenyezi Mungu, asilimia 10 ya watu wa Machakos, watoto ambao wazazi wao walinituma hapa wanasomea chini ya miti. Kuwe jua au mvua, anapata taabu pale. Ni ile ile serikali iliyonipatia hili zulia imeniwekea maji...

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You led the Plenary up to Charge No.6 and then there was an intervention by Sen. Wamatangi. You did not continue from Charge No.7 to No.10.

Sen. Muthama On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The document that the witness is being referred to by the Counsel has page 266 (a) and 266 (b) . Could he clarify which one he is referring him to so that we can read from the same page?

Sen. Muthama Mr. Speaker Sir, I want to raise one issue. It involves the squandering of Kshs352,976,913 and another Kshs70 million. This brings a total of Kshs422,976,913 million. There is a ruling that was given by a Judge recently where he said a person cannot pluck an amount of money...

Order, Sen. Muthama! Your time is up. Sen. Muthama Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am very touched. I beg to support.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I would like to support The Micro and Small Enterprises (Amendment) Bill, (Senate Bill No.12 of 2015) . I would like to thank Sen. Wamatangi for coming up with this amendment because it captures a critical...

are talking of being a middle income country by 2030. If we do not carry all these people on board and harness all parts of our society then it will be difficult for us to achieve the dreams we have.In defining or interpreting what a micro enterprise is, this particular...

because livestock keeping is the main way of life. However, the market is not organised. You will find someone in the bush trying to buy some livestock for sale, but the next day, he is absent. This is because there is no support. If they are organised and have capital...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support this Bill which seeks to amend an Act of Parliament regarding micro enterprises. This is The Micro and Small Enterprises (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.12 of 2015) . Before I make my contribution to this Bill, I congratulate my colleague, the...

women groups from one ward in Nyakach Constituency which had a total of Kshs93 million.

Order, Sen. Hassan! Kindly consult in a low tone.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, over a short period they had collected that much and they were wondering what to do with the money because they found that they could no longer absorb the money within one ward. I advised them to grow from table banking to a SACCO. Since I...

Order Senators. When I asked you to keep order, I did not mean that you walk out.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Hassan should give us peace. The month of Ramadhan is over and it does not mean that he becomes a little bit less religious. The next step from being a SACCO is to become a bank. Most of these banks we see in the world...

was created for them. People know that if you want to go to the informal sector to buy cheaper goods, they go to Mercado Cuidadela. Rather than buying things on the streets, they buy them in the market within proximity of each other. If you enter that market, you can...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I commend the efforts of my good friend, Sen. Wamatangi of Kiambu County for coming up with this initiative. For many years, this country has had good laws and Acts of Parliament. However, the biggest problem is to actualize some of them. That...

to come up with this amendment.What is required now by county governments as Sen. (Prof.) Anyang'-Nyong'o alluded to is vocational training for our young people who have left school looking for white collar jobs. It is incumbent upon the county governments to actualize Chapter 4 of the Constitution so that...

can handle most of the work done by them and earn money which will have a trickle- down effect in our economy. The flouting of World Bank directives on projects should not be entertained even if a project is being funded by two Governments. There must be some legal framework...

Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I also join my colleagues in supporting this Amendment Bill and congratulating Sen. Wamatangi who has told us how he provided tanks at a time when he did not have the benefit of wealth. God smiled upon him, and out of his tank donation activities, he...

categories that are being brought forward by Sen. Wamatangi could not have been taken care of under the existing Act. This is because the existing Act has a definition that attempts to define micro and small enterprises as enterprises whose annual turnover does not exceed Kshs500,000. I do not expect...

interests of hawkers. In as much we would like to go beyond reasonable doubt and define those micro businesses to be under the purview of its Authority, we need to be careful to ensure the Authority is constituted in a way that will ensure it is sensitive to the needs...
