• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and I have got full confidence in the Senators who have been proposed to be on this Committee. I wanted to invite you to consider the difference between a special and a select committee in our Standing Orders. We had a debate earlier that would have been best undertaken while discussing this Motion. Select committees are established in our Standing Orders to allow the Senate to execute its mandate by delegating some of its affairs to those select committees. That is the reason why our Standing Orders limit membership of select ... view

• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: but the one power you cannot take away from the Senate is its power to consider impeachment of the President and governors. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge that we do not bring partisan political arguments in the establishment of this Special Committee in order for us to give hope to the people of Siaya. view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Methu is misleading the House by averring that I cleared his outfit in the morning. Indeed, when he walked into the sub- Committee that I was chairing, I was quick to send him to the other sub-Committee that was chaired by Sen. Cherarkey to make the determination. The danger that Sen. Methu poses is that we will be describing everything as religious regalia. I know certain members of sects and cults who can argue that it is religious. For the regalia of the well-registered church called Legio Maria Church whose leader is Papa Melkio Ondeto to ... view
• 15 Jun 2023 in Senate: The next day, he will come here dressed like a Hindu. The next day, he will come as a Shakahola convict. The way he looks emaciated, I am suspecting he has started fasting and starving himself. In a serious regime where our young people are being brainwashed, please, give direction so that we can restore the dignity of this House and ensure that there is some civility in the manner in which we behave or dress. I am afraid Sen. Methu is slowly drifting to the Shakahola sect. It usually starts like this until things get out of hand. view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence to allow me a minute or two to support what the substantive Chairperson of the Committee that deals with climate change matters. It is with regards to the Statement on World Environment Day, 2023. As you know, you have granted me the opportunity to convene the climate change caucus within the Senate. It is one caucus that draws membership in a bipartisan manner. World Environment Day, 2023 fell on Monday as has been communicated by the Chairperson. The caucus had made certain arrangements to plant trees around Uhuru Park. We did not execute ... view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I also want to encourage that when African leaders meet in Nairobi in September under the leadership of President William Ruto, as the Chair of Climate Change Committee of the African Union, Members of Parliament (MPs) should not be left behind. As the Presidents and Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) have a conversation on climate action, as legislators, we should also ensure that our voices are heard. This week the UN Habitat Conference is going on and we have been lucky to get invitations. In fact, this afternoon, Sen. Mumma and Sen. Kibwana had registered to ... view
• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: Finally, I would like to encourage multilateralism. The Paris Agreement is an important tool for multilateral action around climate related causes. We know that when the President was opening the UN Habitat Conference, he made critical remarks about the processes that go about the Paris Agreement. I do not want to believe that the President might be directing us towards a withdrawal from the Paris Agreement which is part of national laws because it has been ratified and domesticated in Kenya. view

• 7 Jun 2023 in Senate: I would like to encourage us that even as we approach multilateralism and Conference of Parties (COP) under the Paris Agreement COP28 or COP29, we do not go as beggars with an inferior attitude or inferiority complex. I believe that is what the President has been calling out. That when we go for COPs and global climate meetings, we should not go as beggars, on our knees and with a begging bowl. The impact of climate change is devastating upon us. The people to blame are the same who want to give us aid, conditions and put us as small ... view
