"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to also oppose this Motion. Before I do so, may I join my fellow residents of Kajiado in mourning Hon. Janet. I live in Kajiado where she once represented us. I pray that the almighty God rests her soul in eternal peace. Coming back to the Senate Amendments, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLAC), I had an experience engaging with the Senate Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. As parliamentarians, we sought to have joint sittings and engage, since we are rich in legal minds. We were to come up with a piece of legislation that was to be as progressive as the 2010 Constitution. Shock on me, the Senate JLAC stayed away. We soldiered on and presented a master piece of legislation which upon presentation to them they described it, to say the least, as ignominious. I propose that my colleagues join JLAC in rejecting those amendments in totality because they do not deserve to see the light of day. In doing so, it is clear that the Senate is trying to carve its way to waters that the Constitution of Kenya 2010 does not permit them to navigate into. Money matters are matters of the National Assembly and must be so protected. I also want to hail the determination by the Supreme Court of Kenya, the apex court, for pronouncing itself and stating the obvious. The Constitution of Kenya has outlined functions for the two legislative Houses. The Bill that was to deal with the behaviour and engagement of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "Parliament was merely going a step further, as lawyers say, so that we have no avoidance of doubt that there is no conflict in the functions of the National Assembly and the Senate. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to share with you that I have never had an occasion, again, to share a forum with any committee of the Senate. I just tried to attend a Senate committee sitting this afternoon that had invited my county, Nyamira County. Believe you me, Senate is presiding over the strangulation of Nyamira County. That is their core business. When you hear that there is a county in this country with two county assemblies and speakers with clear illegalities, and yet the Senate is sitting there struggling to be given legislative authority over money matters, it is a shame. I want to agree with my brother from Kajiado Constituency, that this Senate is not the kind that our Constitution contemplated. We contemplated a Senate that would be hands on to have our health facilities function. We also contemplated a Senate that would ensure that early childhood education is provided with infrastructure and permanent and pensionable teachers. We foresaw a Senate that would functionalise our agricultural sector so that we are food secure and become an exporting country. We contemplated a Senate that would stick to its lane and remunerate people who work for them. However, we have a Senate where pilferage occurs from January to January and every other time. I am so disturbed that the Senate had the audacity to recommend that these amendments be brought before us. Let us put it where it belongs. Let us assert our legislative authority and keep the Senate to their tuff. With that, I yield after vehemently opposing and calling out the management and dysfunction in Nyamira County to quickly come to an end because I host the county. They are in my constituency. The theft is going on in my constituency. Let there be rule of law. I cannot stay in a constituency that has no lights when the county is collecting revenue, but not paying bills to the Kenya Power Company (KPC). This shame must be brought to an end. The Governor of Nyamira County and other governors, please, wake up! The Senator of Nyamira County and other Senators, please, functionalise our counties. We meant well for devolution, but you have brought shame to this republic. Keep off legislation on money matters. I yield."
