• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: commits an offense and shall be liable upon conviction to a fine not exceeding one million shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or both." I hope the Committee can move away from this. I have said times without number that, unfortunately, at the State Law Office or here in Parliament, people copy-paste certain sections of the law into Bills without reflection. It is an abuse of our legislative mandate as parliamentarians to pass such a law. As a legislator, you are aware of the money involved in gambling. If tomorrow I opened a casino on ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: It is not about saying. I do not serve in committees. It is you, the Members, who serve in committees. I want reports of committees amending those provisions, which I will support. It is unfair that you have the Principal Secretary (PS) for the National Treasury a representative of the Attorney-General. These are people who think in a particular way, facing off against one individual to represent the interests of counties. This is not fair. We are failing in our duty as a Senate. As a Committee, you have a responsibility to go through a legislation such as this. I ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I beg to move and request the Senator for Nandi, Sen. Cherarkey, who probably knows what an aviator site is because he is younger than me, to second. view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of my colleague Senators, I welcome our good friends and neighbours from their country of Uganda, our largest trading partner as a country. They are our important neighbours that we have enjoyed a good neighbourly relationship for the last many years. 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
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my sincere hope that we shall continue to build on this relationship, strengthen it and make it better even for the greater realization of the objectives of both nations. I hope that our colleague Members of Parliament from Uganda will find time to interact with many Senators that are here. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the unfortunate thing is that unless you are a sportsperson, there is no other formula for interacting with our colleagues Members of Parliament from the other East African countries. Therefore, I know people such as Sen. Maanzo who play no known sport ... view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the Senate, today, Tuesday, 16th April, 2024- view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, sir. I join my colleagues who are expressing their views on various Statements that have been shared. I am particularly curious about the Statement by Sen. Samson Cherarkey. I join him in congratulating our athletes who did extremely well in keeping up with our tradition as a powerhouse in athletics. view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: I know that the Members of Parliament from Uganda are still in the House, Madam Temporary Speaker. Uganda has been threatening to take this mantle from us. However, we are one people. Therefore, it is not a big concern to us. However, I congratulate Madam Helen Obiri for a stellar performance in Boston. She won the title alongside Edna Kiplagat and the lady who finished second whose name skips my mind. view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Yes, Sharon. I am also concerned just like Sen. Mungatana about that incident in China. However, as a sportsman, I know that anything is possible in sports. Therefore, I do not agree with his sentiments about how a Chinese can beat Kenyans. If Aston Villa can beat Arsenal, immediately after Liverpool has lost, when they are supposed to be gunning for the title, then even a Chinese can beat a Kenyan. Nothing is impossible in sports. Therefore, Sen. Mungatana, many odd things happen in sports many times. Therefore, it is not necessarily the case that those Kenyans who were defeated ... view
• 16 Apr 2024 in Senate: Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, is to agree with Sen. Cherarkey. We need elections in Athletics Kenya as soon as yesterday as the courts directed. Kenya is preparing to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. There is a lot of confusion. I wish that the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts, Hon. Ababu, could come out a bit more clearly with a roadmap. Have a meeting with all these stakeholders, together with the athletes, and the officials. Sit down and agree on the way forward. Sports cannot be relegated to be just another industry that is performing dismally ... view
