• 18 May 2022 in Senate: We are worried because of how he has been talking in the public of late. He can become ferocious. How can somebody be allowed to carry a rungu into the Chamber? I am worried! Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Olekina may decide to jump on you with the view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Is one allowed to walk into the Chamber with a Maasai rungu? I know it is allowed during Maasai meetings but not in the Parliament of Kenya. view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Unfortunately, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, he has finished. I thought he was speaking as if he was in a campaign rally. Is it in order to start campaigning for people on the Floor of the House instead of canvassing serious issues? I am not satisfied on the issue of dressing upon looking at the Speakers rules and regulations. I request for your ruling on this matter. No, I am not trying to offend. I just need the Speakers ruling to inform me. If we do not take care, I will also come with a walking stick and other people can ... view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, personally as a leader in this Republic, I respect all cultures, regardless of where they are from and there is beauty in diversity. Sen. Olekina should not mislead the Republic of Kenya by saying that I am against the Maasai culture; I am not. In fact, most of the names that we have in the County of Nandi are originally from the Maasai. Sen. Olekina should not mislead the Nation. We have not prevented him from coming to the House, wearing Maasai shuka and regalia. I was worried about Standing Order No.109. I have read the ... view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: No! I am requesting for a ruling from the Speaker. Can you hold your peace? You are even misleading yourself because you are being reactive, which might prove my assertion that you are violent. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to interpret the term “or any offensive weapon.” It further says: “No Senator shall bring a firearm or any offensive weapon.” Personally, I know that a rungu and bakora in our culture are signs of authority. However, sometimes they can be used as weapons. I need the interpretation of “any offensive weapon into the Chamber or the venue of a ... view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Listen, Sen. Madzayo, I know you are a retired Judge. It states that: “Any such weapon shall be deposited with the Serjeant-at-Arms for safe custody---” We have a number of them here. You can deposit your rungu there. “---for safe custody before entering the Chamber or the venue of a Committee sitting, and collecting at the time of leaving.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have read the Speaker’s Rules. It is copy and paste of the Standing Orders that we are using. In this House, we are guided by rules and regulations. We have no problem with Sen. Olekina’s attire; ... view
• 18 May 2022 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
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: He used to deposit his rungu with the Serjeant-at-Arms from day one. I used to see him do that. Therefore, we need your ruling, to allow the House to move forward. The only Members who can be allowed to the Chamber with it are Persons Living with Disabilities (PWDs) like Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, who uses crutches. During the time when I was using crutches, the Serjeant-at-Arms would take them once I sat down. Sen. Olekina should not reduce the Senate of the Republic of Kenya into a village view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: The village baraza is the place where you can go with those weapons and symbols of authority. I have tremendous respect for Sen. Olekina. He has stayed in the United States of America and he knows that there must be order in every society. There are rules and regulations that guide this House and I need a ruling on the issue of why Sen. Olekina brought a rungu to the Floor of this House. I request Sen. Madzayo to keep a social distance because that distance is too small considering the way Sen. Olekina is flinging that rungu. That distance ... view
• 17 May 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I congratulate Sen. Khaniri my neighbour and the incoming Governor of Vihiga County for bringing this Statement. I do not know why Sen. Kwamboka is smiling. Sen. Khaniri is part of Azimio la Umoja. I remember my County Assembly of Nandi did an investigation on KUSPs. It is unfortunate that there are deaths. I challenge the Committee that in one of its recommendations, some of the senior county officials in Vihiga County must be prosecuted for negligence and losing sacred lives. I hope the Committee is listening very carefully. Lives are very important. These donations ... view
