• 20 May 2025 in Senate: Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika. Hii Seneti ni Bunge la rekodi na Wakenya wanashuhudia Mswada huu na jinsi tunavyozungumza hapa kwenye runinga zao. Tunapaswa yale mambo ambayo tunazungumza hapa, yawe ni ya ukweli na tukiulizwa swali tunaweza kutetea. Ninataka kuuliza hoja ya nidhamu kwa rafiki yangu Seneta wa Embu. Amesema kwamba yeye anangoja siku ambayo Serikali itafanya Muguka kuwa na value addition. Ningependa Sen. Mundigi atueleze, kutokana na sayansi yetu, kuna utafiti ambao umefanywa ambapo anaweza kusema kwamba kweli Muguka inaweza kufanyiwa value addition? Ningependa kuelewa kutoka kwa Seneta wa Embu. view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to also make my contribution on the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No. of 2025). Madam Temporary Speaker, this is one of our most important undertakings as Senators to ensure that we truly protect devolution. Our Constitution is clear that we devolve power and resources. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know that you are a champion of devolution having served in the Committee that was implementing the Constitution and that you were good defenders of this Constitution. In fact, I wish that Committee transited to be permanent, so that we truly ... view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: counties, it translates to approximately 21 per cent, although we are being told that it is 25.5 per cent. When I did my calculation, it looks like 21 per cent. We will never see the fruits of devolution if we do not give adequate resources to our counties. Instead, we will be making our counties employment bureaus, where the resources that we send to our counties will be used purely for payment of salaries and overhead expenses. The little balance that remains is used to put murram on our roads. In my opinion, true devolution should mean that the people ... view
• 20 May 2025 in Senate: in Mukuru kwa Njenga, but we do not have an affordable housing project in the County of Nyamira. So, if you are launching projects in Nairobi, how are the people in Nyamira County feeling? We should be innovative. If we are not able to do flats, go down to the villages, to those people who do not have houses and build for them houses. We do not all have to live in flats. If the people in Nairobi are happy to live in flats, go to Nyamira and look at the houses of the poorest homes, build for them homes. ... view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wanted to inform my good friend, the Senator for Kericho County, about the matter he has raised regarding injunctions issued by judges. If you read the report tabled by the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, a petition was indeed filed by the impeached Speaker under Petition No.E001 of 2024. On page 20 of the report, the Speaker swore an affidavit where he sought an interim injunction from the courts to stop or stay the impeachment. However, the records presented before this House indicate that the honourable judge never issued ... view
• 14 May 2025 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
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: heard you make remarks about some judges. Maybe some orders were issued earlier, but regarding the impeachment, no stay orders were issued. Secondly, I heard you tell the Chair that he should proceed to Nyamira and deal with this matter. If you read the report tabled on page 29, the Chair states, and I want the Senate to listen carefully, that the sittings held contrary to the provisions of Section 7(b)(ii) of the County Governments Act are invalid, null and void, and contrary to the law. As you tell the Chair to go to Nyamira, is he going there to ... view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have great respect for my seniors, including Sen. Abass. I have read through the report. He made a remark to the effect that one group is controlled by a Governor and another group is controlled by a Senator. I have read the report that he has tendered before this House from page one to page 30. I do not feature in that Report. Therefore, that statement is not factually correct and that misleading information is being repeated by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you read the proceedings, I do not head any faction of ... view
• 14 May 2025 in Senate: Madam Speaker, I want to begin by thanking all the Senators who have made a contribution towards the Motion that is on the Floor of the House. I would like to emphasize only two things. Madam Temporary Speaker, you are a member of the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations and you know that even the law that was cited in gazetting sittings outside the County Assembly premises was lacking in any legal basis. The Speaker cited Article 126(1) of the Constitution. You and I know that Article 126(1) makes reference to sittings of Houses of Parliament and under ... view
