We also need to have our leadership engage with the President. I do not know where our leadership was when the gracious ladies were engaging H.E the President? Today, they got Kshs1 billion towards NGAAF. Mr. Speaker, Sir, to date, Senators have no money for oversight. I guess maybe if we had money for oversight, we would be able to do capacity building for our MCAs, so that they do not harass our CECMs for mistakes that are not of their making. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Migori County for bringing this Statement to the House. I ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I, first, thank the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, for magnanimously agreeing to have a discussion between him and me with the intention of trying to calm the tension that we have had in the House this afternoon. Leadership is not easy. If you read the book of Judges in the Bible, there were a number of leaders who were anointed by God to lead their people but they made many mistakes along the way. We are all human beings and once in a while, we make mistakes. Everyday, we commence our sessions with ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point I wanted to raise is that as a House we are making reference to a court order, which the Minority side has not seen. However, it seems that the Majority side has a court order and know how it is worded. For purposes of fairness in the debate of this matter, if the court order was supplied to the Majority side, fairness demands that we should also be given a copy. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, the issue I am raising touches on both sides; we need to see a court order. We have all lived ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, your office does not serve the interest of just one day. Your office should serve posterity. If you read our Standing Orders - and I am saying this with a very heavy heart because we are elected leaders from 47 counties with special interest Senators here - changing leadership is a very small matter. I came here to debate a serious issue that transpired yesterday before County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC), where Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is levying distress on my County of Nyamira, for non-payment of PAYE for salaries for the month of December and ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us be serious. If you look at the freedom of Parliament from history, there are days you could not stop hon. Shikuku, in the single party era, from speaking on the Floor because of the respect of the House. I have not seen the court order, but I am extremely saddened that the Senate of the Republic of Kenya can be injuncted by a tribunal, we receive an order and you make a Communication. What are we doing to this country?
