• 9 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the National Rating Bill (National Assembly Bill No.55 of 2022) be now read a Third Time. I request the Senator for Kisumu County to second. view
• 9 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move that the Houses of Parliament (Bicameral Relations) Bill, 2023 be now a Second Time. This is a very important Bill whose history we all know. Sometimes, around the year 2018, the Senate did something quite historic. The entire House folded and we walked hand-in-hand from these Chambers of Parliament, all the way to Milimani High Court. We had tried every known route of diplomacy to set normal relations between us and the National Assembly. For various reasons that are well known and documented, both within and without the precincts of Parliament, ... view
• 9 May 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, on many occasions I have said that if the relation was to be kept as is the case right now, where Speakers of both Houses consult and agree prior to the publication of any Bill on both Houses, although it is not the ideal situation because there have been occasional squabbles that a certain Bill has not gone for concurrence from either House, but, that is what we seek from this Bill. Considering we are doing this for posterity, we decided to draft and put this in a Bill, so that we document our relations, we agree ... view
• 9 May 2024 in Senate: us and the National Assembly then input that into their report and bring us the amendments. I expect a radical departure on what is proposed in this particular Bill. After that, we can meet with our colleagues of the National Assembly at the mediation stage and agree to something. If fine, then we should have a law that will guide this process. That way, this dispute will become something of the past and we would have behaved like a mature democracy as is expected of us. That is the context of this important Bill, which I will explain properly. Clause ... view
• 9 May 2024 in Senate: There are certain Bills which they hold the view that this is not even something for debate. They have listed a number of them including the annual County Allocation of Revenue Bill, which is something we do on both Houses, the Appropriation Bill, which is done in the National Assembly, the Finance Bill, any Bill that provides for taxation and revenue-raising powers of the national Government, and a Bill concerning county governments. Therefore, that is something, which I will request our Members of Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee to guide us appropriately, even as we make that decision. ... view
• 9 May 2024 in Senate: It is good that as I say this, I can see the chairperson of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is in the House with us this evening. Section 13 speaks on something that we have since seen, a practice that is properly evolving. We have had this challenge of a Member saying: “After my Bill was moved it went and gathered dust in the other House.” It speaks to the issue of the adoption of Bills where when you sponsor a Bill, you have to look for a co-sponsor in the other House; a practice that has already ... view
• 8 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Committee on Health for taking leadership on a very important national issue. Unfortunately, I think today is the 56th day and the country has been unable to find a solution. This issue of the doctor's strike is not a simple matter. I have taken time to try and be as neutral as I can and listen to what the governors are saying on issues of expenditure. Many of them forward to me clips of yours truly speaking here in the Senate and reminding our county governments to balance recurrent vis-a-vis development spend. ... view
• 8 May 2024 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 8 May 2024 in Senate: give their attention--- When all is said and done, a doctor is the only professional whose mistake cannot be accepted, and the world cannot bear. It means it is the difference between life and death. If a lawyer makes a professional mistake, what is the worst that can happen? A breach of contract? view
• 8 May 2024 in Senate: There is nothing. How can you die from a poorly drafted agreement? I do not want to say what I said on this Floor another time and I was discussed in all Law Society of Kenya (LSK) forums. We have to be very keen in this discussion. We must also appreciate what the national Government is telling us. We appreciate the fact that we are still at a debt strain level. Where 70 per cent of our revenue collections never leave Harambee Avenue. They pay debt immediately after they are collected. For every Kshs100 that you collect in taxes, we ... view
