• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: within the National Assembly, they wanted to water down the powers of the Clerk of the Senate, who is also the Secretary to the PSC. We are aware of those machinations because their intention is to make PSC one-man’s show in favour of the National Assembly, but the Constitution is very clear. Whether you want to legislate the PSC Act the way, they want, the Constitution remains that the Secretary to the PSC is the Clerk of the Senate. My advice to my brother and sisters in the National Assembly is that they will gain nothing by trying to water ... view
• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: The Majority side sends two representatives to the PSC. Next time, I hope that the Minority side will have two representatives, probably Sen. Omogeni and another, preferably a woman. I can see there are many ladies on the Minority side. If we do so, we will achieve balance of power in the PSC. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 127 of the Constitution gives the power the PSC to provide facilities to Members. Can you believe that there are Members of Parliament who are squatting because they do not have offices? view
• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: Sorry, Madam Temporary Speaker and congratulations. You used to be our Secretary General (SG). We wish you well in your future endeavours. view
• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Article 127(6) of the Constitution gives the power the PSC to provide facilities to Members. Up to now, there are Members of the National Assembly and the Senate, who are still squatting on corridors of Protection House, Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) and many other places. These facilities must be provided by the PSC. In KICC where some of us have had offices for some time, we were living with cockroaches. Sometimes you would be in the office and a number of cockroaches, a million of them, show up. There are no lights on the corridors and ... view
• 28 Feb 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 Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: The PSC must do something about the pathetic situation. It is good that we have Members here and hon. Muthama, and we must be treated well. Our safety is also not assured. There are strangers who roam around our offices without a proper accreditation. Our facility should put in place safety measures. Finally, on the issue of Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). Why is it that PSC is behaving as if it is under the SRC? Sen. Omogeni, before we elected him as a Commissioner, had even challenged the gazette notice at that point before the Floor of this House. view
• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: Why is it that the PSC is behaving as if it is under SRC and yet the SRC and PSC are a creation of the Constitution? I note the change of Chair. Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Members of Parliament are facing many problems because of the SRC. We want to encourage, challenge and beseech the PSC to do something. We want to give yale mate ya baraka to PSC, so that they do not allow SRC to blackmail and intimidate them. Why do you fear the SRC? They are issuing circulars left, right and centre. The SRC Chairperson was giving ... view
• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sure where you are seated, you have been well resourced online, so that it becomes easy to preside. Provision of internet to our offices is important. The internet we have in our offices is behaving like the Kenya Power Company. It disappears and comes back at its own will. Who is the provider of Wi-Fi ? We are not using Wi-Fi to watch Tiktok videos. We use it to research and enrich the issues we present before the Floor of the House. view

• 28 Feb 2023 in Senate: Alongside Sen. Muthama, Sen. Wetangula, Hon. Moses Musalia Mudavadi, His Excellency President William Ruto, the Deputy President, Hon. Rigathi Gachagua alias “Riggy G” and other Members of the Majority side, we have to support Sen. Muthama. He must be a commissioner in the PSC. We want him to serve everybody regardless of what they believe in or where they come from. I do not want to say other issues on the Floor of the House. I will reserve them and speak at the Speaker’s Kamukunji. However, I support this Motion and wish the PSC all the best as they serve ... view
