Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion for the following three reasons. Reason number one, the Senator for Mombasa, Sen. Faki, wrote two letters to the relevant Committee to consider amending Standing Order No.195, which talks about the membership of the Committee on Delegated Legislation. In his argument, Sen. Faki gave comparative jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia, all of which fall within the Commonwealth. His argument was that statutory instruments originate from the Government of the day. The duty of the Committee on Delegated Legislation is to oversight and confirm that those statutory instruments have ...

The third reason I oppose this Motion is that there was a Presidential Memorandum dated 9th of December 2022. On this, I must turn my guns on the Clerk of the Senate who sets up a task force to consider the Presidential Memorandum without a resolution of the House, direction of the Chair, resolution of any Committee or prompting by any Member on this Floor. We have been here for the last three terms of the Senate. Every time the position of the Clerk of the Senate is being whittled away through amendments to the Parliamentary Service Commission Act, it ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you and the House to welcome the delegation from Homa Bay County Assembly. I congratulate the Hon. Members for choosing to come to the Senate for benchmarking. This is a committee that is charged with the member’s welfare. One interesting thing which is going around Parliament today is the façade of the National Assembly putting up a sign that should be its moto. Its states that “for the welfare of society and the just government of the people”. It has been wrapped around the façade of the National Assembly. I know all my friends, from ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence because my sister, Sen. Ogola, has worked in Homa Bay County Executive as a member of the county executive for 10 years. It will be remiss if she does not get an opportunity to say one word. Therefore, out of my two minutes, I donate one to her.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Senator for Kisii, Sen. Onyonka who is out of the country on official business, I join you in welcoming the delegation from Kisii County Assembly. It is a good thing when county assemblies come to benchmark at the Senate instead of going to foreign countries. It is a practise that we as chairs of committees have encouraged. In the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), every time we have a hearing for a county, we invite the relevant corresponding PAC. I want to assure the delegation through you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, that they will find ...
