• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I can respond to Sen. Osotsi at a funeral somewhere in Western this coming weekend. 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
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am well guided. What I am saying is that Azimio was part of it, so it is still part of the NADCO report. Sen. Onyonka said in the morning it was a Kenya Kwanza’s report. I am just saying a fact that already exists in Standing Order No.105. I can still replace that with the NADCO/Azimio proposal because Kenyans are aware of the proposals that came from the other factors. In conclusion of the aspect of technology, let us not overate technology. We should only be worried about hacking. Also, how many places have network in ... view
• 28 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Wakili Sigei. I second this Motion. It has reached a point that we now need to clean up our Standing Orders. What guides this House is normally our Standing Orders, which, in essence, originated from the Constitution. I want to make three comments to allow my colleagues to also contribute. I have seen the Senator of Vihiga County looking at me with excitement. The first one is on the issue of amendments to supplementary questions. We amended the new Standing Orders on the appearance of Cabinet Secretaries for question and answer time. However, Members ... view
• 28 May 2024 in Senate: Thirdly, I have also seen a proposal. I wish Sen. Methu would listen to this keenly because he is the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Land Environment and Natural Resources. They have proposed that if you are a chairperson, you should not sit in the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) and County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee (CPIC). Is he saying that he is ready to forego the chairmanship? I can see he is consulting the Senate Majority Leader. The essence is to ensure that there is efficiency and effectiveness of a committee. It is not that the ... view
• 28 May 2024 in Senate: recommendations or directions have been adhered to? So, we need to ensure that there is a reporting mechanism. On the Liaison Committee, I agree that there should be a Vice Chairperson, so that it is easy especially for you and the Deputy Speaker to work efficiently. However, in the future, we should be considered to be Vice Chairpersons of the Liaison Committee. I propose to be the Chairperson or the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the upshot is, that these recommendations are beautiful. We need to agree and move forward. With those many remarks, I beg to second ... view
• 28 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amendment by Sen. Dullo. This amendment originates from the spirit, letter and principle of the Constitution 2010. No Kenyan, be it elected or not elected, should be denied the sacrosanct right to associate with anybody. The era of the Kipande system during pre and colonial times should not be allowed. Article 38 on political rights states that everyone has a right to associate not only within a given specific timeline, but also within a short time. We know the politics of the country and parties change within a week, a year, five ... view
• 28 May 2024 in Senate: Today, I was having a conversation with some of the working groups in this country. They told me the credibility of the Senate as the ‘Upper House’ of Parliament of the Republic of Kenya is always high. I support Sen. Dullo's amendment that any Member of the Senate, whether elected through the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition party, Kenya Kwanza Coalition, or Jubilee party, has a right to participate. In essence, even the Deputy Party Leader of the Democratic People's Party, Sen. Alex Munyi Mundigi, should be given the right of freedom of association and political rights as envisaged ... view
• 28 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, can you protect me from Sen. Methu who is moving my notes to distract me, but tunasema ashindwe . What we are saying in an upshot is that these decisions can be made. With those very many remarks, I beg to support and allow us to move to other agendas of the day. view
• 28 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank and congratulate Sen. Kibwana. She has been doing tremendous work, especially in legislative business. I am happy that these are issues we have been grappling as the Senate County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC). As the Vice-Chairperson of CPAC, one of the audit queries that we have always considered has been own-source revenue and the running of the county treasury. So, the amendment of The Public Finance Management Act is to make sure we put in place necessary mechanisms for accountability purposes and to ensure revenue collection. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ... view
• 28 May 2024 in Senate: In our brief in the CPAC, we normally ask revenue potential of each county. You will find that there is no county that has ever met revenue system. I remember today there was a county that we were meeting, Laikipia County Executive, and they had missed their own source revenue target by over Kshs411 million, apart from the revenue they had set, which is not realistic. Nandi County Executive has a potential target of Kshs630 million on own source revenue according to Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). However, it has never gone beyond Kshs400 million. So, it means most of ... view
