Wambua Enoch Kiio

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The way Sen. Cheruiyot is laughing, I do not know what transpired between him and Sen. Sakaja, but it is very curious. It is curious that we should allow strangers to just walk into Parliament, meet our leadership and walk out. What is even more...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I spoke in defence of the people of Wajir. I never said anything wrong about them. I do not know--- I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also thank the Majority Leader for accepting to listen to input from Members on this matter.Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is...

Stop Bwana. Stop it! (Laughter) Sen. Abass, what is your point of order?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me conclude by saying this. These governors--- (Loud consultations)

Is it that serious?

No, we cannot behave this way. Gentleman, we cannot behave this way. Colleagues, we cannot behave this way. We cannot do this. (Loud consultations) Order. Sen. Abass, I order you to leave the Chamber immediately for the remainder of the day. (Loud consultations)

Senator for Nairobi City County. (Loud consultations)

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me conclude. There is a serious concern on the matter of the funds that the governors have been put in charge of. My point is made. Senate Majority Leader, please, withdraw the Bill. Let us retreat and have a conversation about this Bill. At a later...

You saw what she did. You have just seen the gestures that she has made. That makes it even worse. However, if you insist that I persevere, I will. I bring to the attention of Sen. Cherarkey that when I personally approached the Clerks-at-the-Table on the matter of the live...

Madam Temporary Speaker, mine could be an expert opinion, if it is important. Again, it is very tough and difficult to rise on a matter that perhaps you have pronounced yourself on.

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question stems from the training of the licensed sport technical personnel by the Kenya Academy of Sports. According to the response by the Cabinet Secretary, I see serious disparities in the identification and training of these personnel. I will just give an example....

Why is he heckling?

That is what I demonstrated a few minutes ago when the Cabinet Secretary gave misleading information about the number of sporting activities that have happened for the last 40 years. Just by a click of a button, I was able to identify that this is misinformation. That is what AI...

Thank you. That is important information. You may proceed, Sen. Eddy.

Madam Temporary Speaker, as Sen. Eddy said and you have also alluded to, these are very important conversations. He has said that the President, His Excellency Dr. William Ruto was the first African Head of State to be hosted by an American President in the last eight years. Now, I...

Go ahead and inform him; he has accepted. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker.

River has the capacity that enables him to comprehend things. Now, here comes a computer or a machine that then simulates the Senator.What is more, it can simulate problem-solving and decision-making. In areas where I think I am creative, it can even simulate me at par. What is scarier is...

Madam Temporary Speaker, today I had the opportunity to move a Motion on the report on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and was very sure that the whole world was following what we were doing, because we were doing a good job. There were disruptions, on the screens inside the Chamber and...

You saw what she did. You have just seen the gestures that she has made. That makes it even worse. However, if you insist that I persevere, I will. I bring to the attention of Sen. Cherarkey that when I personally approached the Clerks-at-the-Table on the matter of the live...

Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue is properly rested. Perhaps then the Commissioner, because he is seated with us here, the only thing that he can do for the benefit of all of us, because these are not decorations, there is a reason why these screens have been mounted. The Commissioner...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to join my colleagues in passing my condolences to the family of the late Sen. Daniel Karaba Mwalimu and to the people of Kirinyaga for losing a leader. I may not have had an opportunity to personally interact with Sen. Daniel Karaba....

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, two quick comments. First is on the Statement by Sen. Kibwana on the matter of Nairobi Hospital. I have listened to my colleagues and I must say this and say it as plainly as it can get. It is true that the President of the Republic...

the conflict in Nairobi Hospital. Is it in order for him to politicize and bring other aspects, just to shield away and shadow out Nairobi Hospital? (Loud consultations)

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to make some brief comment on the Statement raised by Sen. John Kinyua in regards to the issue of Lariak Forest, which is approximately 7,500 hectares and a breeding ground for elephants. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Statement...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to first make a comment on the statement issued by the Senator of Tana River, Sen. Mungatana, my neighbour. The issue of corruption in county governments has really become of serious concern, not just to this House, but to every Kenyan everywhere. I...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries on a matter of nationwide concern regarding the use of emergency funds by county governments to purchase seeds for residents in Arid and Semi-Arid...

(Loud consultations)

mambo ya afya kwa ile hospitali, ili wapewe mwili au asamehewe bill yake na kuchukua mwili na kulipa pole pole ama pengine asilipe kabisa.Sasa, tunataka iwe sheria. Isiwe mambo ya kupiga magoti, kuomba na kuwa na biashara tofauti. Nimesikia wengine wetu wakisema, wamekwenda hospitalini kutafuta mwili wa mpendwa aliyefariki na...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am grateful for this opportunity. I wish the Senator of Uasin Gishu was here to see how peacefully the county assembly members from his county are seated with the representatives from the County Assembly of Makueni. That is how things used to happen before Sen. Cheruiyot...

The one-minute debt to Sen. Wambua is over. Indeed, just to confirm what you said, the Governor of Bomet County declined to appear before the Senate committee. Besides that, there are other contempt proceedings of not only the committees but other courts out of corruption allegations. Sen. Khalwale, please proceed.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to make my contribution in support of this amendment. I start by

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for granting me this opportunity to also add my voice to the Public Audit (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.4 of 2024) . I will be very brief. I just want to limit myself to the issue captured in the Bill on repealing of...

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will need your guidance on this Question and maybe even the concurrence of our members, because it is a matter that we raised when we were experiencing serious drought in the country. Now, the situation has completely changed from drought to floods. I...

I see excitement from Sen. Mutinda and I do not know why. First things first and the leader of Government business in the House must listen to this. When Cabinet Secretaries appear before the Senate, they must be properly guided that they are not appearing before a committee. They are...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not my business to read the mood of the House because that is your work but clearly these questions have not been properly responded to. Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it possible for you to direct that the Cabinet Secretary goes and prepares herself properly before...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to join you and on behalf of my colleagues, welcome the students from Mama Ngina University College in Gatundu to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. They have made the right choice to visit the “Upper” House, especially at...

I thank you once again, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am asking this question on behalf of my colleague, Sen. Edwin Sifuna. I guess it is now the right time to say that for this purpose, mimi ndiye Sifuna. Why are Junior Secondary Schools (JSS) not autonomous and distinct from...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will ignore the remarks being made from across the aisle and I will proceed to do as directed by the chair. Yes, I have two supplementary questions. One is on the issue of the retooling of the heads of institutions, being called comprehensive primary schools....

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you to extend a warm welcome to the visiting delegation consisting of young people from across the country who are here on an internship programme. I encourage the young ones to take full advantage of their access to the Parliament of the Republic...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of the statement by the Senator for Kisii County, Sen. Onyonka, jointly with the comments on the statement made by Sen. Dullo. Let us face it, we are living in very dangerous times. It may look very fashionable today for an...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity that you have given me to also contribute to this Bill, the Culture Bill 2024, which has been sent to us from the National Assembly. From the onset, I must say it is a bill that perhaps should have been...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my leader has sought information, which is important. I, therefore, request that you give me more time if my time is up because I am spending this to educate my leader. This House and my leader should know that in the year 1820, there was a...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Nyamira is flowing very well, but he has twice made reference to four-legged cows. Could there be a three or two- legged cow somewhere? What are these four-legged cows that he is talking about? Thank you.
