• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I did not stand to disagree with the provision of the Standing Order on the quorum of this House. However, in the same spirit, I am looking at the side of the Senate Minority from which the very distinguished Sen. Madzayo is a leader. He is the only one in the Chambers; just one person out of the many who are on that side. As we ring the Quorum Bell, it is also a challenge to him. As the leader, he should speak to his colleagues and tell that they should not desert duty and run away ... view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would not have wanted to disrupt my big brother, Sen. Sifuna, but it is fair I quote Standing Order No. 105- Responsibility for Statement of Fact - “A Senator shall be responsible for the accuracy of any facts that the Senator alleges to be true and may be required to substantiate any such facts instantly.” view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I find the argument of Sen. Sifuna misleading that the more amount of money we sent to counties, the more MCAs will get because capping of what the MCAs or any public servant earns is by the SRC. view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: Even if we were to send Kshs1 trillion to the counties and money has been capped at Kshs86,000, the county assembly or county Government cannot raise their salaries. Sen. Sifuna is contributing to a Statement that has not been sought. What Sen. Cherarkey sought this afternoon is a review by the SRC and not a review by DORA, the Senate or by anybody. The only body that has that mandate is the SRC. view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Veronica Maina was my Secretary General. So, whatever she says, I have to second. view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Joe Nyutu is your Senator. I am sure that he would not want to give you a title that does not belong to you. I rise to comment on these two Statements that have been sought by my neighbour and colleague, Sen. Joe Nyutu. I shall start with the first on Murang’a County Creameries. Those of us who come from agricultural counties are strongly opined and believe that the breakthrough for our farmers shall come when we start processing our produce. As it is the case for Nyandarua County, which is the leading producer ... view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: County and all of us. We must know what plans the County Government of Murang’a has in place to reviving the creamery. My second and last comment is on the Statement sought on the increasing cases of GBV against men. He is very specific on men. Every time there is GBV against a man, people joke about it. If you find for whatever reason a man is being abused or it has come to the attention of the public, you can imagine how much more that man has had to bear in silence before it comes to the public. Madam ... view
• 6 Jun 2023 in Senate: Yes, my Chairman of the caucus can dully inform me. I know he was attending very serious Government business. I did not know he was meticulous enough to finish and come back in good time. However, the point I was making was that, especially from our region; every time a case comes up, it will most likely be from Nyeri or Kirinyaga and remotely from Nyandarua Counties because most of us are settlers from the other counties. This campaign against GBV must cut across for men and women. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you. view
