Cherarkey Samson K

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know you are finishing. However, under Standing Order No. 105, I do not know what the senior meant by saying that the CDF died because of this menace. I wish he rephrased and said: He died because he had visited there to fight cattle rustling...

Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This being the last day before we go for a short working recess in county visits, I want to say this is a very interesting Bill. However, from the onset, I oppose this Bill on only two fronts. Under Article 38 of...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the term ‘caucus’ is not defined in our Standing Orders. It is a meeting of like-minded individuals such as the Caucus of women Senators in this House. That is why he is laughing heartedly because he is leading a battalion. He knows the reason I do...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to stop there so that others can have a chance to contribute.

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House is a House of rules. Under Standing Order No. 97, Sen. Wambua had contributed to this matter. The Standing Orders should guide us. Why would he want to speak to the same matter? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you kindly listen to me under...

As I support this Bill, I would like to add my voice on particular matters starting with the delimitation of electoral units. You can see there that the Bill states –“Procedure for delimitation of electoral boundaries[The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) left the Chair] [The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Mumma) in the...

We cannot allow them to legislate us out of the work we are elected under the Constitution to do.On the issue of protected constituencies, I expected the NADCO--- I thank Sen. Wambua because he appeared before NADCO. I was denied the chance to appear before NADCO. I wanted to tell...

I do not need any information, please. My time is spent.

If Wafula Chebukati had been kidnapped, where would Kenya be now? We cannot allow this amendment from Azimio La Umoja, One Coalition Party. It cannot fly through our faces, and we must amend this. If the chair is not there, the commission should not function. Finally, on technology, we must...

Sen. Cherarkey, we are not in a funeral or that place that you are imagining. Respond on the Floor of this House.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I am well guided. What I am saying is that Azimio was part of it, so it is still part of the NADCO report. Sen. Onyonka said in the morning it was a Kenya Kwanza’s report. I am just saying a fact that already exists in Standing...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Wakili Sigei. I second this Motion. It has reached a point that we now need to clean up our Standing Orders. What guides this House is normally our Standing Orders, which, in essence, originated from the Constitution. I want to make three comments to...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I would have expected even Sen. Sifuna to take note that I have worn an orange tie. Therefore, as the Secretary-General of the ODM, he should at least be fair today. I do not know what we need in our Standing...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am giving him instant justice, the way he does. We need to be careful on this issue of public participation. I was using the Kiambu case in 2013 where they did a Public Finance Bill without public participation. The courts have made themselves clear. How...

It is an office akin to the Auditor-General. However, within that office, they can employ other officers to help that officer. In my view, the holder of the principal office should be someone who has the sort of experience that would accord with the office that they hold.
