• 14 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is on record that four out of 11 Senators of the proposed committee have opposed and, therefore, technically withdrawn. It will be useful for you to make a ruling on whether in this kind of Motion, if this eventuality is reached, does it mean the Motion has been lost or do we still vote on it? Assuming that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 14 Aug 2024 in Senate: the Motion sails through and four Senators have already technically withdrawn, what are we voting for? Mr. Speaker, Sir, please, guide us. By default, it means the Motion has collapsed. view
• 14 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, because of the respect that we accord Members every time they speak, I have been listening to the contributions and heard two Nominated Senators who have raised a point of common sense. That, if Nominated Senators cannot vote in a delegation; and since it requires a delegation to vote to make a decision on removal of a governor, the point of common sense that I have raised is that we have been carrying out an illegality for them to have been participating in committee decisions. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like you to clarify either now or ... view

• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader for ably moving this Amendment Bill. The issue of intergovernmental relations is too important to be left vague the way it is. There is a greater need for us to explicitly provide for it through the kind of legislation that the Senate Majority Leader has just moved. I fully support the reasons he has used to move this Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, when I look at the Bill specifically, I have very few comments, which to my mind, I think are important. The first one is on Page 153 ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: education, and are proud to be serving in big offices or have been considered for those offices? Madam Temporary Speaker, if you are a passenger in an airplane which was currently airborne and somebody told you that the pilot in the cockpit is illiterate, how would you feel? To fly an aircraft, you must be competent. Surely flying an aircraft is a smaller calling than what is expected of us when we are in constitutional offices. I, again, beg all of us to agree that education is important and it should be applied equally as a standard. Madam Temporary Speaker, ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: should be paid serve on a full-time basis? Let us assign functions to these agencies, dissect them and justify the need for us to make it a full-time agency. Madam Temporary Speaker, you are a lawyer and you know there exists the Law Reform Commission (LRC) in this country. I am yet to hear or see proposals in the National Assembly or this Senate from the LRC on legislation. The LRC was put there to purposely modernise our laws in resonance with the new Constitution and update our laws so that we migrate from how the laws had been structured ... view
• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a House of rules and because he was on a point of order, I was constrained. I wanted to challenge him on a point of order. The clarification I want you to make is, is it right for a Member to hide in a Standing Order, so as to debate a point when he has already been given an opportunity to debate? He is out of order. I might be an old dog, which is a good thing because the old dog knows all the rules. view
• 7 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate the young Senator of Bungoma for raising the issue of pending bills. As Sen. Sifuna has said, it is so unfortunate that our former Speaker could hold this House in contempt. I want to appeal to the Governor of Bungoma County, Hon. Lusaka, not to provoke me. He owes us because he has spent Kshs25 million planting grass on a stretch of 600 meters, and he is saying it cost him Kshs25 million. If you want to question the integrity of an institution like the Senate, you should start with ... view
