Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I will comment on the Statement by the Nominated Senator on the State Visit of His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty the Queen Consort. There have been conversations about kingpins in the country, but I am happy the real King is in town. You heard our beloved President say so. I come from the home of Koitalel Samoei. The King has apologised for atrocities and brutality that were meted out to Kenyans during the colonial times. I appeal to the King and the Government of the United Kingdom to properly ...

Standing Order No. 98t says: “Any Senator may raise a point of order at any time during the speech of another Senator stating that the Senator raises a point of order and that Senator shall be required to indicate the Standing Order upon which the point of order is based” Madam Temporary Speaker, is it in order for Sen. Oketch Gicheru to violate the Standing Order by not even indicating the Standing Order that Sen. Tabitha Keroche was violating?

Madam Temporary Speaker, from the onset, I thank the House. Yesterday, I proceeded midway. I will not take much of the remaining time so as to allow my colleagues to comment. The Prevention of Livestock and Produce Theft Bill (Senate Bills No.12 of 2023) is set to ensure there are mechanisms of preventing, combating and eventually eradicating livestock and produce theft. My heart goes out to the people of Baringo County where there has been insecurity for the last two or three days. We hope the Government can arrest the situation. The issue of cattle rustling is very uncomfortable in ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, it goes without saying that the King is in town. I hope he does not listen to what the former people who occupied this land many years ago would listen to. I emphasize what the Deputy Majority Leader said that State House is a public entity and each and every Kenyan is allowed to visit and meet the President. I hope Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) will suspend their disciplinary action against Members of Parliament (MPs) who have visited State House to discuss development since their party leader has also visited State House. Madam Temporary Speaker, on the ...

the law enforcement into the dealings and assets. I am proposing that if we find you as a financier of livestock theft and cattle rustling and banditry, the courts can order your investigation and have your assets frozen. Those assets can be recovered because we will believe that is what was used. We are killing the head. We are not going for small bandits who run around in Kerio Valley, among other areas. We are going for financiers. The other point is on public awareness. We shall ensure that we sensitize the public on the same, which that is the ...
