Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the invitation that Sen. Cherargei is inviting us to participate in the OGP, I would like to inform Sen. Cherargei that we are the ones who started OGP, the open Parliament working group. That was before he was lucky to come to Parliament. We are grateful that he has taken its leadership now. I would like to inform him to pick up from where we left with Hon. Jessica Mbalu in the last Parliament. It is a very important element of Open Government Partnerships (OGP). Apart from focusing on the Executive, there is an ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Khaniri continues to distinguish himself as a Senator who clearly and consistently brings issues that are affecting not just the people of Vihiga but also the people of Kenya. I would like to thank Sen. Khaniri, my distinguished elder brother for bringing this. I do not know what words can be used truly to express the situation that many Kenyans are going through. Things are tough. We need to move beyond just commiserating with them. I like the example that Sen. Cheruiyot has used of people in my county. Many people in ivory towers think ...

Nairobi which will actually help in future but it does not make sense because there is nothing that is left in their pocket at the end of the day. Many a times we would say when it goes up by Kshs2 you will not feel it. However, even I have noticed that when I fuel my vehicle there is an actual pinch now that you can notice the difference. Before you would not necessarily notice. What about that common mwananchi? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to you to exercise your discretion; when you sit on that Chair you ...

Asante, Bi. Spika wa Muda. Sikuwa nimepanga kuzungumza kwa Lugha ya Kiswahili lakini kama Sen. Cheruiyot anaweza kuzungumza Kiswahili, hakuna yule ambaye hawezi. Bi. Spika wa Muda, wajua katika taifa letu tuko na wale ambao ni Nilotes, Bantus na Cushites. Wale ambao wametoka katika ukoo wa Nilotes wakizungumza Kiswahili kwao ni changamoto kubwa sana. Haswa, wakijaribu wanaweza kujikwaa au kuteguka. Ni ngumu sana hasa kwa wale wametoka Nyanza. Lakini hata sisi wengine tukijaribu wengine wetu tumezaliwa Nairobi na Kiswahili chetu ni kile cha mtaa. Nakumbuka Rais Suluhu akisema ana enjoy akisikia tukizungumza Kiswahili chetu. Ningeomba Sen. Madzayo, Seneta wa Kilifi ...

ulimwenguni inaweza kubadilishwa kwa muda mchache sana kwa sababu ya kiongozi mmoja. Bi. Spika wa Muda, Rais Samia Suluhu hajakuwa Rais kwa muda mrefu. Hapo awali kulikuwa na fikra ambazo hazifai kati ya nchi zetu, lakini kwa muda mfupi sana, taswira au mandhari ya kisiasia na uhusiano wetu umebadilika. Amerudisha matumaini kwamba, Kenya na Tanzania ni nchi zinazoweza kuangaliana kama ndugu. Tuna mengi ambayo tunakubaliana nayo kuliko yale ambayo hatukubaliani nayo. Bi. Spika wa Muda, alinikumbusha kuhusu Waziri Mkuu wa Singapore, Lee Kwan Yew, ambaye alibadili nchi ya Singapore. Jirani wao wa Malaysia walikuwa wamekataa kuungana nao. Alisema kwamba hakuna ...
