• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: I do not know whether you mentioned that Sen. Orengo and I last week got a favourable ruling in your favour, and in favour of this House. We would like to exploit that ruling to the fullest extent possible. Many of these Members have spent a lot of time drafting Bills. This will be a good opportunity for them to get their Bills signed into law. This will be a great opportunity for the 23 Bills that you have agreed with Speaker Muturi that are pending, to be tabled and passed into law as quickly as possible. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I suggest a Session amongst us where we can agree to work outside these cameras is important. The Clerk is here. We can find a budget for a retreat, for particularly the Bills. We must sit down and craft a timeframe for work, because somewhere in the middle of this Session, there is going to be politics and we will not be able to work. It is important that we clear the most urgent business as quickly as possible. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am going to request and follow up on what Sen. Wetangula has said. There are people in the Executive who are taking you and us for granted. We spend a lot of time here discussing the Revenue Sharing Formula and so on, and so forth. When the National Treasury published the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) without consulting leadership, it is nearly insubordination. The “take or leave” that has been the theatre of every Division of Revenue Bill is being repeated. They then start painting the Senate as the people who are anti- development, anti-handshake and all ... view
• 9 Feb 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can assure you that I will not whip Members to pass Section 326. I will sit her and wait for it to fail. It will not happen. They will not agree. After the effort that we put in last year, it is important that the National Treasury consults the leadership of this House or sits with us. They cannot appear to take us for granted. Therefore, another round of consultation is necessary for yourself and the top leadership, if not the Senate Business Committee; that you sit with the National Treasury and the Executive, and tell ... view
• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I second. view

• 29 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We had to travel far and wide to be here. I thank the Committee. You did not thank the Chairperson who is seated next to me for the work they have done. There is a Kiswahili saying although I cannot translate it into English language. Maybe Sen. Wetangula can help us here. It says view
• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the amendments and the Motion. I am now speaking to the Chair. It would have been nice if Members had been taken through these amendments because there are some genuine concerns like Sen. Sakaja mentioned. It is unusual for a Bill to have so many amendments. Taking us through them would have been helpful, but we trust the Chairman. When he says that some of the issues that would have been raised can be addressed later, I hope it is not the promise that Sen. Murkomen gave here when we were ... view

• 21 Dec 2020 in Senate: collected by county governments is supposed to improve those roads. It is a pity that some counties are now apportioning that money to do their usual funny things, but we must go back there. The cess that they collect from tea farmers is supposed to improve the infrastructure for those roads. When I travelled around Nyeri, the roads around tea farms were good. Secondly, some of us who do not grow tea are supporting this Bill. Please listen to us because Sen. Wambua will bring a Bill about something strategic about Kitui, Meru, Makueni, et cetera, and we would like ... view
