• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: It is staff of Parliament that provides the secretarial work. Our staff are the ones who are tabulating the results as we have done previously in many other national assignments. Therefore, this request came to the PSC, which is a body that collates or coordinates for the nominating institutions. When, for example, the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) sent their nominee, they sent it to the PSC. When we have an inter-religious council, they have two nominees in that panel, they sent it to the PSC. We have this other one for accountants, the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: The PSC is a coordinating body. The Chairperson of the PSC is the Speaker of the National Assembly. It is important that we separate our issues. Sometimes we may not agree with the National Assembly on many things and I have said all those things here on this Floor. However, it is also important to understand that he has another role. Also, in that PSC, there are six Senators. The Vice-Chairperson of Speaker Moses Wetangula is none other than Sen. Joyce Korir, who is seated here. If, by the way, for whatever reason, that letter came in and it was ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: I happen to have some of the submissions that our colleagues have made. I have shared in the official WhatsApp group of the Senate Business Committee (SBC) the letter from PSC to all the Houses. That letter is written by Mr. Nyegenye, the Clerk of the Senate. The National Assembly could equally have chosen to complain and say why is somebody from the Senate writing to us? This should have been about us alone. Surely, 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 ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: good people, this is just about the PSC and nothing about us and our differences as a House. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: This is a problem of these Nairobi people who grow kales or sukuma wiki in gunias on balconies. They do not understand the geography of Kenya. There is a lot of sugarcane in Kericho, my good friend, Sen. Sifuna. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Anyway, if that matter then has been properly explained to the House, then I am satisfied. It is because of the messages that I saw from many people saying there is a matter that has arisen in the House and nobody appears to be clear about it. If it has been explained to the satisfaction of my colleagues, I abandon that thought. Indeed, I agree with them that they needed to be in the know. I confess also to myself that it is only when I saw the Order Paper that I understood that there was such a Motion. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: I remember about two or three weeks ago being informed that there was going to be such an occurrence, but I had not known the way through which it was going to be processed. However, I am satisfied now if my colleagues have been explained to and they are now properly seized of the matter, especially Sen. Omtatah, who has caused us more than one year of delay. When we passed the initial law, it was Sen. Omtatah who went to court and said Parliament had allocated itself more than enough slots. Therefore, we reduced it to four The electronic ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: from the initial. I think now we have two. Initially, we had four because of this good man who is seated here. However, if he has come as he is, then it means that he is satisfied with what has been explained and what has been done now. With those many remarks, I urge that we give the IEBC Selection Panel these extra 14 days that they are asking for. I hope they give us competent Kenyans, men and women of great character and quality, who can serve this nation in a great way. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: There are many by-elections that we are awaiting. Members of political parties are looking forward to nominating people and participating in those campaigns. I have not done a campaign since 2022. You know we have campaigns coming up in two years. I may have forgotten how to address a crowd. I need to test my vocal cords somewhere either in Malava, which is in Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale’s county. I will rely on his wisdom to tell me which candidate to support for our party, the UDA. Once we find that candidate, we meet and square it out with Sen. ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Anyway, with those many remarks, I beg to urge my colleagues that we support this Motion. Thank you for this chance. view
