• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those are their deputies. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I may have lost the point by mentioning the deputies but let us stick to the issue that was raised. Sen. Seneta had a point that Committee Chairpersons and their deputies should take the work of the House seriously. Committee Chairpersons should ensure that their deputies are in the House, if they are unable to be in the House during Statement Hour. Who will consider the issues that Senators are raising when they go to the Committee? view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: He has withdrawn, but Sen. Sakaja is also out of order. He was doing so well until he did the ranking of seniority in the country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: The Speaker of the Senate comes third after the President and the Deputy President. He needs to amend that part. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for affording us this opportunity as centres to receive this progress report from a Committee that is considered to have done a sterling job up to this far. They have given us good visibility as a House. Citizens of this Republic can appreciate the good work that Senators do. I have a number of issues that I have continued to raise. I wish the Chair to listen to me specifically. This is because in your next update report, as you continue with this very important assignment, I have insisted that this report will not be ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an issue that is extremely important because as we focus on the COVID millionaires at Kenya Medical Supply Authority (KEMSA), we must also be reminded that our various localities; different counties where we come from, there are also small COVID-19 millionaires who instead of ensuring that our counties are properly kitted to fight this pandemic, maybe their business is to enrich themselves from the donations that have been given to the various counties. It is extremely shameful. I am moving on to my second point of the response that I want to get from this ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Therefore, what is it that has satisfied the Kenyan Government to a point that you are now beginning to discuss that we need to reopen our schools? I thought schools will be the last of all the public places that we are going to reopen. Let us discuss about church, mosques and places of entertainment because they are optional, but not our public institutions like schools especially for the young people. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Is it the case, as I have read today, that since KEMSA is stuck with dead stock of close to Kshs6 billion of all the masks that they bought at an inflated price and they are looking for somewhere to dump them, that is why they want to open schools, so that it is said that the Government of Kenya (GoK) has distributed free masks and somebody will have quickly solved the puzzle? Out of the theft that happened at KEMSA, they are now stuck with dead stock. Masks that were bought at Kshs1,000, right now, the prevailing price is ... view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: go back to our lives the way we know it. However, until such a point that we have information that is based and backed up by research and science that confirms to us that we are doing the right thing as a country, then it will be completely wrong of us as a House of Parliament to just allow Kenyans to continue to make these discussions. You cannot blame Kenyans. The reason why most Kenyans will debate these issues in places of entertainment, newspapers, and on Twitter is because that is the only platform they have. For us, we have ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support this Petition. This is a very important issue that these petitioners want this House to give attention to. This is because we pride ourselves as being an agricultural-based economy. Yet, due to the neglect and poor policies in the agricultural subsector, we import onions and tomatoes from Tanzania and maize from Uganda. Is this not a cause for alarm to those of us in leadership? I want to believe our colleagues who will get a chance to prosecute this Petition will not only give answers to the farmers, but must be able to ... view
