• 18 Oct 2022 in Senate: The second issue on membership is something I would like us to really think about. With maximum respect to my colleagues, I am not thinking about those of us who are here now. I am thinking about going forward. We need to tweak our Constitution. Sen. Madzayo, are you telling me when my brother, Hon. Lusaka, was the Speaker of the Senate, you could seriously debate and decide on whatever shortcomings he might have had when he was the Governor for Bungoma County. With due respect, I do not have the current Speaker in mind. However, if a matter comes ... view

• 18 Oct 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am saying this for the sake of my daughter. If she visited Parliament, she would ask all of you what is wrong with women because of all the pictures on the wall, there has been no women speakers. That is why I have never come here with my little girls but I come with my boys because they see the men. I am ashamed of what to tell my girls. We need to tweak it so that they cool at home, we finish their cases and then they can come here. On the issue of volume ... view
• 18 Oct 2022 in Senate: If you have improved on it, thank you very much. However, I am saying this because for example; when you go to this Committee, Members would like to pin down a governor. You find a governor wasted Kshs10 million on fueling vehicles. So, you waste time following that Kshs10 million and you do not go to projects worth Kshs100 of millions. The governor then he escapes. For instance, if the last Committee on Public Accounts had worked--- I am not saying they did not work. They did their best but because of the volume of work, they did not reach ... view

• 18 Oct 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to conclude by responding again to the concerns by Sen. Olekina. Sen. Olekina is worried about it being a committee of morticians but we have an opportunity. Whoever becomes the Chairperson, even if it is Sen. Okiya Omtatah, they should not waste time because we want to deal with current issues like Sen. Olekina said. We should not waste time waiting for the Auditor-General’s reports that are five years old. We should take the route of special audits. As the Chairman of the Committee, once Members support you, when there is a particular issue, ... view

• 6 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is the dignity of the House. It is against the practice and traditions of this House for any Member in the Public or the Speaker’s Gallery to wave, greet, shout, congratulate or acknowledge a Member on the Floor. Since most of us are still new here, I wanted the House to guide itself. In future, we should not ask delegations to cheer and greet us. view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir! The principle of a Member being responsible for the accuracy of his statement in this House is a cardinal principle. Secondly, --- view
• 5 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am on the point of order as a result of the utterances by Sen. Omogeni. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, it is important that the records of this House record nothing but facts. If Sen. Omogeni, who is a Senior Counsel, can fail to read and understand the provisions of the Constitution, then what are we saying about the teaching of law at the University of Nairobi? view
