• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to say that this is a mediated version of the report. From the onset, allow me to thank Justice Ogola Sewe, Justice John Chikati, and Justice Joseph Mung’are for not stopping the Housing Levy Fund. There was a matter in court, but I am happy that they have not disallowed it. They have allowed the Government to continue so that we can provide affordable housing. Secondly, I thank my colleagues who sat on the Mediation Committee. I sat in the Mediation Committee and I thought it is important that I make ... view
• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: No, it is just for record so that somebody cannot misquote me that I said miss or missus because there is that confusion. I thank you for your indulgence. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 22 Oct 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, at least I know your status. I want to make a few comments on the amendment to the Sugar Bill because we debated it. There are five issues that we agreed on. One was on the amendment of the sugar zone. We changed it to become sugar catchment area. I want our farmers and stakeholders in the sugar industry to listen to this. Sugar catchment areas was to mean cane management, which means delivery, processing and research. Secondly, it was for purposes of elections of the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) directors. That is why we amended Clause ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek some clarification. However, since yesterday we started with the word of the Lord, I would like to read to my brother, Eckomas Mutuse, Proverbs 12, verse 22. It says- “The Lord detests lying lips, but he delights in those who is telling the truth.” Hon. Mutuse Eckomas, I leave you with that. Please allow me to seek the clarification. One, by the time you were giving us that the wealth of the Deputy President was Kshs5.2 billion that you allege has been acquired for the last two years, did you ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to say from the onset, this is very momentous. This is a true test of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 because in history, we are used to impeaching governors, not the Deputy President. As I begin, I want to wish my brother and friend, Rigathi Gachagua, a quick recovery after that unfortunate incident. This ongoing process has largely gone on well until the adherence of Article 50, where we have not succeeded in giving a fair hearing to the Deputy President. The reading of Article 145(4) does not specify the timeline in which ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in observation, we did even allow state officers, a full-time governor to participate. This matter was decided in the Constitutional Petition No. 204 of 2019, where state officers were barred by Justice Eric Ogola. When you look at the issues on various grounds, for example, on the ground for the renovation of the Office of the Deputy President, the funds were appropriated by the National Assembly, yet the same National Assembly is accusing the Deputy President, who is not even an accountant. The accountant is a different person. Even on the KEMSA issue on the bullying, the ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have three questions. One, I need clarification on Section 14 on cultural gifts. For instance, some of us in our community when we respect you, we give you cows. Does it qualify within the meaning of Section 14? Number two, I have seen administration action against KEMSA and Ministry officials. Since you recommended administrative action, have you gotten feedback from KEMSA? Did you also recommend any action against companies? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard ... view
• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Finally, are there any active investigations by the EACC against the person of Rigathi Gachagua or the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya? I thank you. view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I would like to support the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget for this report. I agree with them that they should reject the amendments from the National Assembly. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I always get impressed by the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. I can see a number of Members in the House. This is authority. The last time they were supposed to cut down the money from Kshs401 billion to Kshs380 billion, they brought us a rejection that the counties should get Ksh401 billion. I support ... view
• 15 Oct 2024 in Senate: I remember we did visit Isiolo County. The construction of the headquarters was stopped. We went to Nyamira County, with Sen. Okong’o Omogeni - I wish he was listening. He was my lawyer when I was struggling in those days and he defended me. He took us to Nyamira County headquarters when governor Amos Nyaribo - may his soul rest in peace - was still the governor. We went there under the Devolution Committee. view
