• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. I would also like to thank the leadership of this House. This is among the nine Bills following the NADCO Report. I would have expected that we should have dispensed off this Bill so that we allow Members to prosecute other Bills. It is good to see you. The last time I saw you, we were condoling with the Dagoretti North MP, Hon. Beatrice Elachi. It is good that as MPs, we stand with each other especially when we have challenges. view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the NADCO was a bi-partisan process. Members of the Committee that was formed by both Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, former Prime Minister, and President William Ruto has borne fruits. One of the achievements we have made is that we now have the Broad-Based Government where we working together. One of the Bills as a result of that process is this. view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: I am waiting with excitement the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. As a Member of the Speaker’s Panel, you need to clear something because I have seen you being introduced in two ways. Sometimes it is said that you come from Busia but at times, it is said that you come from Kisumu. You need to make it clear for some of us, so that in future, we know where to place you. You are also a Member of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. How Kenya is, even as these Bills of NADCO have been processed, ... view
• 1 Apr 2025 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
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: heightened campaigns, jostling and pushing for executive power because, one, the winner takes it all. Two is because there are only two positions. Madam Temporarily Speaker, we must have an expanded Executive where we have the President, the Deputy President, Executive Prime Minister, two Deputy Prime Ministers and we have a leadership that is clear. I do not see the need to appoint a Member of Parliament (MPs) and they resign; we go for by-election and the country incurs expenses. Let us allow MPs be appointed to the Cabinet. Let us give them sitting allowances in the Cabinet and save ... view

• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: to challenge the implementation of the law and the regulations are not published. When we try and explain to people that the regulatory making authority has not brought us regulations, they imagine we are abdicating our duty. I agree the punishment should be around Kshs2 million. The proposed fine of Kshs500,000 is chicken change. We must have at least Kshs2 million because we are punishing a Cabinet Secretary. Let us assume the parents regulatory making authority should be the Ministry. If you are now punishing or fining only a Minister, Kshs500,000, you can imagine they will just laugh at you ... view

• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: In the explanatory memo under Section 5A of the Statutory Instruments Act of 2013, one of the grounds is public participation. They must show how consultation was done to ensure we do not open it up for challenge. We are not saying courts should not interpret the law, or question the process of Parliament. I remember in Speaker Mate’s case where a court said we cannot challenge a process, especially on impeachment, that we only challenge at the tail end. We are not saying courts should not challenge, but we are worried when courts want to overreach their mandate to ... view
• 1 Apr 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, why is it that on all matters that are pro-Government, courts are quick to issue injunctions, and we are Kenyans? Courts do not exist in isolation. We must question them. We are funding them. We gave them Ksh20 billion through appropriation the other day. Why are the courts quick to issue injunctions on Government programmes? I have tremendous respect for the Chief Justice. She should come and tell us the reasons they are issuing temporary injunctions against the Government programmes. She can tell us that it is because of X, Y, Z. Colleagues, this is one way ... view
