• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, something very strange has just happened that the person who brought the Statement has given us information that there is now a mid-term break and he said then it is okay. So, has he stepped down the Statement? That is a good thing. There is a break that has been ordered. The framework that allows a policy decision to be made such as no mid-term is what still needs to be questioned because this is reactionary that the Ministry has now said that there will be a break from 19th November, 2021 because of the unrest. The ... view

• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I do not know if you have noticed that one Senator, who I will not mention because his constituents are listening, has applauded by banging the Table. This is an august House. There is precedence on how we applaud in this House. We do so, by stamping our feet. This not a market in--- Let me not mention the county. This is not a bar. Please reprimand him and tell him how Senators--- view
• 2 Nov 2021 in Senate: Should I mention his name? No, I will embarrass him. I am shocked. This is the Senate of the Republic of Kenya and it is in the capital city. A Member is supposed to stamp his feet on the ground to congratulate or show that they are happy with what someone has said. view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. (Dr.) Ali, thank you for accepting to be informed. I would like to inform Sen. (Dr.) Ali and Members that in 2015 we brought amendments to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act. We pushed hard to get the amendments done. They said two things: One, for the PWDs – I would like the petitioner, Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko to hear – the youth and the women who get contracts, the contracting or procuring entity, whether it is a county government, any State agency or the national Government, must only pay into an account where ... view
• 21 Oct 2021 in Senate: Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. In as much as I did not hear the entire Petition, from what I have heard Members contributing--- I have just given you an example where there is a statutory mandate in the law that those issues are directed to the Committee in charge of equalization of opportunities. I would love to deal with it, but they have legal backing from the law that they should receive that report, consider it and giving it to us. I, therefore, ask that you reconsider the Committee. Even though my Committee looks at issues of disability, women, youth, et ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, my deep condolences to the family of Agnes Tirop. As you have described well, this young lady had already changed the lives of her family members. You can imagine the level of hope that people within that community and family had in her and the expectations of the years to come. It is sad that there is a harambee tomorrow for – as Sen. Cheruiyot is saying – a global star. She is being buried on Saturday on her 26th birthday. view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: It is poetic injustice for us to bury Tirop on her birthday as she turns 26, or even do the harambee, she should have gone on for many more years. As the Chairperson of the Committee immediately after this, I commit to Sen. Cherargei and to the House that I will call the Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage and inquire what they are doing to cover all the costs that come with respect to this funeral. We have a sports fund where 90 per cent is being used for Universal Health Coverage (UHC) yet we cannot take ... view
• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: I love what Sen. Cheruiyot has said. This country does not have oil. The one found in Turkana; I do not know what is happening there. We do not have gold and a lot of mineral resources. Our greatest resource is above the ground, it is our people. This is one country where our people excel in all fields. Whether it is human resource going to middle east, Kenyans wherever they are make our country proud. These are view
