• 28 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, have you realized that the Senate Majority Leader is reading his notes, report or whatever? I am a proponent of Senate changing its Standing Orders to allow Senators to read their notes if they want like the American Senate. As it stands now, the Standing Orders do not allow anyone to read notes while debating unless with the permission of the Speaker. Did you grant him the permission to read his notes?

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to congratulate Sen. Haji Abdulkadir Mohamed. I have always assumed he is a very young man. Therefore, when I came in, I was joking with him. I realized he was a little bit older than me even though he looks 25 years old. view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we, as a Senate, are privileged to have him here with us. He is a man who has already established his legacy in the Republic. He is a person of integrity, great knowledge and was well mentored by the late Sen. Yusuf Haji. Like many of us have said, we really admired your father. He was a great friend of mine and to almost everybody in this House. I do not know any one person who had an issue with your father. He was a father figure to all of us. He did a fantastic job as ... view

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: were supposedly gaining at that moment in the formula that was presented, who thought that it was possible to defend Kenya and still benefit Elgeyo-Marakwet County. Although many people are saying you need to fit into father’s shoes, it is also possible for you to establish your own shoes. Establish your own legacy, learn from the mistakes of your father, but also emulate the many positive attributes that he had, so that you can establish yourself as a leader at your own right. You only have 16 months before you face another election. You came here, not because people sat ... view
• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary, Speaker, from the onset, I want to state that I support the Bill and the amendments that have been proposed by the Committee. I congratulate the Committee for doing a good job. They have advised the House on matters concerning the conditional grants. As per the decision of the court, the Division of Revenue Bill should only deal with shareable revenue between the two levels of the government. It should not be shrouded by other conditional grants, which mislead the public that the counties are getting a lot of money, yet that money is not shared equitably among ... view

• 13 Apr 2021 in Senate: are supposed to ensure that the counties are resourced. They should follow the Constitution and ensure that our counties get money on time. The people at the county level require resources. I am a proud Senator of Elgeyo-Marakwet County and Senator in this Chamber. It is good to see that the effort we put in since 2013, the fights that we had in the courts and the fight to be respected by both levels of government have borne fruits. It is good to be able to eventually sit in this House, in our lifetime and celebrate the benefits of hard ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg to second the amendment to the Motion. Madam Deputy Speaker, there is a very important point that Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo- Ayacko is making that, perhaps, we may lose as a Senate. The reason why the Constitution of 2010 was amended and to take out powers from anybody else even the Speaker or the Executive in determining the calendar of the House, including the procedures of this House, was because there is a history where the Executive used to manipulate Parliament in the old days. This amendment is very important. It may look so ... view
• 30 Mar 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, please, protect me from Sen. Cheruiyot. Thank you very much. Madam Deputy Speaker, I am saying this with utmost respect that time is not on our side. I hope it has occurred to all of us that there are only 16 months to the elections. view
