Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am hoping and praying that I will get the same leniency as Sen. Olekina. Sen. Sakaja, I want you to listen to this because it is important. This is not just about health. This must be about all the functions that have been transferred from the County Government of Nairobi City to the NMS. I say this because today Senators will contribute to this Statement on account of how they are aligned, either with the NMS or with the County Government of Nairobi City. However, when finally the chips are down somebody will be ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I hear what Sen. Kajwang’ is saying. In fact, as it stands now, the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations is critical. The Government is in the process of distributing relief food and the Drought Mitigation Fund across the country. We do not know the criteria being used.

Kajwang’ to bring a Motion if that is what needs to be done for his Committee to be properly constituted irrespective of ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, with all due respect, Sen. Farhiya’s address is directed to the wrong people. What she said gives credence to the argument on the Floor that the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations should be properly constituted to say those things to the Cabinet Secretary (CS). She is telling us that we should not distribute food. We do not distribute food. We only monitor the distribution, whether it is food or cash transfers. She is speaking to my point that we should constitute the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations properly so that they can tell the CS ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. From the word go, I stand in support of this Censure Motion by the Senate Minority Leader. I have very few things to say because my colleagues have said a lot.

Any government that acts otherwise is in the business of losing its legitimacy. Allow me to clarify something although I do not see Sen. Cherargei here. We are not here to defend any sectarian ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to inform Sen. Halake that Article 94(5) of the Constitution states that: “No person or body, other than Parliament, has the power to make provision having the force of law in Kenya except under authority conferred by this Constitution or by legislation”.

Whenever the Senate considers any legislative business, which has no basis in law by just having a talk show, we are setting up this House for failure and disrespect in this country. I therefore ask my sister, Sen. Halake, to refrain from making that kind of statement, which insinuates that we are just passing time.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had sought your permission to make a comment on your ruling relating to the broadcast against Sen. Kang’ata. Your ruling was reasonable; not punitive. You have given the right direction on this matter.
