Mogeni Erick Okongo

Sen. Nyamu, you may proceed.

Thank you, Sen. Omogeni. Proceed, Sen. Cherarkey.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move- THAT the Motion be amended by deleting the words- “County Allocation = (Baseline Allocation Ratio*Ksh.387.425 billion) + (Kshs2 billion shared equally among the identified counties) + { [(0.45*Population Index) + (0.35*Equal Share Index) + (0.12*Poverty Index) + (0.08*Geographical Size Index)] *Additional County...

Sen. M. Kajwang’, and for the Senators who will be speaking, remember we are discussing the amendment Motion.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I just wanted to inform my good friend, Senator for Homa Bay County, that the reason we have put Kshs387 billion as the baseline is to save eight counties that were going to lose money, a county that is at the risk of losing Kshs2.2 billion if...

Thank you, Waziri. I would like to ride on the Question by Sen. Chute and ask a supplementary question to Waziri. I begin by thanking you. Last time you came to Nyamira County, you visited two constituencies, West Mogirango and Kitutu. I would like to know whether the CS has...

Asante Bw. Naibu Spika. Nasimama kuunga mkono Taarifa iliyo wasilishwa na Sen. Eddy Oketch kuhusu visa vya ulaghai hasa katika benki ya Absa. Ninashangaa sana kwamba kama taifa tunapea benki leseni kufanya biashara na kulinda pesa ya wananchi wa Kenya, lakini wanarudi kuwalaghai na kuwaibia pesa. Itakuwaje mama kama huyo...

The Chair has no issue with that. It is you to accept to be informed. I have gone through the report. At some stage, the negligence is attributed to the fact that lead consultants were not called in to assist the team of doctors who were trying to save that...

I hope he will inform me on serious issues.

Thank you for that information, though you have quoted me out of context. If I got the recommendations of the Committee rightly, they are recommending that the family should engage in mediation with the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) . The Chairperson is in the room, if I have...

Yes, Senate Majority Leader, what is your point of order? December, they did not raise these issues. I want to urge my brothers from the Kisii region to also know that as a leader, the best you can do is to pitch for some of these things to happen in...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Cheruiyot should not---

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all--- (Loud consultations)

that continue? We are the people’s representatives. That is why they come here every day. Ask yourself why they do not go to picket at the bus stop. They come to picket here because they know that the people’s representatives can find a solution. Those people are from our counties....

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. With regard to that Order, we had had a discussion with the Senate Majority Leader and the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget to allow that we do further consultation before that Motion is moved. I am saying so...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a small matter for which I seek your guidance. It touches on the work of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. I believe on 15th May, this House did pass a resolution on a progress report that was tabled before this House by that...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a law we passed in this House that I will seek we review. We said if one is an elected MP, he should not attend continuous legal education for lawyers. The way Sen, Cherarkey is conducting himself in this House, we may...

One, the resolutions as passed by this House must be communicated to the County Assembly of Nyamira and that must be done within the next three days. Secondly, pursuant to the resolution, the Committee was supposed to visit Nyamira County Assembly. It did not indicate that Nyamira County Assembly was...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have made inquiry from the County Assembly of Nyamira, and confirmed that these resolutions have not been communicated to the County Assembly of Nyamira, so that we can have a follow-up on the implementation. To my surprise, I have received information just this afternoon that the...

active cooperative society is Vision Point, led by a mzee I consider like a father, as he was my father’s agemate. He has continued to provide leadership to local farmers. His name is Mzee Menge. Perhaps, Sen. Cheruiyot knows him.Mzee Menge has been a dedicated farmer, always striving to inspire...

Thank you, for informing me. That will be a good middle ground, if we say ‘through a competitive process,’ so that an advert is placed in the newspapers, Kenyans apply, and the one who is most qualified is offered the opportunity. Section 12 provides for the County Public Service Board...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to seek a clarification regarding the Communication that you had earlier made to the House touching on Sen. Gloria Orwoba. I wanted to bring it to the attention of your office--- Sen. Omogeni, we are now on comments on the statements that have been requested....

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am also speaking on behalf of the farmers in my county. Of my four constituencies in Nyamira County, in three of them, there are farmers who grow and sell coffee. That is North Mugirango, West Mugirango and Kitutu. North Mugirango neighbours my good friend, Sen. Cheruiyot....

Surely, Mr. Speaker, Sir, if those four counties benefited, for equity, for fairness, let us also benefit this time around. I am pleading with the President, if he is watching me, let him also remember the farmers from Nyamira, Kisii and Kericho counties. At least the farmers in Nandi do...

Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Hii Seneti ni Bunge la rekodi na Wakenya wanashuhudia Mswada huu na jinsi tunavyozungumza hapa kwenye runinga zao. Tunapaswa yale mambo ambayo tunazungumza hapa, yawe ni ya ukweli na tukiulizwa swali tunaweza kutetea. Ninataka kuuliza hoja ya nidhamu kwa rafiki yangu Seneta wa Embu. Amesema kwamba...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to also make my contribution on the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No. of 2025) . Madam Temporary Speaker, this is one of our most important undertakings as Senators to ensure that we truly protect devolution. Our Constitution is clear...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make my comments on the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 10 of 2025) . This Bill basically implements Article 218 (2) (b) of the Constitution on sharing of revenues between the national and the county governments...

heard you make remarks about some judges. Maybe some orders were issued earlier, but regarding the impeachment, no stay orders were issued.Secondly, I heard you tell the Chair that he should proceed to Nyamira and deal with this matter. If you read the report tabled on page 29, the Chair...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have great respect for my seniors, including Sen. Abass. I have read through the report. He made a remark to the effect that one group is controlled by a Governor and another group is controlled by a Senator. I have read the report that he has...

premises. If we allow that to happen, then it would have been better to remain with the constitution that preceded 2010.The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 was supposed to address impunity. What impunity can we talk of as a Senate, other than a situation where a county assembly holds sittings outside...

Thank you, Mr Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also make my contribution to the statements issued by the respective chairpersons. However, there is one that has caught my attention. While contributing, I heard Sen. Cherarkey state that the approval of nominees to IEBC should be processed by...

eulogize the late Pheroze Nowrojee who wrote articles. I think the last was penned last year.Madam Temporary Speaker, I am told from those articles, the newspapers pay Kshs100,000 per article. Now, if this thing is well regulated and you have somebody who is talented in penning articles to these newspapers,...
