• 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
• 25 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to comment on the three Statements that have been sought by the Senator for Kirinyaga. I will start with the sad Statement he is seeking about Baby Ridhwan Yasir Noor’s finger. It is very sad. The Standing Committee on Health must pronounce itself on these occurrences in our health facilities. It is not fair that every time a Senator comes here seeking Statements on issues that are suspected to be as a result of medical negligence. I do not want to comment because I know the Committee on Health will do ... view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you told us to be quoting the Standing Order we think is out of order, and I want to quote Standing Order 101(3); Contents of Speech. It says- “It shall be out of order to use offensive or insulting language whether in respect of Senators or other persons.” view
