• 6 May 2025 in Senate: office, and we shared a cup of tea; little did I know that it would be the last time we met with Sir Charles, as we fondly called him. Therefore, I extend my pole to his constituents, friends and loved ones. I pray for a speedy resolution of the investigations into the heinous act that led to his untimely demise. Lastly, many Members have addressed the security concerns faced by both parliamentarians and the public. Members should not be embarrassed to advocate for better protection. The work we do today is not easy. The way we vote and the decisions ... view
• 6 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a concern with regards to your first Communication on referral back to Parliament on the Conflict of Interest Bill by the President. This is the second time in the history of the Senate that we are having a Bill referred back. To the best of my reconciliation, the first one was very contested, especially on the procedure and how it was handled. I appreciate that we have since further amended our Standing Orders and provided for a properly laid out procedure of how the House should treat this matter, both in the affirmative and opposite ... view
• 6 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this process has statutory timelines without which the matter will be considered to have been considered by the House either way. I know you have guided in your Communication and even given the exact date by which the Committee needs to report back to the House on the Bill so that we take a decision, either in agreement with them or against. I appeal that this be taken into great consideration by Members of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. Sadly, we had a situation towards the end of the Session in handling a ... view
• 6 May 2025 in Senate: Therefore, I want to request that Members of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, fully aware of this provision, guide the House into making a decision whichever way, whether in agreement or disagreement with the Memorandum, within the provided timelines. Otherwise, it will be a very bad reflection of us, as a House. Later on, history will show that on such a momentous occasion, a Bill was referred back to us for the second time after many years as you can recall where we were knocked out by a technicality. view
• 6 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I felt that is important. I can see the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights is in the House together with the membership. It is important that that emphasis is laid. view
• 6 May 2025 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 6 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, please indulge me. This is even a more weighty issue. view
• 6 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are aware that there is the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill that is currently undergoing public participation by our colleagues in the National Assembly. I would wish to know whether you jointly resolved the issue of public participation, the nature of the Bill and how it is to be treated with your counterpart, the Speaker of the National Assembly, given the fact that as it is today, the way the Bill is fashioned, it includes provisions that affect our operations as the Senate, yet the Senate is not involved in the public participation exercise. view
• 6 May 2025 in Senate: If you have followed the debates across the country, while there is a very good presentation by the staff and the technical team from the National Assembly on the roles and importance of the National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG- CDF), nothing is being said about the Senate Oversight Fund. view
• 6 May 2025 in Senate: I have seen, with a lot of trouble, members of the public struggling to understand the purpose of the Senate Oversight Fund, but there is nobody from the Senate who view
