• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of Order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I hate to disagree with the Deputy Majority Whip, Sen. Farhiya. I hope she does not take disciplinary action on me. view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: If you look at our Standing Orders in the Second Schedule, the functions of the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources is- view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: “To consider all matters relating to land, settlement, Housing, environment, forestry, wildlife, mining, water resource management and development.” view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: I think we would set a very dangerous precedent if just because the Committee in the past has not delivered on its mandate, we give its mandate to another Committee. It is almost as if the Chair and leadership has given up on that Committee. view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Part of the Standing Orders that we have just gone through earlier today have been the reinvigorating of these Committees. I think with the new energy, it is safer and neater to leave Committees with their mandate as in the Standing Orders and not arrogate to other Committees the functions of substantive Committees. Let us encourage them to do their work. If they do not deliver there are avenues through which we can discipline them. Let it stay where it rightfully should and that is the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources. view

• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Those Members can work on this but just give the timelines within which to operate. Let us not start arrogating functions of specific Committees to others. It sets a very dangerous precedent. view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, if I am not wrong, it sounds like this is directed to my Committee. If it is, in the usual fashion, we shall deliver. Sen. Cherargei should rest assured I will invite him for the meeting. We submit reports and I hope that today you will allow me to move the Seventh Progress Report. We have submitted weekly reports on the COVID-19 situation in counties. I said yesterday that we want to look at all the counties. I saw an outcry from Kenyans saying that Senators just want to spend on per diem. First, they should know ... view
• 24 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I have looked at the statement and at a second glance, if you look at Article 219 of the Constitution that talks about the transfer of equitable share, it says that - “A counties share of revenue raised by the National Government shall be transferred to the county without undue delay and without deduction except when the transfer has been stopped under Article 25.” This is a very core and constitutional issue.
