• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: person that we resort to, to effect the arrest through Parliament. My proposal would be that we leave the IG of Police completely out of this arrangement and the arrest should be purposeful. As I said we are not arresting governors, cabinet secretaries to present them before a court of law. We are arresting them to present them before committees of Parliament or the plenary of the Senate. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those many remarks I do support. view
• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to also contribute to The Water (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.33 of 2023). From the onset, let it go on record that I oppose this Bill. I have agreed with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that in this Session, we will debate seriously the matters that come to the Floor of this House. Let us be reminded, all of us, that one of the key responsibilities of the Senate especially sitting in Plenary is to defend the interests of counties and their governments. A casual reading of Section II, the Fourth Schedule ... view
• 14 Feb 2024 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 Director, Hansard Services,Senate. view
• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: composed of national Government actors resolve a matter that involves two counties without the involvement of those counties? Some of these things do not make sense. The Constitution is clear that any legislation that goes against the provisions of any section of the Constitution is null and void, to the extent of the conflict. Water is a devolved function and people are supposed to be arbitrating and resolving disputes on matters of water in counties. If those people do not consist of players from different counties, then this law falls flat on its face. The second matter is on bulk ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Yesterday was a very sad day in this country. It was sad because as a House, we had to take extraordinary measures to send a message to this country, that the Senate of the Republic of Kenya is under siege. It is under siege from the Executive in relation to the disbursement of funds that are owed to Members and this House. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: We have to make it clear that Senators are not asking for an additional penny to what they are entitled to. Hon. Senators and Parliament is not seeking salary increment for Members or staff. We have offices that we run in our counties. We run those offices for the sake of the people that have elected us to represent them in this House. In the running of those offices, there would be operational expenses which are supposed to be met by disbursements from the Exchequer. This is the third month since any office of any Senator received a penny for ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: As the Committee prepares to do so, I want to join my colleagues in saying shame on him. If the Speaker of the Senate cannot receive a delegation from a foreign country, then what is the business of this House? Some things can hurt leaders. The leader of Somaliland, on record, says that he wants to tighten the relationship between his country and our country. He goes on record and says that they are consuming a lot of farm produce from our country. For the information of the PS, agriculture is a devolved function and there is no other place ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 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 Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: Instead of the PS; this junior officer coming to the Senate to learn a thing or two about diplomacy, he thinks that he can talk to us about diplomacy from a position of information. Once again, I say, shame on him. Lastly, we are not going to step down in demanding for what is our right. I would want to call upon my colleagues as a leader in this House. There is a saying that goes and it should not be taken literally, “that if you settled to kill the king, the king must die.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have ... view
• 6 Dec 2023 in Senate: I will conclude by saying, that going forward, I wish, as Senators, we can demonstrate to this country this level of bipartisanship, not just on matters that affect us, but especially on matters that affect our people. view
