18 Oct 2023 in Senate:
If you go to a county like Kakamega because we are huge, we do huge projects but if you go to a small county like Isiolo, they hardly have money for development. So, there is wisdom in what Prof. Githu said and I support him that we should reduce counties to 10 and also reduce constituencies. The times when people used to say the place is too big is the time when we did not have good means of transport and communication. We are now moving into the modern world, there should be no fear. I second the Motion as ...

17 Oct 2023 in Senate:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hear you, but maybe you need to guide us slightly more. Our understanding is that before you are allowed to read a Statement, the Statement goes through due diligence. So even in the process of due diligence, the distinguished Senator was not able to convince the Secretariat, the Office of the Clerk that the information he was giving was not based on newspaper reporting and so on, how did the Statement come to be approved? If that is the case, then the Statement is not properly before the House or the Senator does not give sufficient ...

17 Oct 2023 in Senate:
Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise on Standing Order No.105. Did you hear the Senator of Siaya County confess to the criminal offence of corruption and further tell the House that he was actually a beneficiary of the proceeds of corruption of Chepkube coffee? Could he substantiate, and if he so cares, declare how much he made and surrender it to the farmers of Busia-Uganda and Busia- Kenya who lost millions of shillings? Failure to do this, he should do the honourable thing; resign and surrender to the nearest police station, preferably the Parliamentary police station. Madam Temporary Speaker, he is ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, Members of this House are not allowed to mislead the public or state falsehoods on the Floor. Did you hear the Senator for Siaya County say that footballers come from Nyanza?

Madam Temporary Speaker, may I remind him that Elijah Lidonde was not from Nyanza; he was from Ikolomani. Joe Kadenge was not from Nyanza; he was from Hamisi.

17 Oct 2023 in Senate:
Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. It is very unfortunate that we are where we are. As we witness a humanitarian crisis unfold in the Gaza, Middle East, purely for the reasons that you know, little did we know that we will also have a humanitarian crisis unfolding here at home in Mavoko. I want to thank Sen. Kavindu Muthama, the Mover and the Seconder, Sen. Sifuna. Sen. Wambua has spoken maturely. He has raised the issue for us that even as we uphold the rule of law, whereby we are obeying court orders, evictions must be done legally and with ...

17 Oct 2023 in Senate:
the Government side should hold hands with those in the opposition side when a matter requires we close ranks. The people who are perpetrators of this con game must be pursued to the logical conclusion and they are known. As I speak today, Boniface Sunguti Ichingwa, son of Ichingwa from Malinya has sent me a message here – that uncle, while you were away in Malinya, we slept in the rain. He had bought such a land and had put property there. A young person aged around 29, 30 or 31 years old. These are the people we are supposed ...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise again on Standing Order No.105 just like Sen. Sifuna. However, as I appealed this is not a Government or Opposition problem. We have this Motion because there is a humanitarian crisis. Even to ask the Senator of Kiambu to substantiate and to look like he is to blame.

Madam Temporary Speaker, if there is need for substantiation the police through a press release have just tabulated the names of the senior officers that the Senator of Kiambu is speaking to. They include the kind of players he is talking about.
