• 30 May 2024 in Senate: cool off as we audit them. We should be giving more resources to the EACC even if they do not work. This is because it is a creation of the Constitution. It is us to give resources to EACC and Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to do their job. I saw the other day Members of the National Assembly decided to increase their own money of National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) from Kshs130 million. Out of their own selfish interest, they have added themselves Kshs30 million. So, Members of National Assembly through NG-CDF, will be getting Kshs160 million. Why ... view
• 30 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the term ‘caucus’ is not defined in our Standing Orders. It is a meeting of like-minded individuals such as the Caucus of women Senators in this House. That is why he is laughing heartedly because he is leading a battalion. He knows the reason I do not want to go to details. Allow me to conclude. The Senate should be listening to Solomonic wisdom, as I dispense it free of charge and on pro-bono basis. Let us not appear as if we are fighting Governors. Let us fight them based on audits and what they are ... view
• 30 May 2024 in Senate: Let us make laws that strengthen oversight. Let us ensure that the money going to Bomet, Nandi, Kisii, Kiambu, Lamu, Turkana, and Tana River Counties has value. This amendment to the Constitution is a threat that undermines individual political rights. That is why I want to ask Sen. Chimera; if a Cabinet Secretary in the national Executive presiding over a Ministry wants to run for Presidency, will we say that because of his position, he cannot and has to wait for five years because we are still auditing that Ministry? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Gov. Lusaka sat in your seat ... view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence. We are in the Second Reading Stage of the Bill and not the Committee of the Whole. However, I appreciate what Sen. Mumma is doing. Are we in the Committee of the Whole or the Third Reading? The rule of debate is that as we engage with the Bill, we give the merits and demerits, not the Committee's proposed amendments. Is it in order as per the rules of debate vis-a-vis the rules of the Committee of the Whole stage? view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House is a House of rules. Under Standing Order No. 97, Sen. Wambua had contributed to this matter. The Standing Orders should guide us. Why would he want to speak to the same matter? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you kindly listen to me under Standing Order No. 97? “97. Speaking twice to a Question- (1) No Senator shall speak more than once to a Question except in the Committee of the Whole.” view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Sen. Wambua should have waited until we are in the Committee of the Whole. view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It does not happen. It says you cannot do that in this Standing Order No.97. view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Nonetheless, you can introduce it in the Committee of the Whole. view
• 29 May 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity. From the onset, I will only support this Bill on condition that we will do amendments. This Bill is part of the larger proposed Bills by the NADCO. It is unfortunate that it did not come out as some of us expected. Had they allowed me to present my Solomonic wisdom in the NADCO process, we would have had a better version. Now that it lacks some wisdom, I want to briefly inject it with the Koitalel wisdom by saying a few things. One, we should not be reactive to issues of ... view
