• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: Your candidate is Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, a man I respect very much. He is my mzee. Right now, Hon. William Ruto, who is my candidate, is in Kenya view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: which, of course, you know. Let the best man win, but let us protect devolution. I hope the Senate Majority Leader know that we will not move on DORA until we get the Conditional Grants Bill signed into law by the President. view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know our Standing Orders say that a Senator must be responsible for making a statement of fact. That IBEC has the Deputy President, but it is also filled with governors. Now you can never cry more than the bereaved. It is a big shame to these governors because they all said - and you remember when we had these fights - that they were happy with that amount and that it is us who want more money to go to them. So, how would they have been overruled? You cannot blame the Deputy President because he ... view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senate Majority Leader has not even indicated what is out of order. I quoted the Standing Order 100 states that a Senator must be responsible for a statement of fact. I am happy we have a blue Standing Order with both Kiswahili and English versions. We will be using it more. Senate Majority Leader, we normally follow these procedures. You are the one who did not tell us which Standing Order you stood on. view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. Omogeni is losing the real point he is making by trying to pander to politics. The Standing Order 100 is clear about statement of fact. You cannot say that the CoG had a proposal that is different from IBEC. Who makes up IBEC? Under Section 187 of the PFM Act, it is chaired by the Deputy President, the Cabinet Secretary Finance, a representative from the Parliamentary Service Commission, Judicial Service Commission and Commission of Revenue Allocation, the Chairperson of the Council of Governors is there plus the 47 the County ... view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, just because he has googled does not make it a fact. Substantiate by giving us the official documentation of CoG’s proposal, remember CoG sits in IBEC. Tell us how the CoG countered its own proposal. He has until the next sitting day to bring those facts or withdraw. You cannot say because you have seen something on google; it could be on a WhatsApp group in Nyamira. That is not a fact and is not admissible document. Newspapers are not admissible in the Senate, we deal with documents. Let him table the actual offer by CoG ... view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, what is not coming out clearly is that I have no issue with the implied understanding of what happened. However, the Senator has made a Statement of fact. That is what I am asking to be substantiated. view
• 24 Mar 2022 in Senate: The Senator has made a Statement of fact saying that the COG asked for Kshs700 billion then it was reduced by the Deputy President to Kshs370 billion. I do not care about that inference. Where was this request of Kshs700 billion by the COG of made? Is it a fact that the COG asked for Kshs700billion? If that cannot be substantiated, it must be withdrawn. As simple as that. Who did they ask? Where was it tabled? Did they ask in a Committee where they sat or a press conference? Was there a letter? view
