• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: the National Assembly. One thing that is outstanding in our Standing Orders is that we cannot anticipate debate. In the same vein, we cannot anticipate the outcome of a debate. What pains some of us and deeply so, is that every time there is a conflict, either real or imagined between what the National Assembly should do and what we should, we are always invited to give way to the National Assembly. In this Senate, we are deliberate to restore the lost glory of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. There is nothing that would have gone wrong if ... view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of information. view
• 8 Nov 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to inform the Senator for Nairobi City County that as we insist that the Motion comes in the same format as it is, it should not come to us as a communication from the National Assembly. It should come here as a substantive Motion of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I respect your ruling on Members riding on Statements. I also respect the fact that you also recognize that at times, hon. Members, might not have a chance to attend the Committee proceedings. Therefore, when they ride on a Statement, they are also able to give directions to the Committee to widen the scope on it. I will point out two issues. First, I thank Sen. Oyomo for coming up with this Statement. The Statement is applicable in almost every county in this country. Therefore, many Members in this House have something to say ... view
• 27 Oct 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
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: where private land begins. If we can fast-track this adjudication process, then there will be clarity and these conflicts will be minimised. view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Gazette Notice No.8791 of 27th July, 2022, will go down in history as the worst Gazette Notice to ever be signed by a public officer. I say this because of two reasons. First, there has been a serious discussion across the country on the fate and welfare of Early Childhood Education (ECD) teachers. Some were recruited from as early as 2013 and are still earning as little as Kshs7,000 a month in some counties. view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: I expected the Commission that is supposed to look into the welfare of Kenyan workers and public officers would have demanded for the implementation of the new scheme of service for ECD teachers. This would enable them to earn something so that they can at least put a meal on the table for themselves and their children. Instead, this Gazette Notice increased the salary of the Chairperson of the Commission. The Gazette Noticed, signed by the Chairperson, increased the car grant and mortgage of the Chairperson--- view
• 27 Oct 2022 in Senate: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will go straight to the point. Our own staff at Parliament have had their per diems slashed to almost zero. We expect parliamentary staff to go on official business in New York and give them a per diem of less than 400 dollars per day. To be specific, it is around 390 dollars. Where are they supposed to sleep? What are they supposed to eat? I ask the same question asked by my neighbour, the Senator for Tana River County. This Committee must establish whether the Chairperson of the SRC, should continue occupying a ... view
• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: So my time begins now. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda for bringing this Statement. Many things have been said by my colleagues. Perhaps what my colleague would have thought of doing was to bring a substantive Motion because the issue of boundaries for counties is much bigger that the disputes that he is pointing to between Kisumu, Nandi and Kericho counties. During the previous session when we debated this matter, I remember there were Senators who spoke and alluded to the fact that some counties were becoming expansionists; eating into other people’s lands. Boundaries are ... view
