• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: Sen. Khaniri of Vihiga is not a frivolous Senator. He is not a Senator who brings on the Floor of this House very tenuous issues that the Chair can overlook or the House can sweep under the carpet. He does his work well. view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: He brought here a very important matter that the budget of Vihiga County has been paralyzed and so there is no water, there are no salaries, they cannot put medicines in hospitals and they cannot provide basic services to wananchi . I have no doubt that the Chair on that day who is the substantive Speaker himself felt the pain of the people of Vihiga and directed that the committees go to Vihiga on Monday. view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: Pardon! view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: The Chair is perpetual. So, whether it was the substantive Speaker or you, the pain was felt by the Chair. It could have been you or another Member of the Panel but it is the authority of the Chair that we are talking about. view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: The Speaker directed the two committees to go to Vihiga on Monday. At the time I left this Chamber, I heard the Chief Whip of the Opposition, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. with whom we sit in the same committee with my distinguished sister here, saying that they were going to arrange either a flight to Kisumu or even choppers to go and mitigate the problem in Vihiga. How that changed is a matter that the Chair must demand a proper, cogent and clear explanation from the Chairs, because the Chair can never act in vain. view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: When you give a direction, it has only one response; obedience and nothing else. The committees mirror what we do in plenary. We cannot act at the convenience of any of the parties we want to deal with; whether those parties are governors or any other members of the public. view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: So, Madam Deputy Speaker, I urge that you demand on our Chairs – the Chair in the committee we sit in with Sen. Farhiya who she tried to apologise on behalf and she should not and the Chair of Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations – explain to the House first, why they did not go to Vihiga on Monday and secondly why they went outside the direction of the Chair to negotiate with a party that is supposed to appear before them to get a convenient date of appearance. Thirdly, they should also explain when they are going to ... view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: I thank you. view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Facts are very stubborn because they remain facts. In the Committee on Finance and Budget where the distinguished lady from Wajir who is a hardworking Member and I have a lot of regard for her because she is very brilliant but that brilliance does not give an attitude to say what is not true on the Floor. view
• 21 Jul 2021 in Senate: Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is a Member of the Committee and he confirmed. I am a Member of the Committee and I confirmed. If she, the Chairman and Sen. Nyamunga were available, then we were five but the quorum is three. It is casting aspersions on Members of the Committee that we are either irresponsible or not taking our work seriously because we are not available even when the Speaker has given a directive. We were available. view
