• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope there are now Senators online to contribute to the Motion. At least I see we have one who can be able to contribute to it. However, let me repeat. I beg to move that pursuant to Standing Order Nos. 28 and 29, the Senate do adjourn until Tuesday, 30th November, 2021. This is in line with the readjustment of our Senate Calendar to give us an opportunity to participate in the annual Devolution Conference. It will be something that will help us interact with the county governors to support the issue of devolution. I ... view

• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: which is a bit short, about a week, will give us an opportunity to now explain to our constituents what it is that we do for them in the Senate. A lot of them will say Senator hajajenga bara bara, the Senator has not built a hospital for us, Senator hakuna kitu ametuletea . Where is your development record? Senators do not give you a development record. These are things that constituents need to understand. What Senators do is to fight for you to get more money. Once you get that money the MCAs on the ground are the first ... view

• 18 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to reply. Let me thank my dear sister Sen. Were for seconding this Motion. I just want to remind our colleagues that when we come back from the recess, we have many Bills in the Order Paper that require all the Senators to be here. At least if we can get 24 Senators online or a few Senators to vote for these legislations, it will encourage those Senators who worked tirelessly and our secretariat who have always been there. They spend sleepless nights to research for the legislations that we pass in ... view

• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to remind this House about what we have addressed in the past. I do not know whether we have selective amnesia or it depends on who is sitting on that seat. You made a ruling on this matter in this House earlier on and the HANSARD will bear me witness. Let me put it very clearly that I do not blame the Speaker. I blame the Chairpersons of the Committees. In the Committee that I seat, when we refuse to accept the Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) sometimes the Chairpersons says “No, it is okay let ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I request that you make it mandatory that if it is the CS who has been summoned or invited, the Committee shall not entertain any other person apart from the CS. Secondly, the Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS) has got no constitutional authority to appear before a Committee of the Senate because it does not have a constitutional responsibility. Article 187(2)(b) is very clear. It is the county government who that function has been devolved to that has the constitutional responsibility. If we are clear and the Committee Chairpersons remain firm and only demand for the CSs to ... view
