INSTITUTIONS DUE TO NON-PERFORMING LOANS

(Sen. Wahome Wamatinga, MP)

THAT AWARE THAT the high unemployment rate in Kenya has pushed many Kenyans to seek loans from Saccos, Microfinance Institutions and Banks to start Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to sustain their livelihoods; ………………./Motion

(No. Supp. 051)

THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 2023 (936)

NOTING THAT the youth in particular have invested in movable assets, including vehicles and motorcycles, to start business in the transport industry and most of them have signed up to the ride hailing apps including but not limited to Uber, Taxify, Bolt and Little cab;

COGNIZANT THAT the Banking Act 2015 CAP 488 does not provide for renegotiation on the loan repayment agreement whenever the business environment becomes unfavorable as a result of the high cost of living, lowered earnings from the App providers and high interest rates;

NOW THEREFORE the Senate urges the National Treasury and Economic Planning to come up with a policy framework to review the Banking Act in order to renegotiate the repayment terms of the loans and provide cushion for Kenyans with non-performing loans and prevent the loss of their movable assets.

(Resumption of debate interrupted on Wednesday, 14th June, 2023 – morning sitting) (Balance of time 1Hour 23 Minutes)

  1. 17. MOTION - DESIGNATION OF A MONTHLY CAR FREE DAY AND COUNTY

CAR FREE ZONES

(Sen. Crystal Asige, MP)

THAT AWARE THAT, Kenyans have a right to a clean and healthy environment pursuant to Article 42 of the Constitution;

NOTING THAT the National Climate Change Action Plan identifies transportation as the fourth largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions which if uncontrolled, will result to negative impact of climate change that will adversely affect millions of Kenyans;

CONCERNED THAT the number of private vehicles has significantly grown leading to increased road accidents, carbon emission and vehicle congestion costs which are in excess of Kshs. 100 billion in GDP per year;

NOW THEREFORE the Senate urges the Ministry of Roads and Transport, in collaboration with the Council of Governors, and the National Climate Change Council to;

i.) identify, publicize and execute suitable monthly car-free days and County car-free zones in urban areas;

ii.) provide affordable, safe and efficient public transport including but not limited to development of Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) in the urban areas;

………………./Motion

(No. Supp. 051)

  1. 18. MOTION - DEVELOPMENT OF A POLICY AND LAW FOR SOCIAL RISK

MANAGEMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS IN

KENYA

(Sen. Catherine Mumma, MP)

AWARE THAT the Constitution has entrenched a strong Bill of Rights in Chapter 4, which recognizes human rights including socio-economic rights and the principle of equality and non-discrimination;

FURTHER AWARE THAT Kenya lacks a policy for guiding the management of these Social Risks in the design and implementation of infrastructure projects;

CONCERNED THAT inadequate attention to social risks in the planning and implementation of development projects at both national and county levels makes them unacceptable and end up costing the taxpayer colossal sums of money in suits filed before the courts and tribunals by local communities and affected interest groups seeking protection from such social risks;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Senate resolves that:

  1. 1. The National and County Governments develop a Social Risk

Management Policy that outlines the standards, guidelines and procedures for guiding infrastructure and other development projects both at the national and county governments; and

  1. 2. The national executive establishes an independent multi-sectoral

agency under the authority of the Cabinet secretary in charge of Social Security and Protection to design a mechanism that can factor in the inclusion of Social Impact Assessments standards and monitor their implementation in infrastructure and other development projects in Kenya.

  1. 19. REPORT OF THE 146TH ASSEMBLY OF THE INTER – PARLIAMENTARY

UNION (IPU) AND RELATED MEETINGS HELD IN MANAMA, KINGDOM OF

BAHRAIN FROM 11TH TO 15TH MARCH, 2023.

(Sen. Kathuri Murungi, MP)

THAT, the Senate notes the Report of the 146th Assembly of the Inter- Parliamentary Union (IPU) and Related Meetings, held in Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain, from 11th to 15th March, 2023, laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday 2nd May, 2023.

  1. 20. MOTION – REGULATION OF ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES IN KENYA

(Sen. Catherine Mumma, MP)

THAT, AWARE THAT Section 68 (1) (b) of the Health Act, 2017 provides for interventions by the national government to reduce the use of tobacco and other addictive substances and to counter exposure of children and others to tobacco smoke, and Section 32 of the Tobacco Control Act, 2007 provides for the right of every person to a smoke free environment including the protection from exposure to second-hand smoke;

CONCERNED THAT, while the Tobacco Control Act, defines key terms and covers topics including, but not limited to, restrictions on public smoking, tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship, and packaging and labelling of tobacco products, Section 2 of the Act does not contemplate non tobacco products and therefore lacks restrictions on the use, advertising, promotion and sponsorship, or packaging and labelling of synthetic nicotine in the form of e-cigarettes resulting in the increase in popularity and consumption of e-cigarettes among the youth including minor children;

NOW THEREFORE, the Senate resolves that the Ministry of Health should urgently convene an all-inclusive stakeholder forum to:

  1. 1. Develop a national policy regulating e-cigarettes and all related

elements, including vape pens, e-liquids, flavors and their marketing and advertising in mainstream media as well as social media; and

  1. 2. Establish rules to govern the production, sale, advertising and

consumption of synthetic nicotine, and control the illicit trade of counterfeit products.
