• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: Yes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of Sen. Esther Okenyuri, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1)1 to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding the poor enforcement of anti-trafficking human trafficking laws amid growing concern over the increased cases of human trafficking involving vulnerable children and women in Kenya. In the Statement, the Committee should– (1) Provide a detailed report on the measures in place to protect homeless mothers and their infants from abductions, stating the steps taken to investigate reported cases of baby snatching on the streets of Nairobi and other ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: (5) Disclose the loopholes in the civil registration process that allow traffickers to illegally obtain birth notifications and certificate documents and state corrective actions being taken; and, (6) Outline the measures being implemented to enhance security in birth registration centres. view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of SHA, I want to caution the Office of the Auditor-General (OAG). Under Article 229 of the Constitution, the OAG is very critical in auditing. I am the biggest champion of transparency agencies in the country. However, we should not allow the OAG to sensationalise a critical Government programme. The media also has been part of this wider scheme of sensational stories yet, under Article 22(8) of the Constitution, Parliament has a role. We need to consider these reports. It does not mean that when the OAG has brought a report on the ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: we take it as gospel truth. Parliament must consider and look at the options that come out. Therefore, this thing does not make sense--- The return of brown envelope media has been a problem in this country. You can see they are even attacking the person and stature of a Cabinet Secretary by calling her clueless, yet they do not have regard for what she has already done under the SHA. Therefore, the Auditor-General's report on the Social Health Authority (SHA) is a sensational story that should be taken with a pinch of salt by Kenyans, who take seriously Article ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: Just a minute, Sen. Cherarkey. Sen. Sifuna, what is your point of order? view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not being diversionary. We should avoid double standards. view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: I am not injuring them. The Secretary General of ODM should avoid double standards. When ODM counties perform well, he says these are best ODM counties. However, when stealing or plundering of resources like in Migori is happening, the Secretary General denies. How can he run away from his own child? As a party, you also have a role to bring order and discipline, because I do not believe ODM is a party that allows corruption to thrive in their own counties that they run. In conclusion, I agree that the CPAC and County Public Investments and Special Funds (CPIC) ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: I support. view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is an honour to second this Motion. Yesterday, we debated a Motion on the issue of maize. Today, we are debating West Kano and the role of EACC in this matter. I want to agree largely with the report. Our farmers sacrifice a lot. They sometimes come together through cooperative movements. Sometimes, they save money. Unfortunately, a few individuals, especially our directors, take advantage of the funds meant to bring cooperative movements. I know you are a member of a cooperative in Mount Kenya, which I will use for debate purposes. I do ... view
• 6 Mar 2025 in Senate: made a single arrest. It is unfortunate that EACC bangled the investigations in West Kano because of corruption. Instead of fighting corruption, they are perpetuating it. Therefore, I agree that the DCI must seize the matter, do the needful, investigate, and charge people, including directors or officials who participated in the misappropriation of funds. Although I have heard the Committee has recommended a forensic audit, of course, with a view to a possible investigation of perpetrators, a forensic audit must be done to ensure that anybody who is found culpable and participated in this heist is prosecuted. If you watch ... view
