Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a title we have bestowed upon him. I had the opportunity to witness that he also has a Duchess. However, I request the Senator for Makueni, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, to Second the Bill. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also wish to add my voice to what my colleagues have said. Kiambu County is one of the counties that produce a lot of tea in some of the sub-counties, for example, parts of Lari, Gatundu North and Gatundu South. There are Kenyan farmers who are currently living in completely unacceptable conditions, yet they do most of the work of producing one of the essential commodities that has given this country the status in the international market that we enjoy. It has also been said that a lot of returns come from tea. However, ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I had requested for the point of order before the Senator for Vihiga rose to speak. In my point of order, I wanted to draw the attention of Sen. Khaniri and, indeed, concur with him that the matter he is prosecuting is important. While lamenting on some of the woes some of the counties are facing, is it in order for the Senator to lament without qualifying that there are also procedures that have been set by the Controller of Budget? A major reason why some counties do not receive their disbursements in time ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want my brother to prosecute his case, but as I stand here, you can see that I am not an old woman; I am a man. So, it is wrong for him to insinuate that I am an old woman. But more importantly, the position I was trying to bring to the attention of the House has been expressed by the Controller of Budget more than three times, including during the last time we sat together as the Senate. As a result, we cannot wish away the fact that, yes, we ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order on the continued misinformation. I am sure that most of the Senators who are contributing are aware about the facts. Once we pass the County Allocation of Revenue Bill, the money goes into the accounts of the counties. That is why the issue of how much has been withdrawn arises. So, when you hear the explanation that this and that county has got so much, it is on the basis of how much they have withdrawn. When we pass that Bill in this House, we normally get a schedule. ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill (Senate Bills No.1 of 2018) be now read a Second Time. The Assumption of Office of the County Governor Bill (Senate Bills No.1 of 2018) was published on 12th January and read for the First Time on 15th February, 2018. The object of the Bill is to provide for the procedure and the ceremony of the assumption of office of the County Governor elect. This is one of the Bills that we had introduced in the previous House, and in the processes ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Senate Minority Leader to mislead the House and the country that the reason for summoning the Governor for Kitui County, Hon. Charity Ngilu, was because of banning logging? The reason why she was summoned was because of burning a truck belonging to a Member of County Assembly (MCA) of Kiambu.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With tremendous respect to the Chair, this is a House of records. Everything that is said on the Floor of this House is recorded. Therefore, in the absence of that statement either being withdrawn or the Chair giving directions for clarification or substantiation, it becomes the House record. It is my concern that a lot of statements have been made from the other side, including the one made by the Senate Minority Leader when he was speaking about the previous issue. When these statements, which are misleading, are left that way, they become the record ...
