Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to comment on Sen. (Prof.) Ojienda’s request for a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration. Gangs have become a serious menace. The worst is when they appear at political rallies, creating uncertainty and risking injury to both leaders and...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. When the reports come to us from the Auditor-General, we then invite a governor to appear before the Senate Committee. When the invitation is not honoured for no proper reason, then the governor is summoned. Upon summoning, then the governor, if he or she...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the maxims of equity also say, he who comes to equity must come with clean hands. The fact that there was Kericho I and 2 was enough to send a message. It is a matter of public notoriety that the threshold is known it be two- thirds...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On the Presidential Address, there is what we call sovereign investment. The biggest investment the country can make is on the people of Kenya. The lives of the people of Kenya are very important. That is why health comes in very handy by making...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Bearing in mind that the world is now going organic and organic insecticides are very popular and in demand in the world now, what programmes does the Cabinet Secretary have for the future, so that we may capture this market and make sure that pyrethrum...

Mr. Speaker Sir I rise to ask the following Question to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum-

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for the effort he has made. He has clearly indicated that Makueni County does not have a budget on part of solar power. Recently, the President, while in Qatar, talked about power rationing and I believe he said that based on...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding the power outage, could the Cabinet Secretary clarify how long, on average, it takes to restore electricity supply? Specifically, at the junction of Muindi Mbingu Street and University Way. All the buildings and commercial enterprises have been without power since yesterday and up to now, supply...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask a supplementary question in relation to Dagoretti sub-county. For purposes of affordable housing, land has been compulsory acquired from residents who have not been compensated. Although some 99-year leases had not ended, that land has still been confiscated from residents of...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On the issue of public participation, I still want to go back to Dagoretti Sub-county. Is the Cabinet Secretary planning to do public participation with those people whose land is being acquired compulsorily for the Affordable Housing Programme?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to encourage Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Mumma, who are refined lawyers, to go to a constitutional court--- (An hon. Senator spoke off record) Sen. Mumma, yes, is a refined constitutional lawyer, to go to court - Sen. Khalwale can be a...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. Health is very important and if you travel around the country like when the Committee on Health travelled around the country, they found the standards in many hospitals run by either the national...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to comment on the Statement by Sen. Thang’wa. It is true that many of our citizens are stranded abroad. I recently brought a Statement in this House in relation to someone from Makueni County who was stranded and injured in the Middle East....

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The IPU is a very important organisation in the world. Just as Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale had observed, it could be useful in advising and guiding the many principles that Members of Parliament, all over Africa, and many other parts of the world could advise governments...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, could the Cabinet Secretary indicate the order followed to recognise communities because it happens after a community has come out fighting? Could he explain whether they have a programme, so that we know other than the Nubian Community, which other community is likely to be gazetted...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with your kind permission, I was the one on the Floor. That is the tribe I was forgetting, but I am aware that they are a number. I am sure Hon. Murkomen knows so that he can tell us from Wangazija, how many more are there.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As the Senator for Uasin Gishu familiarises himself--- (Sen. Mandago crossed the bar without bowing to the Chair) Sen. Mandago, you are out of order. You do not cross that way. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important matter. It is not only occurring...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute to this very important Motion. The young people in this country are very aggressive, and most of them aspire to have a big future. Unfortunately, the trouble we have now is worldwide, with young people and with opportunities. The idea...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will do this on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee of Delegated Legislation, the Hon. Sen. Gataya Mo Fire. Mr. Speaker, Sir, during the period under review, the Committee on Delegated Legislation held a total of 23 sittings, conducted post-publication scrutiny of eight...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the statement by Sen. Methu. Just a few days after the incident at Central Police Station, we witnessed a similar case in Mombasa. I am certain that there are many other unreported incidents from different parts of the country. We had...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With tremendous respect to the Cabinet Secretary and the senior learned friend, part (c) of the question is very specific. How many practical learning facilities, meaning science and ICT labs, are there across the country? Having an ICT or science practical laboratory means having a...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will comment on the request for a statement made by the Senator for Murang’a, Hon. Joe Nyutu. This is in relation to people suspected to have stolen pineapples in the Thika farms. This company has been assaulting people and, in some cases, death has...
