• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: On the matter of Petitions, hon. Senators will recall that the Standing Orders were amended to have the reports on Petitions debated and adopted. So far, the Senate has considered and adopted eight reports on Petitions. Standing Order No.225 of the Senate Standing Orders provides for follow-up on implementation of the Senate resolutions. I, therefore, urge the Senate Standing Committees to follow up on the same and ensure that the recommendations on the Petitions are acted upon. I also take this opportunity to urge the Standing Committees that are yet to table reports on Petitions to adhere to the timelines ... view

• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to quickly congratulate Prof. Tom Ojienda. I had thought his thinking is limited to law, but I can see he appreciates business. Considering the issues he has raised on the SGR, the Parliament of Kenya and SGR must put pressure on the Executive to roll out SGR whilst understanding it as the new way to expand the economy of Kenya. Kenya's largest trading partner is Uganda, and therefore if this SGR will go to that direction, then we are speaking to the big picture. I, therefore, want us to please Sen. Onyonka there ... view

• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. Before I do so, I beg you to allow me. This Chairman who has just moved the Motion, Sen. Eddy Oketch there, Sen. Abdalla, Sen. Okenyuri, Sen. Mariam and myself have spent a lot of time, painstakingly listening to all commissions, combing through this BPS to bring you a quality report. See the level of participation in the House. We are joking. We have been saying all over that the Senate should be allowed to look at the budget and that the National Assembly should not be the only one doing ... view
• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: Sen. Richard Onyonka has been speaking time without end about budgeted corruption. Inside this BPS, truly there is documented evidence of budgeted corruption. The way they have done it in this one is that they have taken Kshs29.77 billion that is supposed to go to counties, to the national Government. By taking it to the national Government, before you look at it, you can scream that the principle of the national Government carrying out functions that are meant to be done by a devolved structure of government is the only one they are abusing. They have done far more. In ... view
• 13 Mar 2025 in Senate: billion for a programme that is not functional. On what do they want to expend these Kshs2 billion? This country is so rich. If we can afford the luxury of billions just disappearing at Afya House, imagine if that money would be pumped into our schools or hospitals. We have a great country, but we must do more as leaders. If you go to the road sector, projects that should have been done by county governments worth Kshs1.011 billion have been taken to the national Government to work on rural access roads. They have allocated Kshs65 million to Kajiado County. ... view
