• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Aden Duale for appearing and answering questions. Mine is only one. For the Kenyan troops that are participating in UN/AU missions across the world, either through wet or dry lease; how much money has been reimbursed by the UN/AU to Kenya over the last five years? I heard him mention the approval of the United Nations (UN) Security Council on participation of our ever-courageous police officers in Haiti. I wish to know whether the KDF will be part of it. view
• 4 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the chance to say thank you. I know there are many Statements, but allow me to react to only one or two, to allow my colleagues to contribute. I thank the Senator for Trans Nzoia County, Sen. Chesang, for bringing the issue of distribution of maize dryers to farmers across the North Rift. As you are aware, we are experiencing a bumper harvest courtesy of the subsidized fertilizer that President William Ruto and his Government have provided. For the first time in many years, we are buying 50 Kilograms (Kg) of fertilizer for ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we appreciate that the Senator is within her right to move to court. In the last Parliament, there was a decision made by the former Speaker of the National Assembly, hon. Justin Muturi, the current Attorney-General (AG). The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) which was the then Minority Party tried to de-whip Hon. David Ochieng’, the current Member of Parliament (MP) for Ugenya from sitting in some committees. When they moved to court, the then Speaker made a ruling that Parliament cannot be injuncted by anybody; not the courts of law or any arm of Government view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health concerning Bills owed by counties to the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA). In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State the amount currently pending in Bills that counties owe KEMSA. (2) State the total amount in pending Bills owed to KEMSA by other entities outside counties and other medical institutions. 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
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: (3) Apprise the Senate on the ongoing reforms at KEMSA, stating the strategies and plans, if any, being employed to address delays in supplying medical commodities and other supplies to the great counties of the Republic of Kenya. (4) Disclose the nature of agreements and terms of engagement and conditions that have been established between the 47 county governments and medical suppliers stating the amount the county governments owe to these suppliers for the last three years outside KEMSA. I request that this issue be dispensed off as practicably and soon as possible. I thank you. view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Committee led by Sen. Mungatana. This is a critical Procedural Motion for extension of time. We need to extend time for them to give us earth shaking and radical proposals on the issue of proliferation of religious organisations in the country. It is not the interest of Parliament to regulate the operations of religious organisations in this country. I challenge the Committee to take time, so that they come up with policies and legislative interventions. As a result, in future, we will not have individuals who take advantage of religion. We ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I applaud the Committee for what they have been doing. This extension of time is well within the law because we want this Committee to come up with legislative policy interventions. If such events, God forbid, happen in this Republic, we should have a legislative intervention on how we can handle such matters. It is sad 30 years from 1998 to now, many Kenyans who were victims of the bomb blast in USA embassy here in Nairobi, are yet to be compensated. We also have victims of the same in Nandi. I call upon ... view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, under the Speaker’s Rules on the conduct of Members in the House, Senior Counsel, Sen. Omogeni, the esteemed Member of the National Dialogue Committee (NDC) walked in casually while you were reading your directions on the matter. I request that you direct this distinguished Member and Senator for Nyamira County to go back and obey the House. I expect a lot from him because he is a ranking Member, he should have frozen when he realized you were on your feet. Kindly call him out of order. view
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. 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
• 3 Oct 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not challenging anything. However, we can build traditions. Since this is the baby of the Chair, I thought it would be wise and neater for the Chairman of the Committee to listen to contributions of Members and then put a few things in perspective. I am not saying it is anchored in the law or the Standing Order. I am not saying it is a must. I just request the party leader and the Chair to maybe hold his horses by listening to our thinking, then when he presents it, he can still answer ... view
