• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: adhered to the best practice of an Information Technology (IT) system that is supposed to serve two levels of Government. There was also a suggestion that we needed to have two IFMIS systems, one for the national Government and one for our counties. As the Committee looks at this issue, they also need to tell us how well we will implement this. The other day, the Director of IFMIS appeared before the Senate Standing County Public Investments Committee (CPIC) and said that the system is fully customisable. If this system is fully customisable, how come we are having challenges where ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: Point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I am rising on Standing Order No.105. Is the Senator in order to talk about the handshake regime when the Speaker has ruled in this House that there is nothing called ‘the handshake Government’? Secondly, is she in order to mislead this House that this problem was with the so- called handshake regime? Can the good Senator provide evidence to that effect? view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I start by congratulating the distinguished Senator for Kakamega County for bringing this Motion. This Motion is very key at this time because the country is shocked by what happened in Kilifi County. view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: The late Archbishop Desmond Tutu defined religion as a knife, which can either be used to cut a piece of bread or stick in someone’s back. What Mckenzie has done is to try and use religion to stick it in people’s back. That is why we are discussing this. view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: I fully agree to the need to regulate religious organisations in this country.

Why not here in Kenya? We have Article 32 of the Constitution that talks about freedom of conscience, religion, belief and opinion, but you are aware that Article is also guided by Article 24 of the Constitution that talks about limitation of rights and fundamental freedoms. So, one cannot have absolute rights on ... view
• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: I have looked at the names of the Senators who will sit in this Committee and I believe they are up to the task and are competent enough. My only fear is availability. view

• 27 Apr 2023 in Senate: This particular assignment is going to be time consuming and will require a lot of traveling. Looking at the list, I can see three Members of the Speaker’s Panel. I can also see four Members who belong to critical Committees; the County Public Accounts Committee and the County Public Investment and Special Funds Committee. I can also see three Chairpersons of Committees in it. I am concerned about that even though I agree that these Members are competent enough to do this work, availability will be a challenge. view
