• 29 Feb 2024 in Senate: you do not see any story about that county. This is because either the “brown envelope” is working or the media is being intimidated. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, through you, as the Senate of the Republic of Kenya, I assure the media that we shall always protect their freedom, but they must come halfway. The only way we can oversight the counties is for the media to highlight those challenges. With those very many remarks, this is a straightforward amendment, let us process it quickly. Allow me to call Sen. Danson “mla mamba” Mungatana, the only one who shoots straight ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate colleagues who have brought Statements. What got my attention is one or two Statements. In quick succession, one is on the issue of media freedom. I said in some forum that it is safer for media practitioners to work in Gaza than in some counties in this country, such as Nandi. In fact, we are thinking about declaring Nandi as “Gaza II” because the other day, a journalist by the name Philip Kipsongok of Chamgei FM, a vernacular radio station under Royal Media Services (RMS), was attacked and his recorder taken while he was covering ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: uniforms shouting you down. It is good that some of us have some technical expertise on how to handle such goons. However, for people who are new in the field, it might be a challenge. I will, however, give them a piece of advice as we take chai and mandazi. My only concern goes to the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. I saw him around. Let us know the intention of these county enforcement askaris used by the governors. I agree with colleagues, most of these journalists in Nandi would rather cover national ... view
• 28 Feb 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 Services,Senate. view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Education. Please, let us take it up. This education system is the greatest equaliser of all of us. I saw the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for the first time promoting teachers since 2014. We need to ensure there is motivation through the promotion of teachers. Even as we do reforms in the TSC, we need to also ensure that the issue of delocalisation is removed, going into the future. Even the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TSC is past 60 years. There was a circular that had been issued by the Public Service Commission (PSC) and other agencies. So, the ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I have read and internalised the Report on lowering costs. The Report has given us the background very well. However, the underscoring principle of this Report with all due respect is that it was like a skirt that was long enough to cover essentials, but short enough to arouse curiosity on what is happening in the energy sector. It is very unfortunate because the beginning of the report is overwhelming, but the recommendations are underwhelming. I expected earth shaking, radical and atomic recommendations. The Committee has done a fantastic job in ... view
• 28 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thought we had agreed that agriculture is very important. Would it hurt if you give us a minute each if we are to adjourn at 1 p.m.? view
• 27 Feb 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order No. 1 and 105, I have heard my sister, Secretary General (SG) Emeritus, Sen. Veronica Maina, saying that Parliament has the power. If I did not get it correct, she can correct me. She said that Parliament has the power to invalidate contracts under the Independent Power Producers (IPPs) Agreement. My only concern is; is it in order to tell the public that Parliament has power to review, cancel or terminate contracts, yet as a senior lawyer or advocate, she should know that is the preserve of the courts of law? Maybe I ... view
