• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it makes a lot of sense. However, there are certain positions that we had already taken as a House.

• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Number one, you understand that in scheduling of questions, we do it one week prior, at the very minimum. So, there is no Cabinet Secretary who can say they have been ambushed. Yesterday, we scheduled all the Questions of the Cabinet Secretaries that are supposed to appear. In fact, it is only that because we are going on recess. However, we gave them more than seven days. Previously, we had taken the position that the Cabinet Secretaries that are appearing before us should give their apology, notifying the House of their unavailability, seven days before as well, so that, as ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: I expect better from the Prime Cabinet Secretary, who is the coordinator of Government business, other than to write to Parliament two days before appearance. He needs to be better organized. I expect better from hon. Soipan and the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and National Treasury. If he is managing our finances the way he is managing our letters, then we are in a difficult situation as a country. You cannot write 24 hours before appearance to a House, especially the two Cabinet Secretaries who have previously served in Parliament. Hon. Soipan has been in Parliament for over ten years, ... view

• 29 May 2024 in Senate: I need not go on record because of the behind-the-scenes conversations lest somebody picks and uses them either for or against this House or the Selection Panel. This House has adults, so they understand what I mean. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are being asked to consider this Bill and give our views and thoughts to it. While I was moving the NADCO Report, I mentioned this Bill. Given that they arose out of a bipartisan process, even the consideration of amendments - there is nothing in our Standing Orders that bar any Member from bringing amendment to any Bill ... view

• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I choose to be informed because Sen. Cheptumo does not speak in vain. You have seen it is very useful information. Thank you for that information. I am referring to the second Clause of the Bill, which is about definitions. I was referring to this from my moving notes and part of it is amending already what is an Act of Parliament. That is why I referred to it as a section, but Sen.

• 29 May 2024 in Senate: is accurate. For purposes of moving this Bill, I will stick to the word ‘clause,’ so that it is clear before the various Members. The Bill also gives life to Article 88 of our Constitution recognizing that the IEBC is a commission with various roles, among them the delimitation of boundaries, which has been a matter of concern in the country. The country is in a place where it cannot conduct elections. It is a matter of grave national concern that for whatever reason, should there be a reason to warrant the conduct of an election, as it is today, ... view
