• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to add my voice to what is being discussed. Article 124 of our Constitution mandates this House and the National Assembly to establish committees and make Standing Orders for the orderly conduct of the proceedings of the House. Therefore, our Standing Orders have the full force of the Constitution of Kenya. The provisions of Standing Order No. 51 (a) all the way to 51 (d) have the full force of this Constitution. This is the assembly of the national leaders of our country, elected and nominated, to deal with matters of concern ... view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: That particular Standing Order No. 51(d) on non-attendance of Cabinet Secretaries, the only punishment provided for there is censure. I agree with the proposal that we might have to enhance the punishment. Apart from censuring a Cabinet Secretary, let us enhance the punishment. When governors do not appear before committees of this House, you know what they always do. They are supposed to pay a fine of Kshs500,000, if I am not wrong. It is important for this House to assert its authority on this position, so that a fine of an amount that can be agreed by this House, ... view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is now clear that I should contribute. I rise to support this Motion. I appreciate the work done by the committee led by Sen. Ali Roba and the Vice Chairperson, Sen. Tabitha Mutinda. I want to raise three issues. One is the proposed increment of the shareable revenue from Kshs385 billion to Kshs415 billion in the Financial Year 2024/2025. I come from Baringo County. Currently, Baringo County receives about Kshs6.7 billion. When you apply this amount to recurrent expenditure, the county remains with a minimal amount. I look forward to increasing this figure in the ... view
• 6 Mar 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, my two colleagues have walked in and one of them is from one of the areas affected by cattle rustling, I pray that we give them a moment to contribute to this very impotant Motion. view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Baringo County is 68 per cent arid and semi-arid. We are blessed as a county to have Lake Baringo in our county, which is a freshwater lake. As the leadership of Baringo County, we had presented a proposal to the Ministry, that we can utilise that water from Lake Baringo, take it up upstream and irrigate a bigger chunk of land, which will help Baringo North, Baringo South and Tiaty in terms of irrigation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall when the former Cabinet Secretary appeared here, she confirmed that they were planning to irrigate ... view

• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development for answering our questions. However, he should confirm to the House that the country spent billions of money on fertilizer supply. Even if they were subsidized, I believe that the budget for fertilizers was in billions. Can the Ministry consider the possibility of processing our own fertilizers in Kenya? If that kind of money is spent importing fertilizers and then they are subsidized, would it not be cost-effective for the country to consider manufacturing our own in Kenya? That would save us foreign exchange ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to move the following Motion - THAT AWARE THAT, cattle rustling banditry is a major menace and security threat in the South and North Rift regions and some other parts of our country; CONCERNED THAT, the menace has since left negative socio-economic impacts which include, but are not limited to an increased number of widows, widowers, orphaned children, poverty, displacement of people leading to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), disruption of educational, and health programmes and other economic activities owing to the destruction and or closure of educational, health and other institutions; FURTHER ... view

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I move this Motion, it is sad that in the ... view
