• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we shall be demanding for a thorough public participation. We want the farmers to take part in the negotiations and in this deal. We want thorough valuation reports to be tabled before the Committee on Agriculture. We have seen companies like Pan African Paper Mills (Pan-Paper) being bought at a very low value. The people who want to buy the sugar factories are not interested in the plant. They are interested with the non-core assets. Mumias Sugar Company has stadiums, buildings here in Nairobi, land and five schools. Those people are not even interested in that plant ... view

• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am concerned with what my good friend, Sen. Cheruiyot, has raised that the leadership of the Minority side is not in the House.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 23 Sep 2020 in Senate: If Sen. Orengo is not in the House, he is represented by Sen. Malalah, who is the Deputy Minority Leader. If Sen. Cheruiyot has an issue with the leadership of the Jubilee Coalition in the Senate, he should raise it with them. view
• 17 Sep 2020 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not wish to delay Sen. Haji further. However, because it is getting late and due to the gravity of this matter, I request that we limit our time to five minutes each. view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to support my colleague Sen. Halake on her Statement about democracy. I join my colleagues in reiterating the fact that Kenya has achieved a lot in regards to democracy. When you look at our past and what we are undergoing right now, we are celebrating the fruits of democracy because of what our political forefathers did in making sure that we achieve this very important element in our society. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would want Sen. Halake who is the Chairperson of the Chairperson of the Centre for Multiparty Democracy – ... view
• 16 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was very clear. My introductory remarks into democracy were very clear. I said people should not use political democracy. I have said they should not interfere with human rights because of democracy. That is my entry point in this issue. As I conclude, it is important to let the people of Kenya know that nobody has powers to close down counties. As protectors of county governments under Article 96, we want to vow before this House that we are going to do whatever it takes. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am happy, Sen. Wetangula was ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. We need to resume our normal sittings because we have a lot of work in our in-tray. We have had a very serious matter before this House for 10 good sittings. It is very important for us to provide time for this House to meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays as provided for in our Standing Orders because we have a lot of business to dispense. view
• 15 Sep 2020 in Senate: I sit in the Senate Business Committee (SBC); therefore, I know that there are many pending Bills, Statements and Motions. There are many Bills that are stuck at the Second Reading stage because we do not have adequate time to meet and deliberate on business. I would like to note that we have seen normal business resuming in this country. We have witnessed political rallies across this country. If political rallies are taking place three times a week, why can the Senate not sit three times a week? It is upon this House to consider this amendment because this House ... view
