• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am a little bit uncomfortable with the answer by our Cabinet Secretary. You are right that the NLC is independent, but you are expected to do what it takes to respond to our concerns. So, if you respond, it requires that you come with information that is in the custody of the NLC. I believe you should do so. You cannot then refuse to answer the question and then ask us to do otherwise. What we have done is what we believe is the right thing. Could you tell us what difficulty The electronic version ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: you have in accessing the information that we wanted, which in your view, is in the hands of the NLC and then transmitted to us, the Cabinet Secretary? view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Allow me to greet the distinguished delegation from Taita-Taveta, ‘ mana’ . I would like to welcome them on behalf of the institution of the Senate and assure them that they are in a good place. This is the citadel of knowledge as far as parliamentary affairs are concerned. It is our pleasure. I want to confirm to them that all the money that was supposed to be in the custody of the Governor of Taita-Taveta has gone. The schedule of the release of that money is available from the website of the Office of the ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the record, let it reflect that the Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development, who is my friend, is an advocate. She is conversant with the Constitution of Kenya. Could she fall back to the provision of Article 35 of the Constitution of Kenya, which will help her access the information that we are looking for, climb down a little bit and subject herself to being answerable to this House? Cabinet Secretary, as a senior member of the Government, and equally because I am also a senior member of the Government, we are ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Taking over from where the Senator of Kisii has left, I want to remind colleagues that this is our baby. When we rose to respond to the disaster of the Gen Zs, one of the things that we resolved upon in this House in that great debate that we had never seen before, was to address the displeasure of the young people on how we spend all our time showing off opulence, choppers and vehicles that cost over Kshs51 million. The youths because they are better educated than what our generation was at their time, ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would not have put it better. I truly thank you. This Bill is not a joke. There is still money meant for drugs in hospitals and thanks to that shortage, patients die and they come to bury us. They steal money meant to fix our roads, they go ahead and buy four-wheel drives that can avoid potholes. They buy choppers, courtesy of those bad roads, when we die, they come to show us. We do not want that money. In Tana River County, I have had the choice and pleasure, for six years, to ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: “The provisions of this Part shall not apply to a private fundraising appeal where the solicitation is made from members of the beneficiary’s nuclear family or relatives and does not extend to members of the public.” This Bill will allow us to sit as a family in Malinya and a family in Idakho and do our fundraising. What they are against is public fundraising. The law has gone further in Clause 9 to create a distinction between public and private fundraising. It is the public fundraising that we want to control. I, therefore, wish to appeal to colleagues; let us ... view
• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to welcome the young women from Ikolomani. I have special words of thanks to Hon. Rachel Ameso, who is the host of this CBO. Hon. Rachel Ameso is one of our commissioners of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). I am aware that the commissioner purposes to become the women representative of Kakamega--- view

• 20 Nov 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to wish her well. As I welcome these great women, allow me also to congratulate the Member of County Assembly (MCA) of Idakho North, Mama Gladys Omukongolo. I am sure she is in the delegation. What a coincidence that the group is in the House today, when the hospital that I upgraded from a dispensary to a maternity health centre, has the same name and it was started courtesy of harambee by Seth Lugonzo? I, therefore, thank you for coming. If you finish quickly, I would like to meet you behind the tent, so that ... view
