Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for your indulgence. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1) to make a Statement on a general topical concern and national importance, namely; the passing on of one of Kenya’s most decorated boxer, Mr. Philip Waruinge. Mr. Philip Waruinge, a legend who died on 19th October, 2020, was born on 3rd February, 1945. He was a legendary boxer who represented our country in various boxing events in the world arena. He started his boxing career in the late 1960s at the historic Madison Square Garden in Nakuru Town, now Nakuru City County, and ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to my learned senior and teacher, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda, Standing Order No. 55 is explicit on when you are requesting for Statements. I have been following the Statement word by word. Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda is adding political statements in his submission which is contravening Standing Order No. 55 (3) where it says: “A request for Statement shall not- (a) be made the pretext for debate; (b) be framed so as to give information or suggest its own response; (c) convey a particular point of view; (d) contain any argument, inference, ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Article 188 is expressly clear. I saw the recommendation of Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda to the Speaker on which Committee should handle the Statement, the Statement that falls under Standing Order No.51 on General Statement. In your wisdom, under Standing Order 52(3), you may decide to refer the matter to the relevant Committee. This is a serious issue. Nandi and Kisumu counties have even gone to the National Lands Commission (NLC) over the boundary dispute we have with Kisumu County. Kisumu County has been encroaching Nandi County. I remember when the Privatization Commission over ...

of that time. This is a very serious matter. I respect Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda because he taught me conveyancing. He has written a lot on land issues. In one of his books, he says land is an emotive issue. He knows well that he is walking into a quagmire. Leaders should not make sensational Statements in the House. He has accused one county of encroaching into the other, yet he knows this matter has given us problems at the border between Kisumu and Nandi counties. However, because of the magnanimity of my people, we have tried to be peaceful ...

We have a boundary dispute between Nandi and Kisumu counties. Since the Governor of Kisumu County is a professor of Political Science and the Senator for Nandi County is also a ‘professor’ of Law, I thought they would bring their knowledge and wisdom in resolving this matter. This would be a better thing to do instead of going to a village to make declarations. I saw him speaking somewhere over the weekend. I appeal to my people in Nandi County to remain calm and peaceful as we approach this issue. I want to assure the country that the boundary of ...
