• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Quickly, I would like to comment on the second petition on hardship allowance for teachers in Taita Taveta County. It is important that the Committee on Education - which is going to look into this Petition - to not only look at the challenges that teachers are facing in Taita Taveta County, but also look at the entire 47 counties because this problem is common.

• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: amendment. It is a high time this country sat down and re-looked at this Constitution; what is working and what is not working. For example; this idea of deputy governors, if you ask me I would say that governors do not really need a deputy governor. When there is a vacancy in the office of the governor, people should go for elections so that we do not have a scenario where someone comes into office as a deputy governor; when something happens to the governor then he becomes the Governor and yet he has not been elected by the people. ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a House of order and rules. The substantive Speaker made a ruling on the dressing in this Chamber and disallowed the short-sleeved shirts. My good friend the Senator for Kirinyaga is putting on a short- sleeved jacket. Is he in order? view

• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: I am among the Members who rejected this Bill on this Floor largely because of the reason that that Bill was insufficiently addressing the issues of how to manage technopolis in this country. Second, the Ministry of Information, Communications and The Digital Economy was in the process of processing a similar Bill. This Senator went on social media and labelled us as a community that is trying to fight her because Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Wafula opposed it. Just because we share the same tribe, she went and blackmailed us on social media that we voted against the Bill ... view
• 20 Sep 2023 in Senate: There is no problem in us discussing this Senator. All we want from her is for her to come and apologise to the House and to our innocent Clerk that he blackmailed on social media, then we will consider to accept the apology and move on. We cannot stop discussing the conduct of a Member just because we fear some issues. We will discuss. I encourage Members to discuss this Motion soberly and pass it so that we establish precedent that Members in this House will follow and we ensure that this Senate adheres to established norms and cultures of ... view
