• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: Okay. Let me sit then you indulge me. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.96 and also with your indulgence under Standing Order No.1. As we talk and are happy that the session is coming to an end, we are not sitting pretty with our staff because they have not been paid for office operations. The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) has found it not unwise--- It is disappointing that the Commissioners are not here. Salaries for our workers have not been paid. Landlords are closing our county offices across the 47 counties. There is no money and so the service providers want to auction the Senate ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you saw yesterday when the National Assembly boycotted yesterday’s sitting. They have been assured within the close of business today, their money will be in their National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG- CDF) account. Why does the National Treasury discriminate against the Senate? We shall not even come for tomorrow morning’s sitting. Even today as we speak, we are going to walk out because we cannot proceed until we resolve this issue. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: We are going to crumble the whole business because if there is no money, what business do we have? How can one survive with the harsh economic view
• 6 Dec 2023 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
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: times? When driving us while hungry, they can drive us off roads and cause accidents. Our secretaries and personal assistants have not also been paid. Mr. Speaker, Sir, can you lead us and listen to our plight? This Senate has ever come under attack in the year 2018/2019 and it is you who led us to Milimani High Court when we filed a case against the non-concurrence of 24 legislations by the National Assembly. I would have expected the National Assembly to also boycott and be in solidarity with us the way we were in solidarity with them yesterday. However, ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you need to provide leadership on this one. I do not think you will be sitting pretty. I can tell you that you will have to switch off your phone because we will call incessantly. We will also give your number to our staff, so that they call and explain the situation because vitu kwa ground ni different. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: As we talk, we have been using our own money to fuel and support most of our workers. Some of them have school fees, medical bills and rent to pay. You can imagine walking into your office and your staff have not been paid. With the harsh economic times, we must be serious. Going into the future, I call upon PSC to realise that no House is lesser than the other. When the National Assembly speaks, they listen, however, when Senate speaks, view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: guitar. We must take collective responsibility. This Senate has come under attack since 2013 that we have always been resurgent. They should not underestimate us. We may look like a dormant volcano, but we are going to erupt like it has never been seen before. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I expect Members like Sen. Chute to be on the forefront defending us. Yesterday Sen. Sifuna led us in a Kamkunji and we made a resolution that we shall not sit until we get our dues. It is our right. How can we work? With all due respect, I request that you ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at the Standing Orders, we are not properly constituted. I therefore request you to check. view
