• 27 Jul 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Standing Order No. 105 on responsibility for statement of fact. Could the Senator for Nandi help me here? When you ask me to go and sit in this board that is playing the executive role of administering funds, how will I oversight myself when I come to Nairobi? For example, I have been part of a mess in Kakamega County and when I come to Nairobi, I am expected to oversight that. Can he tell me how a Senator can have that dual function? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I join the Senate Majority Leader in registering our disapproval and disappointment of this unbecoming behaviour. There is the Powers and Privileges Act, which allows a Cabinet Secretary to fail to honour this kind of invitation. The condition is clear that it is only ‘with the leave of the President’. The Minister for Labour and Social Protection remembered that, she informed the SBC and that was okay. We do not care that Hon. (Dr.) Mutua and Hon. Nakhumicha are greenhorns in serving the Executive and have never found their way into this ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also congratulate these two athletes in line with what the President started last time. He recently congratulated them. In fact, that might have contributed to the young lady breaking her own record. Similarly, Ferdinand Omanyala, set a record of 9.92 metres, the first Kenyan ever to win a Diamond League at 100 metres. These young people are a very good example to our youth. It is starting to look like when youth talk about being recognised, they want to be recognised because of their role in politics. These two young people are teaching our ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of drugs, Sen. Cherarkey has been strong on doping, but the biggest threat these children face now is not the drugs they are given. However, because of their success, drug peddlers get access to them and they become vegetables. We have to encourage our youth to spend their pastime like these two youths instead of pursuing bhang, cocaine, heroin and others too. I congratulate those young people and I wish them well. There is a village in Nandi called Kabirirsang. They are my neighbours. I have never understood this village. I was talking to ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and so on until Omanyala defeated Americans and Jamaicans. I had been given to think that Americans and Jamaicans are supposed to be the ones winning 100 metres, but Omanyala disapproved me. There is a need for us to do a bit of science and study what happens at Kabirirsang. In the absence of that kind of study, I encourage the Miji Kenda of Mombasa that besides going to the gym and trying to exercise, they should also try and marry in Nandi so that they can get the breed of runners. I do not have anybody ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know the respect that I have for debate and Sen. Mumma is a very well-informed lawyer. You could help the drafter of this Bill if you could expound a little bit just in two or three minutes, why you are uncomfortable with the Cabinet Secretary drawing the rules and regulations. My understanding is that the drafter is perfectly in order. You and the Leader of Majority are wrong for the reason that the law that is being drafted is a national law. Having drafted a national law, if there are – in fact, there should ... view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is what we call debate. Not the shouting that you normally see at the beginning of the Sitting and walk-outs and so on. When we listen to each other like this, it helps us to improve our understanding and probably change our minds. However, as for the issue of the “bull fighter” I have absolutely taken no offence because as my kid sister, she is just expressing her love for her elder brother. In our community, the name “bull fighter” is a big honour. Thank you. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a small reminder, if you could help us. We were looking for the opportunity to comment on these two important Statements. I do not know if you can accommodate us in the limited time that you have. view
• 25 Jul 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I laud the Senator for Nandi on the issue he has raised. More people are resorting to using online shopping and transfer of funds and so forth. When the answer comes, could it not limit itself to what Naivas is doing? It should go further and tell us whether Naivas and all other online markets are going to move their technology to the current cutting-edge technologies. The one we are using is outdated where your card is swiped and you are asked to key in your Personal Identification Number (PIN). It is old. The current ... view
