• 17 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. I have one question for Hon. Mutuse, on the witness by the name Peterson Njomo Muchira, who swore an affidavit that touches on Olive Garden Hotel. He offered himself to appear and be cross-examined on the content of his affidavit. Was he invited? view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to support the Motion on the report from the Pan-African Parliament (PAP). As has been mentioned by our Chair and able leader of the delegation the Hon. Sen. Mungatana, MGH, I am a Member of this delegation. I really appreciate the work that goes on in the PAP. It is out of the coming together of the African nations that we can realise the real development of the continent. As it was mentioned by Sen. Mumma, it is surprising that the boundaries that we have today have disadvantaged the continent more ... view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: were established by colonialists and not by ourselves. Families were separated due to this. These boundaries are either roads, rivers, or lakes. They make absolutely no sense. One good example is the river that divides Uganda and Kenya which divided the Awori family. We had our own former Vice-President Moody Awori on the Kenyan side. At the same time, he was Vice-President, there was a Minister in Uganda called Aggrey Awori. They were brothers from the same father and mother following one another in birth. However, the river divided their land and this resulted in some being Ugandans and others ... view
• 9 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a modern law that has come on agriculture. I hope as a House, we will be able to adopt and cause our own laws to be changed. We are happy that Esther Passaris, a member of the PAP is also a member of the Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, Aquaculture and Rural Development. She will table the modern law and transmit it to this House. Once it comes to this House, we will use it to amend the law. We know agriculture is predominantly devolved and this is the House that should make decisions. Therefore, ... view

• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I congratulate the Cabinet Secretary and welcome him to the House. I worked with him in the 10th Parliament in the Committee on Finance and Budget. I know how sharp he is. He is truly the new broom in the House. However, I had a problem with his first response when he referred us back to the individual ministries to get pending bills. Does it mean that the National Treasury does 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 ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: not know the amount of these pending bills and does not have these records? Our assumption is that all the other ministries as far as money is concerned, respond to the National Treasury and when they have pending bills, they pending bills, they should be talking to Treasury. That was an important question that we needed to know the link between the ministries and the National Treasury as far as pending bills are concerned. Do they not have the data? view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I start by thanking the Members who contributed to this Motion. The Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference is a very important occasion for members of the Commonwealth to discuss many issues on governance, democracy, and status of various countries. I am very happy that the Members have captured this also in their discussions. I mentioned that out of a presentation from the leader of delegation from Kenya, the Rt. Hon. Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetangula, a proposal was put forward, which we think will be accepted by many members and will actually transform the ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not want to add more because Members contributed very well. Therefore, I beg to move and request that you defer the putting of the question to a later date. view
