• 24 May 2023 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very rare for the Speaker to be disorderly. In fact, it should never happen. I am a son of a teacher and I heard you ask the distinguished Senator for Murang’a whether he was a principal or “a mere teacher”. A teacher is a teacher. He or she is a great person who made us come to this House because they gave us the education and the knowledge we have. Perhaps, the most important teacher in our lives is the one who taught us how to read and write. Try teaching your child to ... view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Lamu County brought a very useful Statement, which I thought he would dignify so that we can get a solution to the problems facing the people of Lamu. It is on the issue of compulsory acquisition, broken promises and the marginalization of the people of Lamu over the years. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would ordinarily have responded to Sen. Cherarkey’s preamble before he went into the substantive issues. In fact, I would have encouraged Sen. Osotsi to ignore Sen. Cherarkey and treat his comments with the contempt that they deserve because he ... view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: It is the right of the Minority side. If you are put to perform, for example, in the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Irrigation and you are not performing, then you can be removed. The Senator for Lamu must know that any decision on de-whipping is not because of their infidelity, which is a matter of public knowledge. It is an issue of their individual incapacity to do the work they are supposed to do. view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a lot of respect for every Member in this House, including the Senator for Lamu. I have a lot of personal respect and even the Senator for Nandi; he is my Vice-Chairman. I spend more time with him than with any other Senator because we sit for long hours in Committees. Just like I said of Sen. Cherarkey, if you look at Standing Order No.22 that defines the Senate political leadership. Just like Sen. Cherarkey, I am not the Senate Minority Leader, Deputy Senate Minority Leader, the Whip or the Deputy Whip. I, therefore, ... view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Or infidelity. view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with a lot of personal respect I have for the Senator for Lamu, I do not see any cause to apologize because I gave the parameters within which one could be removed from a committee. It could be because of infidelity or incapacity. The issue of infidelity is a matter of public record. I am not saying he is being removed because of infidelity or incapacity. The leadership of the Minority will perhaps have to tender those reasons. view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if that is deemed necessary, then I will go with the ruling of the Speaker. view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: I hope the HANSARD will capture the emotion of the Member because to offend a Member is an emotional impact. view
• 24 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have an interest in the two Statements requested starting with the one by Sen. Okenyuri. I am the sponsor of the County Boundaries Bill that is before the House. I have asked the Clerk to circulate the Bill and the report of the Committee that considered it. If possible, this House can debate the Bill tomorrow and pass it. This is the solution to the boundary disputes we have in this Republic. view
