Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Mediation Committee on the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 10 of 2025) laid on the table of the Senate on Friday, 27th June, 2025 and that pursuant to Article 113 (2) of...

I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to reply as I extend appreciation to the Senators who have contributed, considering DORA was extensively debated. There were a lot of interactions between the Committee and Members of the Senate, and it is nothing new in terms of engagement other...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I second this Motion, I will make a statement in support of the secondment. The House stands for protection of devolution. The devolved family comprises of 47 counties. The 47 counties have to function properly with some aspect of development as well as recurrent...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I move to reply. We have built consensus on this issue through various proposed amendments, a lot of discussions and several engagements with various Senators. We have also moved an amendment Motion that has been voted on. I believe that the Hon....

Thank you very much---

What is not adding up for me is that whereas the situation is extremely tense, there is a position of preconceived conviction before the investigation is completed. We need to go deeper into investigating. It is not adding up. We do not point fingers at you at every step along...

Next is Sen. Wambua.

Sen. Cherarkey, you have alluded to an allegation that he was a financier. We do not know what he was financing. Please, clarify.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The wisdom behind having a less controversial formula of sharing revenue amongst counties this time is informed by what preceded in the Third Senate; where there was a lot of controversy on the third basis of revenue sharing. As a result, a substantive number...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as a Senator coming from the region and an elder, this is a very embarrassing statement that even when I watched it, I could not get to its conclusion. I started asking myself, this is a leader demonstrating an unbecoming...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that guidance. Pursuant to Standing Order No.62 of the Senate Standing Orders, I beg to move- THAT, the Senate notes the Report of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on the Fourth Basis for Allocating the Share of National Revenue Among the Counties,...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to guide Sen. Osotsi that the numbers he is making reference to, he has to share with the House. The CRA based the allocation on Kshs417 billion as shareable revenue. The numbers he is making reference to are at Kshs405 billion. So, he needs...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I second. (Question proposed)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to move the following Motion- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on the County Governments (Additional Allocations) Cash Disbursement Schedule for the Financial Year 2024/2025 laid on the Table of the Senate on Tuesday, 27th...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to reply. I want to extend my appreciation to hon. Senators who have contributed to the Motion on this schedule. I Sen. Osotsi, what is your point of order? Take your seat, Sen. Roba.

Yes, you can give your point of order if you are given. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, mineral royalties are shared only on the basis of royalties collected by the Government. It is not on the basis of minerals that you know, the mining is taking place in your county. That...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to inform my colleague that the money being shared in the name of royalty will only happen through royalties collected by the Government in the stipulated rates. If the Government has no collection of raw minerals, being the mining that is...

Sen. Okongó Omogeni, I have listened to the intervention you have made. I would like to give the Chairperson of Standing Committee on Finance and Budget to give a comment, then I give a ruling considering the fact that we have had a kamukunji on this matter. (Sen. Cherarkey spoke...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Having listened to the input of my colleagues and the wisdom to consult more, I believe that there is no harm in us consulting. (Sen. Olekina consulted loudly) My brother, Sen. Olekina, is rudely interrupting me. I have just listened to my colleagues. There is...

They visited the referral hospital and small units within the town in terms of service provision. They also went to one of the sub-counties. They were able to engage and point out the gaps that were glaring within the health sector in our counties.I really want to applaud and encourage...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank my colleague for sharing that, but I want to reiterate that they made impromptu visits to smaller units while they were in the county. To qualify that, they did the invitation and the formal procedures were followed. However, once they are...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as my colleague has stated, this Senate is alive, our committees are alive and events are happening. These reports were filed on the Floor of the Senate. They were only able to be scheduled for reading today. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the events that are unfolding...

I want to inform Sen. Cherarkey so that he does not belabour responding to that issue. The point of contention is that when committee visits me as governor, I want a situation where a visit to my office does not look like it is the central theme of the committee...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. REPORT OF THE JOINT SITTING ON THE APPROVAL HEARING OF NOMINEES FOR APPOINTMENT TO THE CBK BOARD
