• 20 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir. I said the information I have. This is feedback. M-pesa is not yet available to everybody. Other people have to use their relatives in order access the money. The point I am making is that we have to make older people comfortable. If we can come up with a better system, that will be good. There are quite several issues. The IEBC is key. Having an IEBC that is constituted with the interest of everybody at heart is important. I believe political parties are important tools when it comes to elections and politics. They must have their ... view
• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion. Article 132(1)(c)(i) of the Constitution, which gives the President an opportunity to appear in the House and give a national address, goes on to say that- “The President shall, once every year, report, in address in the nation, on all the measures taken and the progress achieved in realization of the national values referred to in Article 10.” Therefore, Article 10 is key in this address.

The fact that he appears personally, it is important for him to also get a response personally. That is a practice we need to adopt so that this Address and Motion becomes meaningful and sets the country into the right track at the right time. There are many legislators in this House who are very specific ... view
• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Article 125 of the Constitution gives the House powers equivalent to that of the High Court. What happens in the High Court? First, there can be contempt of court at the High Court and when you are contemptuous of the High Court, the judge has powers to order the orderlies who are there within the court to arrest you or be sought by police and be brought before the court. If they do not purge the contempt, then they are committed for either ... view

• 14 Feb 2024 in Senate: Although this may not exactly fall under this particular Act that we are trying to amend, it is probably under the Parliamentary Service Commission Act. For this particular purpose and now that we are dealing with the devolution and serious money involved and most probably from the recommendations of Parliament, a governor or an officer in the county government can be prosecuted. In my own opinion, if Sen. Osotsi or any of us finds it good, we can amend it further to enhance the powers we have. The security wing that we have can also be enhanced in a way ... view
