Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have read the Statement by Sen. Wambua. While it is within his rights to request for this Statement, I just want to inform him that 99 per cent of his Statement is a matter of public record. If you follow the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) bi-weekly releases, there is a specific column for an update of how much revenue has been collected. Normally, it is between two weeks and eventually what has been collected in that particular month. It is within any Senator's right to seek such a Statement. Therefore, I will await the response ...

I am acutely aware that many of these are because they have statutory timelines that they have to observe, either Budget Policy Statement (BPS) within 14 days, and the like. Nonetheless, we celebrate the good work and effort of this Committee. With respect to Petitions, the Senate has received 12 Petitions that have been committed to respective Standing Committees pursuant to Standing Order No. 238(1). I urge the Committees to which Petitions have been committed to hasten consideration thereon. Statements are increasingly being sought pursuant to Standing Order No.53 and others issued pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1). I urge ...

avail themselves for that training. I know there is very crucial information that will be passed to Senators on generally your well-being as a human being, as Members of Parliament (MP) and, of course, many things from our intelligence service and financial reporting center. Over the years, with no exception of course except for this term of Parliament, we have had colleagues who have run into problems with how certain financial transactions have been handled. If they had listened to the wisdom of the people that carry out this training at the beginning of the term of Parliament, then they ...
