Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to speak on this Statement. I want to begin by thanking Sen. Khaniri for coming up with this Statement. Sen. Khaniri is speaking on an issue that is live and real on the ground. I remember when I was growing up, about 35 years ago - and I know quite a number of Senators were not born then - about 35 years ago, when I was in Vihiga County where I originally came from, I could see my grandfather planting tea leaves. He was a very good farmer who was ...

I condole with the family of Mr. Ochieng’, Ms. Karen, and all those who lost their lives during this time. Indeed, it is very painful that the lives of sole bread winders have been taken away due to the murders. This has implications on their families. When it comes to school fees and other basic needs, their families will be deprived. Article 43(3) of the Constitution says that the state shall provide security for people who are not able to provide security for their significant others. This is a socio- economic right that we should endeavor as a Senate to ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker for giving me time to comment on this Statement. I thank Sen. Shiyonga for bringing this issue on the Floor of the House. Article 28 of our Constitution is very clear about human dignity. We need to respect and protect human dignity. It is unfortunate that the CS uttered such words to Mr. Mbaka. It is painful that he did not empathize. He never put himself in the shoes of Mr. Mbaka. For someone to say in Kiswahili “ Wewe ni mjinga ” to someone who has children and has gone through the system was ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for complementing our own who is now the Vice-President of the United States of America (USA). I begin by thanking Sen. Omanga for coming up with this important Statement. When it comes to sporting activities, we need to know that sports plays a big role in the lives of people. Ordinarily, when teams come together for sporting activities, there is the spirit of team building and friendliness that is embraced, during that time. The spirit of endurance also comes in when people engage in sports. Additionally, we also experience cardiovascular benefits from sporting activities. ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I just want Sen. Cherargei to confirm to us whether the PS is Nancy Macharia as he says. Just make it clear before the Floor of the House because we have Nancy Macharia, who is the CEO of Teachers Service Commission (TSC). Is she the same one you are referring to?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Kindly allow me to thank Sen. Were for bringing this Statement on the Floor of this House. It is actually a practice that companies that are doing very well and are moneyed take advantage of branding themselves. They are using the money they have to ensure that they have more customers at the expense of other companies. This is a situation that should be interrogated in the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization where I sit. It would be very good for Sen. Were also to take us through as ...
