• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: (c). by inserting the words “and the Council of County Governors.” immediately after the words “Boundaries Commission” in the re-numbered sub-clause (2). Rationale is that this is an important amendment to include Council of Governors (CoG) as body to be consulted by Cabinet Secretary in coming up with the regulations. Counter boundaries are within counties which are manned by the CoG. As such, it will be important to have the council consulted in coming up with regulations as they are integral stakeholders. I ask members to support the amendment. view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary a question.

It is only in this financial year that the funds were released, but they were partly released. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I ask the Cabinet Secretary the question, the situation in the libraries is pathetic. Most of the libraries in the counties are not well equipped and ... view

• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank my friend, Sen. Cherarkey, for giving me that kind of title. I think he is in a very good place and I hope to meet that standard.
