• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Let us survive the way we have been surviving, so that Senators can work even on Petitions in this House. I will request Director Njenga Ruge to give you some time, so that you listen to us. view
• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most of the Petitions in this House are brought by citizens. When we stay with Petitions for five or six months without responding to them and they have been brought by some communities who are either oppressed, or because they have issues, this House looks very bad to the public. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: That is why we should have a discussion on whether we need the Cabinet Secretaries appearing before this House, whether we should revert to our usual tradition and which system is working for the Senate. This is so that we expedite our work. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was reporting that we have more than 400 Statements, which have not been responded to. These statements have been brought to this House by Members, fellow Senators. When we meet at the Liaison Committee like we will be doing today at 1.00 p.m., we will have no alternative, but to just read figures ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: It is not good for a Cabinet Secretary to call the Speaker on phone that they will not appear or call the Senate Majority Leader. No! These Cabinet Secretaries should do correspondence. The Clerk of the Senate writes directly to the Principal Secretary, communicating anything from the Senate. The same way, only the Principal Secretary should communicate to the Clerk of the Senate. This letter should be null and void because this is what we call in Kiswahili, madharau . view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we need the Senate to be treated the way it should be treated. When you see us, we are very honourable people, even out there. However, the way these Cabinet Secretaries are treating us is just like primary or high school boys. This House should be respected and at no time, as Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have put it, should we come here to wail and cry, but action should be taken. The Senate Majority Leader should not bother calling any Cabinet Secretary to appear here. We will use Standing Order No.51(d) promptly on the one not ... view

• 24 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must be very responsible sometimes when prosecuting our debates. I want to know whether Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has evidence that is incriminating the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. It is an ongoing investigation. Also, where he sits, he does not sell or supply fertilizer directly to the people of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the Cabinet Secretary is not before the Floor of this House, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale should not use the privilege that he has to malign or soil the names of other Kenyans. If he has the evidence, then he should table ... view
