• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of my colleagues here in the Senate, I welcome these students of Elgon View College in Kisii County. Sen. Onyonka was with us early in the morning. I guess he is still trying to make his way back, but as a good neighbour, because Kisii is the immediate county next to us in Kericho, I wish them a good stay here in the Senate. May they find the knowledge and wisdom that they have come to seek in this House because I know it is present in abundance. I know that we have one of ... view

• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.57(1) to present the business of the Senate for the week commencing Tuesday, 26th November, 2024. Ordinarily, Mr. Speaker, Sir, this statement is presented every Thursday. However, as Members are aware, you communicated to the House yesterday that we will have the State of the Nation Address tomorrow, where the President will be addressing both Houses of Parliament in the National Assembly Chamber. It, therefore, follows that this is our last day of sitting in this Chamber this week. Therefore, it is important to brief the House on the business for ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: No.53(1). From the foregoing, it is evident that we need to redouble our efforts to conclude the business before the Senate. I want to thank hon.

• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: I know that by practice, the minute the Mediation Committee tables their report, even before the passage of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, which is a subsequent to that Bill, county assemblies will have a rough idea of what to expect and how to plan their finances accordingly. I know it has taken long, but I am glad that finally, that this mediation exercise has been brought to an end and counties can plan, for the remainder of the financial year with a good mind. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my hope that Members of the Senate Standing Committee ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I have been here for the two days that this Bill has been on the Floor of the House, listening to colleague Senators speak about a very live topic in our country, presently. 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
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: You will recall what happened last weekend. For the very first time, we were told that the Archbishop Philip Anyolo had returned donations made to his church. From quotas close to the conversation, I have seen the Governor of Nairobi City County saying that he is still awaiting his donation back. I saw him say somewhere that when he inquired because they had said they had returned the donations; he was told that the “fundi”had already cut the material for the choir uniforms because the donation was for uniforms for the choir. So, these are the challenges. These are very ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: attention and applause. There is also the real world in the villages where we come from, where people tell us different things. As a legislator, sometimes it is difficult to know which world to react to because of the kind of instructions and the things that I see being said in the online space. I want to believe that the reason Sen. Mungatana spoke the way he did about this particular Bill, perhaps is a brief that he has from the people he represented in this House. These are men and women from Tana River who voted for him. They ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, maybe with the leave of your Office, it will be an opportune time to provide time for people to either think through and share the amendments before eventually taking a vote on this Bill, including calling for submissions from members of the public. I said this yesterday in my tweet, and this is accurate information. The report that is before the House bears me witness. There is no religious organization that sent in a memorandum on this Bill, and that is quite curious. I see people speaking very strongly. I had expected to see the Catholic and ... view
