• 29 Mar 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to reply having moved the Motion on the County Vocational Education and Training Bill. I want to thank all my colleagues who have contributed to debate on this Bill. I want to thank the Senate Majority Leader who employed his institutional memory as a ranking Member of the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Budget to tell the House the origins of this Bill that we started processing in the last Parliament, but was not successful and so we decided to revive it in this House. The Senate Majority Leader cited the ... view

• 29 Mar 2023 in Senate: space for private sector players. When it comes to vocational training, the private sector has played a very important role. It is not the intention of this Bill to regulate every college or every apprentice operation or every training operation around the corner or every driving school. However, in as much as we want a thriving private sector within the vocational training space, there has to be quality, standards, regulation and we must ensure that there is consumer protection. That consumer protection is protection of the students and pupils from exploitation by the owners of those institutions, especially those that ... view
• 29 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a procedural Motion. The best practice for procedural Motions is usually for the Senate Majority Leader to move and get a Member of the other side to second. I believe this matter was discussed in the Senate Business Committee (SBC). Ideally, it should not be a contentious matter. I know that we have been consulting here on whether Standing Orders No.32 and 34 have been violated by this move. I know that my colleagues will be prosecuting that matter. However, in a Senate where we have spent more time fighting than finding common ground, ... view
• 29 Mar 2023 in Senate: The debate that prompted this amendment to the Senate Calendar was rancorous and contentious. We had our say but the Majority side had their way. What we said about the intent of getting the CSs to this House has gone on record and it is in the HANSARD. I do not think this is a Motion for us to speak to the issues that we already prosecuted while debating the Report of the Rules and Procedure Committee. view
• 29 Mar 2023 in Senate: This is quite unavoidable since last week that resolution was carried. However, it will impact on some of the busy Committees, especially those that have scheduled their activities and meetings into the next quarter. Some of those are the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that I chair and the Public Investments and Special Funds Committee which has a fairly busy schedule. From time to time, we might be seeking the leave of the Speaker to have meetings even when the grilling of the CSs is going on. view
• 29 Mar 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, I saw something very interesting. The Former Prime Minister (PM) of the United Kingdom (UK), Boris Johnson, was called before the Rules Committee of the House of Commons. In a session that lasted for three hours and 45 minutes, the Former PM – a man who was extremely powerful and pompous – was reduced to the level of a witness before a Committee. The interesting thing is that being a Parliamentary System, the Former PM was appearing before a Committee of his peers in the Conservative Party and also the Labour Party. We should ... view

• 29 Mar 2023 in Senate: in this House that when a CS comes here, do not look at him as Kenya Kwanza, a man from your tribe or as a friend of yours. Let the Senate be the Senate. If you saw the editorial cartoon in yesterday’s newspaper, parliamentary oversight was depicted as a corpse lying on a slab with many daggers on its back. That tells you the mood of the public as far as the role of this Parliament is concerned. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us use this opportunity to rise above parochial and partisan interests. Let us use this opportunity to ... view
• 29 Mar 2023 in Senate: You work very hard to become the Senator for Meru County and then the person you vanquished becomes a Cabinet Administrative Secretary (CAS). When it comes to the order of precedence, the CAS is now more powerful than the Senator who defeated him in the last elections. These are things that we must fix. I wish to encourage Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, in the 11th Parliament, he came up with an Order of Precedence Bill. We must revive that order of precedence so that those people who are political losers out there – they are still Kenyans and they can get ... view
