• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not wish to interrupt the Vice Chairman of the Committee on Health, but I just want your consideration of Standing Order No.90 and the application of it. This is because first time Members might be confused with the application of Standing Order 90 with respect to speeches being read. Your direction is necessary.

• 30 Jul 2019 in Senate: I know Sen. (Dr.) Ali is a very experienced legislator, but to what extent can a speech be read or reference be made? view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I heard you say the Senator of Nairobi County. I would like to confirm that there it only one ‘super’ Senator. Sen. Omanga is well dressed because we are from a function at the biggest integrated school of Muslims and Christians in the country. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Mary Seneta for bringing this important Statement. There are a couple of issues that have emerged since that report was released. We need to get to the bottom of it since it only addressed meat products yet certain unscrupulous traders, with the aim of increasing shelf life, are adding Sodium Sulphite into food, and some medics online say that it is normal. We want to get to the bottom of it so that we know and are able to assure our people that whatever they are consuming is actually suitable for them. Mr. Speaker, ... view

• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: that your sugar has mercury. At lunch time, your ugali has aflatoxin and the meat has sodium. If you go to the house, as a result of the building standards, it may collapse. A Kenyan cannot verify standards of all these things. You enter a vehicle and realise that it is unroad worthy because there is a Bureau that is actually failing the people of this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, our work is to protect the people of this country and assure them that wherever they are operating, there is a Government that is taking care of their interests. Today, ... view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As you give your direction on the matter, kindly let us also know if it is also in order for the Senator for Homa Bay County to defend the witches and whether his discomfort was sitting next to the Senator for Migori County, who is his physical neighbour even in the County. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Deputy Leader of Majority for raising this very important Statement. I think we will not be doing our work as the Senate if we do not critically with time and thoroughly look at the issue of the use of technology within our counties and the IFMIS. A few issues arise. Mr. Speaker, Sir, technology is good, but sometimes technology is an opportunity for those who are bright to steal. They say if you cannot convince them, confuse them.

• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: counties to use and whether they can adapt theirs and if not, what basic standards can cut across. With that, Kakamega and Wajir counties can develop their own that patches on to it. Finally, there must be a standard on the amount of money being taken as a commission by the companies that are being engaged to collect revenue in our counties. In some counties, it is up to six per cent and others, it is 10 per cent of the commission of revenue yet we have a revenue authority that is national and our counties can set up their ... view
