• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: He said it was on a light touch. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not know why Sen. Cherarkey is complaining, and the only time he goes to Kisumu County is when he is arrested and is being taken to the police station, unlike me, who is in Kisumu County every week. I would like to welcome our good colleagues and neighbours from Kisumu County Assembly. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would have taken offence if you had not allowed me this opportunity. In these days of memes, one of the famous memes on TikTok is a young man who is in a public van and ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: would have wished for more resources, but we have to live with certain realities. In fact, on that particular point, I would like to say that the Constitution did us in with that particular regard. If you read Article 217 of our Constitution on Division of Revenue, once every five years, and I think we shall be undertaking this exercise next year, which is an interesting experience and I would like Sen. Sifuna to fully participate when the time comes because it is one of the key eye openers for you as a senator when you participate in this exercise, ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: recess. They have no basis upon which to do their supplementary budget because we have not done the County Allocation of Revenue Act (CARA) for them to know what is their share of the national cake. It would have been completely unfair of us and we would have asked Sen. Sifuna because he knows how to stick to his guns. In fact, he loves opposing more than supporting things. We would have asked them to go there and insist on the Kshs400 billion and not listen to anything else, but are we helping our counties? It would have been our ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Otherwise, as it is today, we are shy on taking on county government officials and governors because they may quickly speak after us and say that we have not told them how much they are likely to receive this financial year. I request that if possible colleagues speak to this mediated version of the Bill today so that we conclude on it and embark on CARA. This is so that by next week, we can be done with this business and retreat to the villages with our chests held high, knowing that we have done our national duty and citizens ... view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, now that is a welcoming remark. You know, as a father of this House, you should know the trade of all your children. There are some for welcoming guests and there are others for other duties. Sen. Sifuna is for other duties. view
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: 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
• 27 Oct 2024 in Senate: I join my colleagues in welcoming this gracious team. I have listened to the resume of the work that they do, and I am particularly impressed in their pursuit of global health, particularly at this time in Kenya when we are having a conversation about the Universal Health Cover. It will be then important to listen to them on their conversations of what Kenya can do better. This is the second month of the rollout of UHC after this House passed four signature Bills that have anchored, perhaps, the most consequential national programme to have ever been rolled out since ... view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in welcoming these students from Kalyongwet Secondary School in Soin/Sigowet Sub- County, very close to my home. I hope in their visit to the Senate, they have an opportunity to learn about business as we transact it. They are lucky because this afternoon, they will get an opportunity that many visiting delegations do not get, to see us legislate and pass laws. We are about to do a Third Reading or vote on a mediated version of the Sugar Bill and these students come from a sugarcane growing area. I hope it will be ... view
• 24 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to speak about Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital, but I have been distracted by the very unnecessary attacks on a colleague by none other than hon. Boni Khalwale. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you cannot allow that to remain on record. On discussing a colleague, provisions are clearly provided for in our Standing Orders. If Sen. (Dr.) Boni Khalwale wanted to discuss the conduct of Sen. Jackson Mandago, it is provided for in our Standing Orders. Mr. Speaker, Sir, why are you allowing this to be a marketplace, where I can rise and begin to discuss anybody, including ... view
