• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to also support this particular Bill. Owing to the fact that we derive our mandate from Article 96 of the Constitution of Kenya, it is our cardinal responsibility to ensure that we protect the dignity and the powers bestowed to this House. I do not want to buttress that point beyond what has been said by my colleagues - that Parliament works in Plenary here and through our committees. We enjoy as much powers in our committees as we enjoy here in Plenary. I want to borrow the words used by ... view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: This afternoon we have passed the County Government Additional Allocation Bill, 2024 and I hope it will be assented to, so that more money is sent to counties.

Their work is just ... view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would have been surprised if he had refused to be informed. I want to use the specific words of the governor. The verbatim of what the governor said was that the only people who can hold him accountable are the people of Isiolo and not the Committee of Parliament or the Senate itself. Nobody can talk to him or ask him questions apart from the people of Isiolo. If we cannot act on such a person, then what becomes of the space of Parliament? That is the information that I wanted to pass to my colleague. view
