• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the point raised by our Colleague, Sen. Kasanga, last week or the week before, seated on that Chair, Hon. Lusaka gave a ruling as to what amounts to a point of order. That if you feel that in the course of making their contribution or submissions, a particular Member has run afoul of the provisions of our Standing Orders, he first point out which particular Standing Order has been violated. I do not think there is a way in which Sen. Kasanga can accuse Sen. Cherargei of having ran afoul of any particular Standing Order. The ... view

• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Sen. Cherargei is a point of debate. It is one of the provisions through which somebody can leave office. If she feels that is an avenue that needs to be exploited, I believe she is now a very well-versed legislator of this House serving her fourth year and she knows that she can request to speak. During her contribution, she can then provide that avenue. However, it is unfair to interrupt a colleague with frivolous points of order that do not amount to points of order. view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You will remember when we were discussing the earlier Petition I mentioned that while the Constitution allows any citizen to petition any House of Parliament sometimes this line is a bit blurred. In my humble opinion, such are the petitions that should be considered at the various county assemblies. It is proper that we are discussing this when our colleague legislators from Nandi County Assembly are here. I know Nandi County Assembly because they are our good neighbours. Occasionally, I get a chance to tune in and watch debates going on in their view

• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Chamber. They have got very young, able and well-educated legislators. On many occasions I follow the kind of issues that they talk about. Such Petitions would not be finding their way into the Houses of Parliament if our county assemblies took it upon themselves to ensure that they dealt with them. On many occasions, there might be a blurred line in relationships between the county executive officers and the MCAs. When it comes to matters of principles such as this where a citizen of a particular county feels that he was unfairly treated by their county government, I believe the ... view

• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: exhaust the channels that are available before the county assemblies. It will take time because these are not matters that are properly defined. Maybe it is a challenge to us as legislators because we have not provided further legislation on the role of petitions and their place in Parliament and in the county assemblies. It is something that we can think about; what is it that we can legislate that will guide people to know, what is the kind of issue that you can petition a county assembly? What is better handled by the National Assembly? What is better handled ... view
• 7 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have two minutes thanks to the very unwelcomed intervention by Sen. M. Kajwang’. This is a serious issue. Inua Jamii is a revolutionary programme. Much as our country is not a socialist Republic, we have all these programmes which are meant to cushion the poor from the difficulties that we face because life does not present equal opportunities to all of us. This is one such programme. It is well thought-out and well- meaning. However, currently, in the way that it is being administered, these questions that have been raised by our colleague, ... view
