• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Today’s Order Paper talks about reinventing the wheel and, amending the Division of Revenue Bill.

Sen. Kajwang’ will tell you that for the last 10 years, we have been agonising over the legality of county governments funding the COG. Since they have been operating in an illegal framework throughout, the best thing to do is to ... view

• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I hate to interrupt my good brother, the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay County.

We agonized on the legality of the COG. view

• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the Chief Whip is an old dog. He has been in this House for some time. He knows that when there is a point of order--- view

• 8 Aug 2024 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am wondering whether my good friend is now losing his memory. He has just been told that I am on a point of order and he has to be patient. If I can just finish on the clarification, I am seeking from the distinguished Senator for Homa Bay. I would like to know whether that illegality equates to being smart and how we are going to deal with it. I thank you. view
