• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the House, I do join you to welcome this visiting delegation from the Institute of Economic Affairs. I have noted in the past that this is one of the institutions that continue to regularly send their critiques and analysis of Bills that are before this House, especially on economic matters. When I served in the Committee on Finance and Budget, I used to look forward to the analysis of the Division of Revenue Act (DORA,) County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) and so many other Bills, especially during the Annual Budget review ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the very well-reasoned-out, Communication and update to the House. Just by way of notice, this matter has come up at the Senate Business Committee (SBC). Senators were concerned about what happened to this very important Motion that we carried the country with when the Senate made discussions. The clarification I am seeking from you is in regard to Standing Order No.225(2) which states- view

• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know you have expanded this further and allowed the Chairpersons of the various Committees to provide that report to the Senate.

• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to second this Bill. This is an important piece of legislation. In fact, it is personal to me because after every party nomination for the last two elections in my county, both in 2017 and 2022, there is normally a demonstration against the Senator. As the senior-most leader from the county, every time there is a party list that does not include members of the Person with Disabilities (PWD) community or the marginalized, they keep asking, and justifiably so. In fact, there is a time that they staged almost near a hunger strike ... view
• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Article 177(1)(C) of our Constitution and ensuring that we finally settle this matter so that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) can no longer have the latitude with which to make the determination and leave out certain sections of what would alternatively be.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you read Article 177(1)(C) - I want to refer to it before even going into the Bill - you will understand the reasoning behind the drafters of our Constitution. It states- view

• 29 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is clear, that there is no group that has been ranked higher than the other, of the three groups that are described. It is also abundantly clear, that none of this group should be left out. Therefore, I do not know where the IEBC got this idea that in every County Assembly, they normally pick two out of three, such that you will find in certain counties, they will pick the marginalized group and the youth, leaving out the PWD, or pick out PWD and the youth, leaving out the marginalized groups or members of the ... view
