already done a quarter of the financial year, July, August, September, and so far, there has been no movement at all. There are reports waiting to be concluded. There are public participation activities that need to be done. All these will require Members to volunteer and attend those meetings. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I propose that you hold a Kamukunji so that these issues can be discussed by all the Members and the Chairs of those committees. I know you are Chair of the Liaison Committee. However, the committee might not be pushing hard enough so that the interests of ...

In my seven years in this House, I know there is a budget that comes from the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) to the Senate. When it arrives at the Senate, who budgets that money? Who amongst the Members here makes a decision on how that money is supposed to be used? I know, we, as Members are accountable to our people.

The clarification I am seeking is, we need to have Kamukunji as soon as possible. In fact, this Kamukunji should have been held before we opened the House yesterday so that Members can be briefed on what is happening so that committees can be vibrant again. Most of the committees are taking issues of the public limelight so that they can get that mileage in the press. However, in reality, most of the committees are struggling in terms of quorum. Most of our business is transacted through committees. If the committees are not meeting, then it means we will only ...

I am trying to understand this procedure. What I understand is that, whatever evidence that was before the County Assembly is what was brought here. Now, if they are bringing in new evidence, I do not think it is admissible.

Asante, Bi. Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa fursa hii kuchangia Taarifa kadhaa. Taarifa ya kwanza imeletwa na Sen. Cherarkey kuhusu biashara ya majani chai katika soko la Mombasa. Hapo awali, Bunge la Seneti lilipitisha kanuni ambazo ziliipatia Serikali mamlaka ya kuweka bei ya majani chai chini. Kutokana na kanuni hizo, uuzaji wa majani chai umedorora kwa sababu majani chai hayauzwi kulingana na mahitaji ya soko. Bei katika soko huru inapatikana kutokana na wingi wa majani chai na upungufu wa haja yaani demand and supply factors . Kuweka bei ya kudumu ya chini ya majani chai imefanya soko kudorora. Mara nyingi, ...

Mpaka sasa, tumepata medali moja ya dhahabu pekee katika mbio za mita 1,500 za wanawake. Haya ni matokeo duni sana kulingana na vile ambavyo tumekuwa tunafanya katika michezo hii. Haya yametangamana na udhaifu wa Serikali kuwekeza kikamilifu kwa michezo hii. Tumeona mkimbiaji kama Faith Kipyegon akishinda mbio nyingi hapo nyuma. Aliweka na kumiliki rekodi nyingi za ulimwengu nafikiri katika mbio za mita 1,500 na 5,000. Yeye ndiye mmiliki wa rekodi ya dunia. Lakini, juzi hakuweza kufua dafu. Labda alikuwa amechoka au kuumia akijaribu kufikia kiwango kile cha michezo ya Olimpiki. Tungependa kuwe na uwazi wa uchunguzi wa matokeo haya duni. ...
