• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: I also support this Motion, particularly on these amendments to the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.37 of 2023). I thank Sen. Osotsi for coming up with these amendments. I happen to have been involved in many issues, particularly on issues where the Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) do not appear before my Committee as the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Trade and Industrialization on so many occasions. This brings a solution to that problem where the oversight that we are mandated as the Senate to oversee or even as a function that has been given a privilege ... view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: I support these amendments and get to understand that we are on operations, particularly in our Committees working together with several calls in or inviting several CSs, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and Director Generals (DGs) of institutions, parastatals, we undergo such kind of humiliations as Chairpersons. That also tries to undermine our performance in these Committees. We do not get the responses that we ought to have been given, particularly on Statements and Petitions that are given by the members of the public. view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: I believe that my brother, Sen. Osotsi, is coming in with long experience while he is the Chairperson of the County Public Investments Committee (CPIC). Those are issues and stresses that he is also undergoing. 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 Services,Senate. view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: This is the time we need to stand on our feet as Parliament, so that we are respected by the public officers who have been given the mandate to do the implementations and work on behalf of the public. view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: I believe that having some penalties increased from Kshs500,000 to Kshs2 million as proposed by this Bill, is the right way to go. When we say Kshs2 million, it might even be very small as indicated by several colleagues. It is important to realize that it could be small to most CEOs or most governors and CSs who are coming before these committees. It will be more punitive to them. They will understand that something is on their shoulders. They will know that something is coming and they will be responsible for coming on time. When there are excuses that ... view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: I support the other penalties or even charges that have been proposed by my colleagues on issues of the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB). The clearance to Parliament is also very important. The owner of the Bill needs to look at them. More importantly, the list of shame as proposed by my sister, Sen. Veronica Maina. view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: These are issues that need to get into this Bill so that these people understand that being in that office is on behalf of so many people. Many people should have been in that office. However, you have been given the privilege to sit in that office to work for the public; to be responsible at any given time when you are called by Parliament. This is a very important Bill that we need to support. view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Therefore, as the Senator for Kajiado and the Chairperson of the Trade and Industrialization Committee, I support this Bill in totality. view
• 22 Feb 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 21 Feb 2024 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second. view
