Thank you, Mr Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to make a few comments on the report of the Select Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds. In the last session, we had a joint committee. I am happy that during that session, we were not able to look...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the indulgence. RUTH CHEPNGÉTICH MARATHON RECORD AND KENYA’S SUPERB PERFORMANCE AT CHICAGO MARATHON Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1) to make a statement on an issue of general topical concern and national importance, namely: Ruth Chepng’etich’s incredible performance in...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was on Clause 19. I would like to continue thanking your office for the support through the Secretariat and also our colleagues in the National Assembly on this mediation version of the Sugar Bill of 2024. I would like to assure farmers, especially our...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. The last time I was on my feet, I was contributing on the report on the issue of National Assembly aamendments to the County Government's Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bills No.19 of 2024) . Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I make any further comments,...

Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to say that this is a mediated version of the report. From the onset, allow me to thank Justice Ogola Sewe, Justice John Chikati, and Justice Joseph Mung’are for not stopping the Housing Levy Fund. There was a matter in court,...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek some clarification. However, since yesterday we started with the word of the Lord, I would like to read to my brother, Eckomas Mutuse, Proverbs 12, verse 22. It says- “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have three questions. One, I need clarification on Section 14 on cultural gifts. For instance, some of us in our community when we respect you, we give you cows. Does it qualify within the meaning of Section 14? Number two, I have seen administration...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in observation, we did even allow state officers, a full-time governor to participate. This matter was decided in the Constitutional Petition No. 204 of 2019, where state officers were barred by Justice Eric Ogola.When you look at the issues on various grounds, for example, on the ground...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I would like to support the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget for this report. I agree with them that they should reject the amendments from the National Assembly. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I always get impressed by the Senate...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you need to protect me from the Senate Majority Leader. I just want to agree with my colleagues. In the history of this Parliament, no one can injunct Parliament. So, that aspect of an injunction of Parliament or court order before the National Assembly or the Senate...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The money that came to this country through foreign exchange earnings was Kshs15,966,000 in February, 2024, according to the Central Bank of Kenya. Since this is the highest foreign exchange earner to the Republic, my question is about labour attachés. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Prime Cabinet Secretary forgot to respond on my labour attaches. Apart from the agreements on labour immigration, whether our 52 consulates and embassies have attaches to assist, especially transiting Kenyans to new labour environments.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the directions that you have given, I agree with the Senate Majority Leader that this matter is very unique. It is uncharted territory because we are so used to impeachment of governors as we have done before. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need your guidance and...

Yes, I am directly translating from my Kalenjin mind so Members will have to bear with it. Justice should not only be done, but should be seen to be done. Some of us went to group of schools. The point is, the plenary process will allow Kenyans to follow whether...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your indulgence. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No 52 (1) to make a statement on an issue of general topical concern and national importance, namely; the complete shutdown of medical services in Nandi County due to the ongoing health workers' strike, starting from...

There are many factors and safeguards that this Constitution has put on State officers. One is the impeachment process, two is the vote of no confidence, three is the censure Motion, four is the recall. These are safeguards that the Constitution has provided to checkmate the elected officials or State...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for those guided directions. Those were general comments. I will now delve into serious issues on election offences. I was saying that when you are moving election results from one polling station to another, there can be stuffing of ballot papers. For example, you...

Madam Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move- THAT clause 13 of the Bill be amended –

Madam Temporary Speaker, I have a lot of respect for the Senator for Nandi. In 1969, a distinguished legislator called Tom Mboya met Kenyatta operatives and was told that he was living on borrowed time. Afterwards, he did not live long. So, I want a clarification on what exactly Senator...

Hon. Senators, I will now reorganize the Order Paper to defer Order Nos.12, 13, 14 15, 16 and 17 partly because the chairpersons of the respective committees are not here and partly because of quorum matters. I will now request the Clerk to call out Order No.20.

He can inform me. I am reliably informed that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has already done a raid in Kapsabet County Offices. We hope that with the ongoing investigation, we shall be able to be told who bears the greatest responsibility for the corruption allegations that we are...

He can inform me.

Thank you, Sen. Cherarkey, for the support. Sen. Osotsi, proceed. Anne Nderitu and deposited. We were moving from Jubilee to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). We need seamless movement.I am proposing that in the management of political parties, when I go to the website of this Regulation, we are amending...

Some corporations even sponsor candidates because of their interests. Even in counties, there are business people who sponsor candidates. So, how do we protect the public resources from abuse? Political parties are managed within the Republic of Kenya by establishing and replacing the IEBC. With those many remarks, I thank...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Cabinet Secretary for being here considering the former Cabinet Secretary never stepped in this House even after we sanctioned him. What are the current total pending bills by the national Government? Sometimes, we hear that roads have pending bills of Kshs700...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It cannot be a point of order, Senator for Nandi. Kindly, proceed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, while the issue that has been raised by Senate Majority Leader is of weighty concern, under the law, there is what we call, fair comment. It is...

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 the status of the National Agricultural and Rural Inclusive Growth Project (NARIGP) projects in Nandi County. In the Statement, the Committee should-

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am reading on behalf of the Chairperson, Sen. Moses Kajwang’, who is away on official parliamentary duties. We are enjoying a cordial relationship unlike what is happening in the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.56 (1) (b)...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I stand guided, through your secretariat, we normally table reports in which we give directions and recommendations. However, I am happy to try and do a summary version of each county. Thank you.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know what your secretariat or the legal department led by Dr. Okello was advising the Committee on Finance and Budget. This is because we already have a law that we had passed. The argument of the Committee on Finance and Budget should be...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on claims of grave mismanagement of employment, human resource, and payroll matters in Nandi County. In the Statement, the Committee should-

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will comment on the Statement of Sen. Richard Onyonka on the issue of ADC. I will also seek further clarification on this matter with regard to the acreage that is still with ADC because we are aware there was some in Nandi County and...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.106 on responsibility for statement of fact. Is it in order for Sen. Chute to allege tribalism and the issues that are within the EACC? Can he substantiate by tabling that evidence, so that we can be satisfied?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. Cherarkey, what is your point of order? Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order under Article 10 of the Constitution on National Values and Principles of Governance to allege that Mr. Kemei was given this position of Director General of CAK because he comes from...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, today, the Chairman of the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunities and Regional Integration is not cohesive at all. Article 57 of the Constitution of Kenya talks about older members of the society: It says:- “57. The State shall take measures to ensure the rights of...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I want to support this Motion and commend the Committee on Finance and Budget for their wonderful job, led by the party leader and the Chairman, Sen. Ali Roba, the great Senator of Mandera. Also, the Vice Chairperson, Sen. Tabitha Mutinda,...

lawyer; I did not say I am a senior advocate. I wish my brother would stand guided on matters of English.On the issue of consumer information, we must agree and ensure there is proper consumer information. We have technology. If the CAK is not comfortable with any product in the...
