• 9 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is an honour and privilege for me to welcome our friends and fellow Africans from South Africa Republic of Eswatini. Welcome. I send you to give King Mswati III our greetings. Tell them that when you are being welcomed to the Senate, the Senator who was speaking does not come from the Nguni tribe of Eswatini. However, I come from the Nguni-like tribe of Kenya. We are the Bantus. When you migrated from Western Congo, we remained here and you went down to South Africa. So, do not finish the gold in South Africa. ... view
• 9 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not want to interrupt our colleague. However, we have all followed his debate. Clearly, it borders on xenophobic language. Would it be in our practice as Parliament that in our record we allow debates that suggest prejudices against other communities? I say this on Standing Order that speaks to the content of speech. view

• 9 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion as moved. Before I do so, I want to register my frustration that the delegation from the county assemblies normally sits, not in the Public Gallery but in the Speaker's Gallery and there is a difference. I do not know whether this is a conspiracy due to the fact that one of my counties is there. I protest. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is such a straightforward Motion and I do not wish to be labour. I support and I think the challenge will be: Where do we go as ... view

• 9 Mar 2023 in Senate: If we go to Western, I would propose that they do not come to Kakamega, but they end up in a place like Busia and they see the challenges the people of Busia are faced with when it comes to cross-border issues and so on and so forth. We want to send a clear message that Senate is a House that represents counties and serves to protect the interests of those counties, their people and their governments. There is no greater way of doing this than to carry the entire institution so that it is seen to be in a ... view

It is good that we dispense with it so that we allow the Secretariat of the Senate to do the needful to actualise the intention of this Bill. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I respond. view
