• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I like the fact that he pointed out the issue of infiltration that occurs during protests times. You may find certain gangs, which have been mobilized by people who have ulterior motives; they end up being used to 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
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: undermine the very reason for which citizens may want to protest. The assurance that has been given on the topic of how the police handled this particular matter is that the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) continues to carry out this investigation. The only question that we must ask is how much more time do they need before we can eventually get a report. In the Motion of the Senate that we passed here in June, we had proposed specific things that need to be done in this country, including a review of the standing orders of the police on ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: That is a journey that Kenya must travel. It is not easy because much as these figures are factual, they are there and we can confirm that inflation has dropped from 9.6 to 2.7 per cent; the true hallmark and the proper measure of all this will be the day an ordinary citizen breathes a sigh of relief and says I can feel that the burden is now lighter. Unfortunately, the President concedes in his speech that he knows that that is not the case, much as he is doing something about it. There are many topics that I can ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: testimonials that I have seen, for those who have registered to be brought into this programme, each time they have had a hospital admission, their bills have been sorted. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is extremely important because you know for a fact that many ordinary families are just one illness away from poverty. If you do not have a sufficient Government programme that covers people, especially during their times of illness, we can render so many families destitute. I want to challenge Senators to speak to their people, so that they appreciate and grow the numbers. It will be ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: appreciate and record that, especially once it is confirmed that is the case. The hospitals that provided services for citizens in October have since been paid. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are many things. I have only gone up to paragraph 34, but I have said, I have to be a good example so that we are able to conclude. For those who came late into the House, we explained the need to cover this between today, tomorrow morning and afternoon. This is to enable us to carry on with other very critical business that you have to consider before ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.111(1). I beg to move- THAT notwithstanding the resolution that we made here on 14th February, 2024, on the time allocated to each Senator to speak to such a Motion, on this particular Motion, we limit debate to 10 minutes per Senator. I had earlier explained the reasoning of the Senate Business Committee (SBC) behind that proposal. I mentioned this to the Leader of the Minority, who was present with us in that meeting. Therefore, I want to make that request: 10 minutes should be sufficient. I had one hour ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that Sen. Maanzo is a member of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. There is a new trend that is emerging where politicians are becoming click-bait addicts. They want to say things just to get likes on TikTok. Can Sen. Maanzo table before this House the report of their Committee and the recommendations that they made of this fertilizer issue because he is a member of that Committee and on how he voted, if it made to this House? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Sen. Maanzo, please, resume your seat. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Senator Makueni, who is a member of the Wiper Democratic Movement, a party under whose dispute – because the dispute that exists at Political Parties Liaison Committee (PPLC) is courtesy of your membership, not agreeing on who will represent them in the IEBC selection panel--- They have gone all the way to the Supreme Court. Therefore, you are the party that is causing us the delay in the constitution of IEBC. Sen. Maanzo, instead of addressing us, you and your party leader should settle the ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to appreciate colleagues who have taken the time to speak to this Motion and share their key highlights. That is the beauty of the mosaic called the Kenyan democracy. Some will see the good in what this administration is doing; others will see nothing good at all, which is part of our democracy. We must divide and celebrate it as it is. However, as we have been reminded many times, there are certain facts that there is nothing you can do about. There are things that you can debate. Anybody trying to ... view
• 26 Nov 2024 in Senate: subsidising consumption, which was the case in the previous administration, is lying to themselves. The beauty is that the citizens and the ordinary voters in the village can distinguish, and they know what is working and what is not working. The fact that this administration has avoided a sovereign default is something worth mentioning, that has not been celebrated enough times. If it was not for the prudent leadership of the President, chances are we might as well have defaulted as a country and faced grave consequences, far graver than the noise we hear and the statements sometimes generated out ... view
