at a time of a pandemic. We have a serious pandemic in the country to deal with it. As a result of the measures that were put in place, many businesses have closed, many have been left jobless and then we increase the prices. This is something that shocks me. Many countries in the world, led by the United States of America (USA) through their new President, have adopted measures and policies to help mwananchi. President Joe Biden has adopted the bottom-up or centre- wide approach, where a lot of funds have been disbursed to help the poor. Social funds ...

Sen. Khaniri, beyond your Petition just coming here, we need to encourage more citizens of this Republic, through public interest litigation, to go to court and stop these orders. How come the ERC is always increasing the price of fuel? Mr. Temporary Speaker, I have never seen any member of ERC holding public participation in Korogocho, Kibera or Embobut where I come from. How come they just wake up one morning and increase or reduce the price of fuel without proper public participation? They never reduce. In fact, if they have the power to increase, why do they not ever ...

Faki and the Deputy Minority Leader, Sen. Madzayo. The changes that are taking place in this House are very confusing. The way people are being removed from positions in this House is like firirinda dance . Sen. Pareno is here and all my seniors are here. The only junior who is here and I pride myself in is my student, Sen. Cherargei. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. The proposal to bring the governor before our debate is one of those very important innovations that we are putting forward after learning from experience. Since the governor already knows the verdict of the Committee, coming before us is like an appeal. Therefore, it is better he makes his case first before we can sit, canvass and make a determination. If I will have made my position known during the debate before the governor speaks, it becomes even a contradiction for me to vote after that, having been convinced by the governor, yet I am ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Considering the request that came from the Governor’s lawyer, in this very difficult time, it is not surprising to find anybody falling ill. It is possible. However, we should find the right Standing Order for us to adjourn for a certain period of time. Is it not in order for either the Senate Majority Leader or Senate Minority Leader to move a Motion for adjournment? Is it purely at the discretion of the Speaker?
