• 23 Apr 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 23 Apr 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if I heard Sen. Beth Syengo, the incoming women representative of Kitui right, pursuant to Standing Order No.105, did she mean to state that the Government should stop rain? She is saying that the Government should stop the rains and the floods. Rains and floods are acts of God. view
• 23 Apr 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I support the Motion. I empathise with many Kenyans who have lost their lives or property due to ongoing flooding. We prayed for this rain. We must be responsible for what happens. Number two is that as the Vice Chair of the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), counties normally allocate two per cent of their budget to disaster management. The question we should ask ourselves as Senate is where are the counties in all this conversation? They have enough resources to mitigate the disaster of flooding we are facing in this country. Therefore, counties cannot escape responsibility ... view
• 23 Apr 2024 in Senate: 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
• 23 Apr 2024 in Senate: Most of the floods are happening around riparian areas where buildings have diverted rivers. Nature is unforgiving. If you build on riparian land and a waterway, the moment it rains, even after 20, 70 years those waters will come. If it is objected on the way, it will always bring a disaster like what happened in Dubai. Madam Temporary Speaker, I call upon all Kenyans to be careful, especially during the rainy season. Please let us always be careful while driving. With those many remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to move the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.25 of 2023). Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very straightforward amendment, and thank you for allowing me to move. I have been waiting for long, but I understand the order of the business keeps changing and this is just a way of improving, enhancing widening and deepening the devolution. That is why members of the public who watch us when we make laws should understand that we can make and amend, and at the same time, we can review them because we are ... view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Yesterday, I heard somebody within Parliament trying to issue gagging orders for some of us not to speak about the welfare or concerns that we have. I want to put it without fear of contradiction that many people tried to intimidate us in our previous lives. Some of us were arrested, persecuted and prosecuted, but I want to inform them the price of intimidation and blackmail is zero. Therefore, there are no gagging orders. If there is something wrong - if there is no water in the Chamber - we have a right to ask questions about it. You cannot ... view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am building the basis of moving my amendment Bill. view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, we shall keep asking questions about the Bunge Tower as long as something is wrong. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on that note, why are the guilty afraid? Let the people who should carry the cross, carry the cross when they need to. view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not look for a time in my life here on the Floor that Sen. Sifuna would be defending you, but that one is said and done. view
