• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: happened if they got a Green Card to the US, went to South Africa or UK or any of these countries. The Constitution now provides that one can have dual citizenship if they opt in. This should be automatic unless the Kenyan says he or she does not want to have Kenyan citizenship. Every Kenyan who left the country and lost their citizenship by virtue of being a dual citizen, must be deemed to be a Kenyan again until they opt out. It is their right as opposed to who opts in and now applies to become a Kenyan citizen ... view
• 30 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as we are talking about Teachers’ continuous development, I think we might now need continuous induction in the Senate to remind Senators that we do not cross the Floor without bowing to the Chair. Unlike many politicians who, for whatever reason or maybe lack of better imagination, will tell Kenyans to come back and build Kenya, I told them not to come back here. This is because they moved out of Kenya for a reason. There was something they were looking for. Those countries, for instance, the US, call themselves the land of opportunities. Those opportunities are ... view

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I am a bit perturbed by the very sensible intervention by Sen. Farhiya. I am perturbed not because it is sensible, but because she is the Deputy Senate Majority Whip. If anything, there should be no list in this House without consulting her. As a Member of the Jubilee Party, I am worried because we elected her to be the Deputy Senate Majority Whip. Before a list is brought to this House, the leadership is supposed to sit and agree. Her proposal makes a lot of sense, but I do not know why the Deputy Senate Majority ... view

(2) Provide a report on the feasibility study done by the NMS before the construction of the Green Park Matatu Terminus, the plans around it and the cost of the project.

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, everything that comes from your Chair sets precedent in terms of how the House operates. I just need clarity from you because a Statement and a Motion are two different things. A Statement is to inquire on the status of something. It is to ask questions to the Executive or the relevant agencies to give a view

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: status of how something has been done, or to investigate. The result of a Statement is not a debate in the House. However, a Motion is the House seeking to give a resolution. This is why Bills are called ‘Motions.’ When we discuss a Motion, the House passes a resolution on an issue and the Executive must implement that. Is there any harm in pursuing both apart from the issues of efficiency? We might want to make a resolution on a matter – this is why you can amend a Motion, but not a Statement. A Statement is just to ... view
