Sen. Farhiya Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also congratulate Sen. Mwaruma for bringing this Petition because there are always two sides of the same story. I also pass my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families; whether they were killed by the herders or otherwise because it has not been proven by...

Sen. Farhiya A thorough investigation should be done so that whoever is culpable is brought to book. Everybody should get fair justice. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for allowing me to contribute to this important Bill which should have been passed ages ago because of its importance. Now that it is here, let us give it service. It is great that we are now creating a legal framework to...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I also want to support my sister for bringing this issue of the airport and how it is supporting the LAPSET project. I want to add that the LAPSET project, according to plan, runs from Moyale all the...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this Petition. I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating the Senator for Isiolo. It is good to take care of issues in a proactive manner than wait for counties to lose money then start engaging on...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to ride on this Statement because these warms are in Wajir too. They are depleting animal pasture fields and affect all farmers keeping cows, goats, sheep and camels. I agree that it should be looked at as a...

Sen. Farhiya On a point of information, Mr. Speaker Sir.

Sen. Farhiya Mr. Speaker Sir, when any Kenyan is taxed in another country, whatever tax he pays in this country is normally deducted. That is what I want to inform him about because that is provided for in the Taxation Act. The Senate Majority Leader (Sen. Murkomen) : Mr. Speaker,...

Their shelf life.

It is not shelf life. I do not want to use the words “shelf life” because they have more issues to contribute. I just meant that the active period they have as athletes is at most 40 years. In fact, Mr. Eliud Kipchoge was being celebrated all over the world...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will be very brief. I beg to second this very important Motion. (Laughter) September 26, 2018 SENATE DEBATES 14

Sen. Farhiya Conclude. September 26, 2018 SENATE DEBATES 47 Sen. Farhiya Kenya is trying to industrialise. We have seen the first stock of petroleum products being exported to be refined, yet Kenya has a refinery in Mombasa, which probably needs repairs. We should have repaired it so that it creates...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to the Petroleum Bill. Reading the Bill, it continues to affirm the fact we have been stating here in the recent past on the importance of the Senate to protect counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill gives a...

With that, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support my colleagues who said that, for example, Uganda discovered oil sometime back, but they have not commercialised it- --

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to start by thanking the distinguished Senator for Bungoma County, Sen. Wetangula, for bringing this matter to this House for debate. Today, we are in a situation that once faced the country in 2008, when the...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance. I want to congratulate my colleague, Sen. Wetangula, for bringing such an important issue before this House this afternoon; the issue of the ballooning debt that has captured the attention of the nation. For the first time in this country,...

September 20, 2018 SENATE DEBATES 42

Maybe you need to move to the next microphone. Proceed and, please, summarize.

Madam Temporary Speaker, the point that I was trying to make is that the discussion that we need to have is; what is it that we shall do, as a country, in order to have more taxpayers instead of relying on salaried employees. That is the crux of the matter...

I know that my colleagues would also want to contribute. We must now read our Budget with a fine tooth-comb, so as to see some of the principles that are being proposed. For example, we have been told that the budget on security is huge because it is a strategic...

Wetangula, for bringing this matter to this House for debate. Today, we are in a situation that once faced the country in 2008, when the National Assembly...

The other important thing is that it must be able to levy taxes. We say that Kenya is sovereign because it has that ability. We have our judicial system which we must protect jealously, because that is the only recourse that the very members of society, who will be aggrieved...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to thank Sen. (Rev.) Waqo for bringing the plight of Ms. Sharon to the Floor of this House. There are a lot of killings that are associated with gender. Last week in Wajir, a small boy was slaughtered for defending his...

Sen. Farhiya Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. This is about gender parity. It is not about women. Right now, women are the ones who are disadvantaged. However, in the future, men could also be on the other side. Our Constitution demands two-thirds gender rule be...

Sen. Farhiya Madam Temporary Speaker, I apologise for discriminating. I also know that this is a responsible House and it will do the right thing in terms of passing the legislation. However, I wanted to make a clarification. We are not yet 33 per cent; we are 31 per cent...
