Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to comment on the fire incident at Toi Market. My heart goes out to at least four families who lost their loved ones and many Kenyans who are hustling to make a living. For those of us who are not opulent and flamboyant, we get...

Bi. Spika wa Muda, kwa ajili ya lugha ya Kiswahili, sanifu ingekuwa vyema, Sen. Faki kutumia “hazina ya usawa” badala ya “mfuko wa usawa.” Hii kwa sababu tunajua mfuko ni zile ambazo tunatumia kubeba pesa na yale mambo mengine. Itakuwa vyema akisema “hazina ya usawa” ndio Wakenya waweze kuelewa kwa...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I request that in future, when pupils and students visit the Public Gallery, they should not leave without being acknowledged. It is good for their experience here. Kindly talk to the Secretariat. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am proud of the Committee on Finance and Budget. Since the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I welcome the teachers and students of Kaputiei Secondary School, which is in Nandi County, Tinderet Constituency. I am happy that as they go for recess, they have an opportunity to see the proceedings of both Houses of Parliament; the National Assembly and the Senate....

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I applaud the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. I know it is one of the busiest committees.

Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for that guidance. I was to indicate, but it is important you did. I support and the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget Committee has done a good job. This Report is well captured. Apart from the Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC)...

Madam Temporary Speaker, there is what you call fair comment in a fair administration process. I am just making a general comment. I have not mentioned anybody's name, unless you know that person. Have I?

I leave that process there. However, for the benefit of the House, I would want to refer the House to Speaker Mate’s case on the decision of his removal as the Embu Speaker. If you read the principle of the High Court, it talks about such instances. Nonetheless, I stand...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish the two candidates well. I know the law says the President will appoint one. Of course, we hope to see those Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) members before this Committee. I support and ask the House to support too. I ask the SRC that if...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. The issue of land would not be complete without my input because where I come from, a man is defined by the land they own and women. If you are a real man, then in the context of the African...

Yes, she can.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the information from my sister was insufficient. However, I agree with different tribes and cultures. It is only in Nandi and Kisii that you have a woman-to-woman marriage. It is not Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) . It was a decision of the High Court...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the concerns and interests of the Parliamentary Service Commissioner, if you can recall when the issue of budget to committees--- Mr. Deputy Speaker, I wish I could capture your attention. While I appreciate --- I can multitask, Sen. Cherarkey. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir,...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, as I rise to second, I want to indicate to my Chairperson that there is no Cabinet in place, except for a few people who are there, at the moment. [The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) left the Chair] [The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Abdul Haji)...

I said very categorically, and you can check the HANSARD; that I support accountability. However, I do not support them running away with the mace. I think it is important that we put that into perspective. They should do it with vigour and enthusiasm. I hope in the course of...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the enthusiasm of the Commissioner in response, I need up to Tuesday so that I can provide information, not necessarily on PSC, but it is the supervising body. Mr. Temporary Speaker, the PSC procured the Old Mutual to provide insurance cover. So--- Sen....

No, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have not said the PSC spent. I will provide information on the issue of repairs and you will notice in my information that some of the repairs were incurred by the PSC themselves. So, what you will substantiate is the sum of the repairs...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is a senior person. I cautiously informed him because he is a man full of wisdom. Through the guidance of the Chair, we normally have sub-committees, especially when we meet county assemblies. Most likely, colleagues who have not signed this report were in...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. I want to comment on the statement by the Deputy Speaker, Sen. Kathuri Murungi, on the issue of the decision by the Meru High Court. As a legal practitioner, I was shocked. When you want to do Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) , the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It will interest you to know that the floodlight on my right is off. Therefore, it will affect the quality of transmission. Mr. Speaker, Sir, can I have your attention? Yes. It would be of interest to know that the floodlight on the right is...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order, Sen. Cherarkey? Madam Temporary Speaker, under the same Standing Order No. 89, with all due respect, it says ‘cannot be corrected’. Under Standing Order No.1, you have the power to correct that one vote instead of...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. What is your point of order, Sen. Cherarkey? Madam Temporary Speaker, we should not be emotive about anything and refer Members to the Powers and Privileges Committee just to look good in the eyes of the public. I am not protecting anybody...

Madam Temporary Speaker, in conclusion, we do not need to create a mountain out of an anthill. Let bygones be bygones and we move as a House under the broad-based ideology. I thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is understandable when you know it is approaching the weekend. I rise to support the Local Content Bill, 2023. The issue of extractive minerals and control of any natural resource anywhere across the world continues to evoke serious reservations, especially when the local communities...

Hon. Senators, both Sen. Eddie and Sen. Cherarkey, you are totally out of order. We are not here to weigh each other against how knowledgeable we are. Sen. Eddie, I want to believe that you are saying that on a light note. If you meant it, then you have to...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I would like to support the Public Transport (Motorcycle Regulation) Bill, 2023, because it is timely. Before I make a few comments, allow me to thank my colleagues for standing with me and offering support when I lost my elder brother, Mwalimu Alex Meli....

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity. I congratulate the Senate Majority and Minority leaders and my colleagues for resisting the temptation to go and hide, just like our colleagues have done. I would be somewhere in Kimondi Forest near Kapsabet running away from my...

Let us have Sen. Olekina and then, Sen. (Prof) Ojienda. country. Let us remain focused. What happened yesterday at Parliament was unfortunate. It should never have happened. It should not have happened!A few weeks ago, I remember one of my colleagues questioned the security systems within Parliament. It is good...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. In support of devolution, last year, counties got Kshs385 billion. I am happy that after mediation, we now have Kshs401 billion. What we need to do is ensure the National Assembly gets into the latest...
