• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also take this opportunity to congratulate Sen. Iman for bringing this matter to our attention on the Floor of this Senate.

• 14 Jul 2021 in Senate: We cannot run away from the fact that we are living in a digital age and at a time that a lot of virtual interactions are taking place. There are both positive and negative things about the new normal. To the credit of social media, we must appreciate that it has made life easier and caused efficiency in transaction of businesses, including our own business in this Senate. However, there are serious issues when it comes to social media that we must address. I will point maybe two or three of them. As a Member of the Committee on Information ... view
• 13 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to, first, congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with this wonderful amendment to the Parliament Powers and Privileges Act. Before I get to the subject matter of the Bill, last week, this House took some time to talk about issues of action or inaction in as far as its resolutions and recommendations are concerned to relevant Government officials in the Executive. This Bill provides a broad answer to that question. The question of whether a House of Parliament in the Republic of Kenya can legislate or make resolutions in vain. ... view
• 13 Jul 2021 in Senate: We have passed a lot of resolutions. We have made a lot of decisions through Bills, Motions, Statements, Petitions, but the recommendations have just been left to gather dust in the shelves of Government offices. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has mentioned the issue of Solai Dam where very strict recommendations were made but, today, it is just another story. Nothing has happened. I hope that by passing this Bill, justice will be served to Kenyans and that the people in Government offices, especially the Executive will begin to take the work of Parliament a lot more seriously. Madam Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Before we go to Statements, I sought a Statement more than two months ago on the issue of payments for former councilors. The Committee on Labour and Social Welfare undertook to process the matter within 14 days. It is now two months down the line and I have not received any report and no processing has taken place. I raise this matter because the plight of our former councilors is appalling. This House has to do something or be seen to be doing something about their plight. If such a Statement can sit here for ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to also make a comment on this Statement. I join my colleagues in thanking the Senator for Vihiga for bringing this Statement. However, you remember when the Senator for Vihiga was making this Statement, he mentioned that there are other Statements that are lined up. At the risk of anticipating debate, I would actually look forward to that very serious conversation around that Statement on unemployment occasioned by Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). When that time comes, we will deal with it. Madam Temporary Speaker, for now, allow me to say the following. I ... view

• 6 Jul 2021 in Senate: That speaks to wisdom and responsibility. We have a duty as leaders of this country to take care of the health of our people and make sure that we do not expose them to unnecessary dangers on the spread of this COVID-19. Madam Temporary Speaker, there has been a lot of talk about COVID-19 billionaires and the money that people have squandered. People who are known have squandered money that was set aside to fight the spread of the virus. I do agree with my leader that perhaps we need to have a special Motion to discuss what we are ... view
• 3 Jun 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know that the Report was tabled last week but can I request that we be supplied with hard copies of the Report of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations on the Conferment of City Status to Nakuru Municipality. view
