Order, Sen. Nyamunga. You know what that means. I would like to draw your attention to Standing Order No.90 (1) which states as follows- “No Senator shall read a speech but a Senator may read short extracts from written and printed papers in support of an argument and may refresh...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not reading any notes because I was talking about a son of a friend of ours in Lang’ata.

I thought it is written on that piece of paper because you have been looking at it consistently since you started speaking.

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also concur with my colleagues on this Statement. As Sen. Wetangula said, this practice without regulations has opened many loopholes for shylocks to exploit our people and, more so, students. Majority of students today in universities and colleges have resorted to getting...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the old days we had a law called the Money Lenders Act. It was repealed and its contents consolidated in the Central Bank of Kenya Act. The point raised by the distinguished Sen. (Dr.) Milgo is so important and I enjoin colleagues who have spoken to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also concur with my colleagues on this Statement. As Sen. Wetangula said, this practice without regulations has opened many loopholes for shylocks to exploit our people and, more so, students. Majority of students today in universities and colleges have resorted to getting easy money...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity under Standing Order 47 (1) to bring to the attention of the House of the passing on of a former Member of Parliament, Hon. Fredrick Oduya Oprong‘. May 28, 2019 SENATE DEBATES 8

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the late Hon. Fredrick Oduya Oprong‘ was a Member of Parliament (MP) for the then Busia North constituency, which later became Teso Constituency. The passing on of hon. Oduya Oprong‘, is important because he is among the five living, now four left, Members of the First Parliament...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, may the good Lord rest his soul in eternal peace. May we all emulate the peace loving attitude and politics that the late hon. Oduya Oprong‘ practiced in this county. May we live to see that those who are still living in those days, for example, Nathan...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to talk. I got worried when you said; „we will finally have Sen. (Prof.) Kamar‟. I join you in welcoming the MCAs who are Members of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. This committee is often misunderstood. Most county...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also wish to join you in welcoming students from Miathene Boys High School, Meru County. It has become normal for people to be evicted haphazardly in this country. People develop land using their retirement money just for the Government to evict them....

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for protecting me. Land is an emotive issue in this country. Land being one of the economic resources, it is contentious. Unless there are laws and people who can protect others against losing their land--- That is the reason people felt that the...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Statement. I also wish to thank Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for bringing this Statement on behalf of the people of Makueni. There was someone who was given a job to do and did not...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this matter. I also wish to welcome the students from Our Lady of Consolata, Murang‟a County. The 100 per cent transition is not for pastoralists. The Government posts teachers to North Eastern, which shares a...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I agree with my colleagues that unless this issue is tackled by the Senate in an appropriate manner, then we will remain irrelevant. Last year, the National Assembly did an amendment to the Statutory Instruments Act of 2013, literally taking away all the...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support it with amendments. There was a proposal to reduce some money from counties in the last financial year. The fact is that the national Treasury has not revised the revenue collection...

Sen. Farhiya Mr. Speaker, sir, I wish to support Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. in terms of the parameters determined by the Cabinet Secretary. If we take this route, the same fate will befall counties and we will be killing them. I beg to support this Bill with amendments.

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Statement. Since I did not get an opportunity to welcome students from St. Theresa Tartar Girls‟ High School, I wish to join you in welcoming them. I advise them to have confidence, integrity and discipline,...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to support the Senator for Isiolo County and congratulate her for this Petition. How can 40,000 people be displaced through a Government action? That is violation of people‘s right. The trust land that was taken is in Isiolo County yet the...
