• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Perhaps it is different from what they watch on television. They realise that people can be orderly in this House. You know, the only clips that go out of this House are when Sen. Sifuna is breathing fire from his nostrils, or Sen. Cherarkey is not seated calm as he is this afternoon. This is how typically Parliament looks on a calm afternoon. However, I cannot assure you what will happen for the rest of the afternoon, because things boil up very quickly. I wish the students well as they pursue their studies. May they achieve all that they have ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to move the Motion on the Alteration of the Senate Calendar for Part IV of the Third Session - THAT, notwithstanding the Resolutions of the Senate made on 15th February, 2024 (approval of the Senate Calendar) and 19th August, 2024, (alteration of the Senate Calendar), pursuant to Standing Order No.32(4), the Senate resolves to further alter its Calendar (Regular Sessions) for the Third Session, 2024, in respect of Part IV, to – i. continue with regular sittings until Thursday, 31st October, 2024; ii. proceed for recess from 1st November, 2024; and, iii. ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: work and considerations that need to be made, we have had to reschedule it to the month of October. That being the case, then it means we have to redo our Calendar as has been proposed this afternoon. This is a fairly straightforward matter, but there are two things that I would wish to speak to. I did not get a chance to speak when Sen. Faki spoke earlier on the need for Members to show up in Committee sittings. I wish he had matched his word with his action by staying in the Chamber long enough. I must say ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am struggling to follow what Sen. Oketch Gicheru is trying to converse. I never whipped him to put up posters in Migori County. He told the people of Migori County that he wants to represent them in this House. Therefore, it cannot be my business to whip you, as a Member of the Senate, because I am a leader in this House and tell you to come for sittings. I was giving the example of Sen. (Dr.) Oburu, a fine gentleman and revered legislator, serving his seventh term in Parliament. Every afternoon, from 2.30 p.m. ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know what Sen. Oketch Gicheru has eaten before coming to the House. I am trying to address you and he is over-shouting. I cannot concentrate because of the noise he is making. 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
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want us to take time, look into the issues that are being raised and be fair to our country because it pays us extremely well. We are told many times that we are among the best- paid legislators on the planet Earth. Can we also deliver quality work? My good friend, Sen. M. Kajwang’, even as you expose the challenges that we have in the Republic, it goes beyond just pointing out to the maladies and the challenges that we are facing. Be fair to it. What you said this afternoon cannot remain on record; ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. M. Kajwang’ has not disputed the fact that I laid bare in the Senate this afternoon that he is misleading this House by claiming that the only labour that Kenya produces is housemaids. That is not a fact. view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: It is in the record. You did not speak of the percentage. You said, “only”. Where did you learn your English, Moses? ‘Only’ means 100 per cent. He is now trying to amend his statement because he knows that he has misled this House. That is not the point that I am trying to converse. I know for a fact that part of the reason the foreign remittance is high is because we have serious professionals that we have produced, from doctors to engineers, that are serving all over the world. view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude. I commend the Senators that are in the House this afternoon, including my friend, Sen. M. Kajwang’. This is the first time I have seen him stay for more than two hours in the House in this session of the Senate. I must commend him. If that is the spirit he wants to pursue in this Third Session, that is the Moses Kajwang’ I knew and have been with in the trenches of this House for the last three terms. With those very many remarks, I beg to move and request the ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank colleagues who have taken time to speak and support this Motion. A commitment has been made this afternoon by colleagues that they will try and attend these sessions every afternoon. They will debate, engage, choose to be informed and not spew ignorance or half truths. I appreciate the interest with which many of our colleagues have on the Government programmes of Kenya Kwanza. I would like to tell Sen. Moses Kajwang’ that he is looking for the information on Bilateral Labour Agreements in the wrong places. Such information as the jobs that the President ... view
