• 12 Oct 2022 in Senate: and secondary oversight of the county governments in terms of revenue raised nationally and shared to the counties and also local taxation. Why is it that governors and county governments do not want to appear before the Senate until they force us--- Senior Counsel, Sen. Omogeni led a very serious battle in courts. You saw Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, Sen. Murkomen, Sen. Dullo, Sen. Nyamunga and a battery of lawyers led by Senior Counsel, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda to Milimani High Court, to defend the integrity, sovereignty and residual power that the Constitution has given us. It was not an attack ... view

• 12 Oct 2022 in Senate: Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, has said that the Senate Business Committee (SBC) can still consider this. If there is any matter, we can always come here in the morning or sometimes extend time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, you did very well. People stayed here till 9.00 p.m. I was conversing with the Senate Deputy Majority Leader who told me that he was shocked that we stayed up to 9 p.m. There are times when we have stayed here until 1.00 a.m., especially during debate on revenue. May I advise our colleagues that it is not static when we say ... view

• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is on an unrelated issue, understanding Standing Order No.1 which, of course, you have powers to. If you have noticed, we are disadvantaged on this side because our cards are not functional. Therefore, we are unable to raise any matter either as a point of order or any other issue. Can you direct the officers from Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to ensure our cards are functional? The way Sen. Sifuna is going, we might need some necessary and important interventions at some point. view

• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to Sen. Sifuna, the last time he referred to us as rural Senators. So, I do not know whether there is farming in Nairobi City County. I want to clarify an issue of maturity of crops. I appreciate that where he comes from, they also plant maize. However, we have a new high breed that is produced by National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) that can be ready within three months. So, does not necessarily mean nine months or one year. view
• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the name of that hybrid is H512a. It can mature within three months and not the normal five months. So, when we say you get cheaper fertiliser, it can mature within that three months and Kenyans can harvest the crop. view
• 11 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on Standing Order No. 101 on content of speech. I extrapolate Standing Order No. 101(2). You had given direction on this matter of GMOs. In fact, if I remember, you directed the Senator of Vihiga to produce evidence on that issue of GMOs. I think that matter had been dealt with. I do not know why Sen. Sifuna is introducing issues of arguments, when he knows very well that what he is trying to do is casting aspersions on the Government lift on GMOs. It is like anticipating debate. The Government is yet to ... view
