• 23 Apr 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the last time I checked --- view
• 23 Apr 2024 in Senate: Last time I checked, Sen. Kinyua only acted in that position for a few weeks. He is not the Speaker of the House. Madam Temporary Speaker, I take orders from the Speaker and you have ordered me to second. Through your orders and not any other orders, I second. view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Bill sponsored by Sen. Cherarkey on the threshold for the removal of a Member of the Executive in the county government. As we support this Bill, it should also be noted, as I heard the Senate Majority Leader say, that this is patchwork. May be at some point, we may need to deal with it and come up with complete legislation, especially on the matter of the removal from office of both the Governors and CECs in the counties. I say this because the county assemblies must be supported ... view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: What has happened is that now a very young leader, very robust, a man of the people, cannot hold public office because he was impeached for extra-constitutional reasons. If Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale for whatever reason, is unable to move fast, let the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations take up this matter and bring a Bill, so that we debate and put in place proper requirements for impeachment of Governors. Some of the things that we are being treated to in this House are personal vendetta. If somebody disagrees with their political party, this House has no business fixing disputes ... view
• 18 Apr 2024 in Senate: because whatever has happened at Bunge Tower was done by human beings. There are people who took decisions. There are people who authorized payments. There are people who authorized variations. We need to call people out. We need to answer the question of accountability. How accountable are those people who were supposed to make decisions? How accountable are they to us and this country? The money that has been used to build Bunge Tower is public money. If somebody can tell us to keep quiet about BungeTower, then that person should tell us to keep quiet about the expenditure of ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question is very closely related to what Sen. Mungatana has alluded to in his opening remarks. Article 187 of the Constitution is very clear on the transfer of functions from one level of Government to another. One of the requirements of that Article is that when that transfer is going to take place, then arrangements shall be put in place to ensure that the resources necessary for the performance of the function or exercise of the power are transferred. I want to know whether Article 187 of the Constitution was invoked in the transfer ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the Gambling Control Bill (National Assembly Bills No.70 of 2023); a Government Bill from the National Assembly. Before I go to the contents of the Bill, allow me to say that gambling has become a near menace in this country. Both young people and adults are losing money in billions to briefcase gamblers and institutions that you cannot even trace where they have come from. From the onset, I am pleased that, at least, there is an attempt to bring order into this messy industry. ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Part III of the Bill speaks to the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA). I have my issues with that section because of two things. One, what we normally do when we legislate and create authorities, is a problem that we have inherited from perhaps a level of laziness. I do not know on whose part. Every time that we create an authority or a board, we are very quick to do a copy and paste exercise to determine who the members of the board are. Traditionally, we always put in there a Principal Secretary of the Ministry responsible, a Principal Secretary ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support. I will wait for the Third Reading to propose amendments. view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know why that applies to me and not other people, but it is fine. The question that Sen. Orwoba asked is very important. It is actually a manifesto question. A Government is in office on the basis of a specific pledge to the women of this country. The Cabinet Secretary on the Floor of the Senate has said that perhaps the Government has moved away from the pledge. Is it the position that the Government has moved away from the pledge that was made to the women of Kenya and they can wait ... view
