• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Information System (IFMIS). I believe in automation and that IFMIS is a good solution if implemented properly. The e-procurement module of IFMIS has been rigged in many circumstances to disadvantage the youth and PWDs. I support the Petition. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the Communication and the Message from the National Assembly. However, if my memory serves me right, the relevant Committee has already laid their Paper, which has been processed by the Senate. Does this mean that we have to start the process afresh? This is because it would appear that the Senate has already made a resolution on the matter. view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to thank Sen. Kwamboka for bringing this matter. I contribute to it with a heavy heart because not too long ago, Homa Bay County was among the leading counties in teenage pregnancies even before this COVID-19 pandemic came to the fore. Sexual intercourse with a minor is defilement, and it is criminal. For 380,000 teenage pregnancies, there are 380,000 criminals involved. Our prisons can only hold 52,000 people. This means that for us to deal with this matter from a criminal justice system perspective, we need to build six times more prisons than we have ... view
• 7 Jul 2020 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, that means that the penal approach is not the solution. We must find a way of bringing up our children in a manner that will discourage and incentivize them to hold on to their virginity and purity until the right age. We can ride or mount the high horse and talk about things that children should do that we were not doing before. We have set up institutions, including the National Government Affirmative Action Fund that is run or patronized by our women representatives sitting in the National Assembly. What are they doing to conduct civic education ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I must say that I have experience in disrupting the Business of the House. I have filibustered, I have blown whistles, I have made noise and all sorts of things. Today, the nation is looking at the Senate and seeks to find whether the Senate is living up to its expectation of defending counties and their governments. I realise why certain political parties in this Republic need a Parliamentary Group Meeting (PGM). This is because what some of their Members are trying to prosecute on the Floor of this House are issues that should be dealt with ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the elders say that it is only a foolish fly that follows a carcass to the grave. If this House is dead, then get off the skin of that carcass. Would I be in order to request that we go back to the substantive issues because Sen. Olekina raised more substantive issues than others that should be sorted out in political party caucuses? view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the petitioner in this case is not an idler, but the Chief Executive Officer KEPSA that is Madam Karuga. I have interacted with her a lot. Annually you organise the Speaker’s Roundtable with the private sector. By the time the private sector decides to bring a Petition to this House, this affirms the confidence they have in this House. I do hope in our conduct of business today and into the future we shall conduct ourselves in a manner that lends credence to that perception out there. The gist of this Petition is that we are implementing ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Ndwiga is my Chairperson in a Committee and I have immense respect for him. However, we have a rule in our Standing Orders about anticipating debate and the outcome of a process. He gives me the impression that he is anticipating that one approach will lead to a certain end and another shall lead to another end. Is it proper for a very distinguished Senator and long serving Member of Parliament (MP) to anticipate the debate and decision of this House? view
• 16 Jun 2020 in Senate: On a point of order. view
