• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Judiciary. The Judiciary, love or hate it, need resources because they play a very critical role. Many of the cases that go to court are disputes between citizens. Some of them are commercial disputes as opposed to issues relating to administration or constitutional rights or even the public law sector like criminal law. In order to make an economy function properly, you need a dispute resolution system that works efficiently. Without the Judiciary getting sufficient funds, you can see what they are getting as a percentage of money that is available to the national Government. That is not good enough. ... view
• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Cherargei is fond of getting some time when I am speaking, so that when he goes back home to Nandi and Kapsabet, he can ask people whether they heard how he argued with Orengo and that gets him some points. I am ready to live with that. What I am saying is in this document that we are looking at. You have a copy of this Bill stating what you will get in this financial year. Counties will get 26.17 per cent. Out there, there is a proposition that this figure should not be 26.17 per ... view

• 22 Mar 2022 in Senate: Overall, on the question as to whether this Bill meets the constitutional requirements, yes, it does. This is because the minimum percentage that should go to the counties is 15 per cent. It seeks to allocate more than 10 per cent of the minimum required under the Constitution. The case I am making is that it could have been better. I therefore commend the Bill to the House. This is the last such Bill before this Senate. Some of us will be here, some of us will not be here, but I know that the decision that we will make ... view
• 23 Feb 2022 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I truly do support this Motion. As you know, it is a very important Motion in terms of naming and appointing the Members of these two crucial Committees. They are Sessional Committees. Every year we have to reconstitute these two Committees: the CPAIC and the Committee on Delegated Legislation. I think overall the Committees have done well over the years, except that, in the future, the CPAIC is going to restructure. There was a time when Sen. M. Kajwang’ was very instrumental in trying to suggest ways of expediting business for this Committee because under ... view

• 8 Feb 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second and beg that, unless there are very serious concerns about the proposed names, without that committee, it will be difficult to start business commencing tomorrow. In the other House, when they could not agree on the names, they had to adjourn the House until another House had to be convened. Therefore, I second and hope that at the rise of the House, the House Business Committee will be able to sit and determine the business that will come to the House tomorrow going forward. As we said, this is a very important period. ... view
• 8 Feb 2022 in Senate: On a point of information. Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 8 Feb 2022 in Senate: I want to inform Sen. Khaniri. He is quite justified in giving those comments. However, we have had an experience where if we do not have the Whips in the Senate Business Committee (SBC). It is very difficult to whip up Members for business which has already been decided upon by the SBC. For that reason, the Minority Side has their Whip, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., who is from the Wiper Party. We also need to whip the other section of Members of Parliament (MPs) and so we have Sen. Kwamboka. In terms of leadership, in my absence, if my ... view
