• 22 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion on the removal of Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki from the position of Deputy Speaker of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. The Mover of this Motion, the Majority Whip, Sen. Kang’ata, has tabled what he believes to be the grounds for the removal of Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. Of all the grounds that he has tabled, the Senator of Kitui County is guided by the ground of the fact that the appointing party has lost confidence in Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki as the Deputy Speaker. There is ... view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: debating on the application and interpretation of the law in regard to the removal of the Deputy Speaker. view
• 22 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, even those of us who are not lawyers, we know very well that you cannot use general provisions of the law to make a decision on a matter for which there are specific provisions. Article 106 of the Constitution will apply on this one. More so, I want to say that the decision that would be made on the fate of Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki has got nothing to do with his competence or performance on the Chair. I want to support the contribution by the Senator for Nairobi City County, Sen. Sakaja, that the Majority Whip did ... view
• 19 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I join my colleagues in hailing you for the decision or direction that you have given in regard to voting on the Floor of this Chamber. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about monumental changes in the way business is transacted in this country, region and entire world. The other day, I saw the Presidents of the East African Community (EAC) holding a virtual meeting and making very strong recommendations on the way forward. The fact that a decision was made virtually does not make it any less of a decision of the ... view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to comment on the Petition from Machakos County. I have a few things to say about this Petition in relation to human resource management in many counties. In support of this Petition, I urge the Committee to which you will refer this Petition to look into the critical issue of capacity building for human resources in our counties. Only yesterday, I received a delegation of employees of Kitui County Government. These are village administrators who for the last seven years, have stagnated at Job Group H. There is no progression, promotion ... view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Nairobi City County has touched a very important issue, on non-remittance of statutory deductions. The painful thing about it is that money is already deducted from employees. However, the county governments have not remitted that money to the trust fund and somebody has pocketed that money. This is a criminal case. Since Sen. Sakaja is the Chairperson for the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, I urge that they take drastic action and provide recommendations on how to manage this issue. This is a serious issue. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek your guidance on the Statement that has been issued by Sen. Malalah. He has talked about SRC. I have also been approached by other administrative workers in Kitui County. If the matter is taken to the SRC, it will become a policy issue yet their complaint was that they have been left out during this time as the other health workers are being given allowances in respect of the fight against COVID-19. Kindly give us guidelines on where that matter will be processed. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would hate to disrupt my brother, Sen. Madzayo. Your rules concerning sittings at this time clearly stipulate that we cannot approach the Speaker and that we limit movements and consultations within the Chamber. Have you relaxed those rules? I have sat here and seen a lot of consultation amongst ourselves, yet we are complaining out there that Kenyans have relaxed and gone back to normal life. Kindly guide us. Thank you. view
• 12 May 2020 in Senate: On the same note with what Sen. Nyamunga said, with a slight amendment, we can borrow a leaf from the National Assembly where the sitting is preserved for first-come-first-served basis, such that the sittings are open for all Senators meaning that the first 28 who get in will transact the business of the House; if that can also be taken to the SBC. view
