• 29 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have read Standing Order No.101 and I concur with the Senate Majority Whip on a statement of such nature. Unless it is proven by a court of law that a holder of a public office, who is subject to this House has been the one making such allegations, it would be improper for this House to keep that statement on record. My concern is on the status of this House. If we can discuss holders of other public offices, where does it put us in terms of our impartiality? I also request that the personal statement ... view
• 29 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to make some brief comments on the statement brought by Sen. Eddy on consumer protection. It is disheartening to hear that senior citizens are now falling prey to fraudsters who are targeting their retirement income. When I heard that statement being read by Sen. Eddy, I asked myself where the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) is. Although that is a big problem worldwide, when you look at other jurisdictions, Members of the Congress have discussed this issue. They ended up inviting financial institutions and consumer protection bureaus to understand what they should do to protect ... view
• 27 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by the distinguished Senator from Kakamega County. It is imperative that we clarify this matter. The issue of uncertainty when you are an employee is not the best. I am sure most of us have gone through that process before the announcement of results is done by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). I call upon NHIF or SHA to make a determination of how many of the NHIF employees are going to be absorbed permanently. I know there are those who have requested to be transferred to ... view
• 27 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If the Senate Majority Leader had not pointed at me, I would have had a different opinion. However, I do rise to second. It is imperative that everything we do, we seek guidance from the Higher Almighty, given that we are going through difficult times. Difficult times require special prayers to allow us to navigate these challenges of either abductions or others. We just need to go and kneel before God and seek protection. I, therefore, beg to second. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 27 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not ready. view
• 27 May 2025 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to make some brief comments. Noting that you are seated there, I would like to let the people of Bomet County know that you have done a good job in making sure that approximately Kshs74 million will be going to Bomet County for the Community Health Promoters (CHPs), and approximately Kshs21 million towards the doctors' arrears. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Narok County is equally--- view
• 27 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am trying to do my job here despite the fact that my voice is gone, but it is fine. I still have to come back and work. It is important that all of us should be here, because this is our primary goal as Senators. view
• 27 May 2025 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, can you, please, protect me from your colleague and also my brother, who wants the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and I do not want it? I will not mention his name. The issue here is that it is important for all of us to be here because this is what brought us here; to fight for money to go to our counties. Every single day, doctors are protesting outside Parliament. They are demonstrating, asking for their money. I am sad that it has taken us almost to the end of the financial year to ... view
• 27 May 2025 in Senate: amount each county receives, they get that money back to develop that county? Why is it that only 10 counties are receiving the court fines? Secondly, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and I wish the Chairperson of the Senate Committee of Finance and Budget was here. I have not seen the royalties from minerals. We produce a lot of gold in Narok County. Why have we not received the money from royalties? The only thing you are giving Narok County is money to pay the Community Health Promoters, which is little, around Kshs49 million, and Kshs21 million in arrears to pay ... view
• 27 May 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I just thought that I must remind the House that during the last revenue formula debate, we benefited a lot by engaging our budget office here as well as the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
