• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, do not allow Commissioner, Sen. Korir, to mislead this House. If the law says that Parliament may extend time, then they should have written to Parliament. Hon. Wetangula is not Parliament. I certainly do not recognise him as Parliament. He is the Chair of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and the Speaker of the National Assembly, but we have our own Speaker. If indeed, as she alleges, that was the procedure, then all hon. Wetangula needed to do when he received the letter was to write back and tell them the PSC has said that you should ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the fact that Commissioner Sen. Korir has not seen this letter raises more questions. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it raises more questions than answers. I am not a member of the PSC, but she is a Member. In fact, she is seconded to PSC by this House. She is the one who should see these letters before we, Members, do. I have circulated a copy of the letter on the official Senate WhatsApp group for everybody to see it. We are not discussing who pays the Panel or who provides secretarial services for this Panel. The question is: which institution under the law has powers to extend time? In my view, if the answer is ... view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: One minute, Madam Temporary Speaker. The shouting is interfering with the network on my phone. I have shared the letter on the official Senate Business Group. If you do not have network, it is because Sen. Kinyua is shouting. The reference of that letter is SP/IEBC/CORR/2025/36 from the Selection Panel for the Recruitment of Nominees for Appointment as Chairperson and Member of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). It is dated 20th March, 2025. It is addressed to the Rt. Hon. (Dr.) MM Wetangula, EGH, MP, Speaker of the National Assembly and Chairperson of the Parliamentary Service Commission. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: I feel like there is more education to pass. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Under Standing Order No.101(4), it appears as if the Senate Majority Leader is imputing a very improper motive on our part to raise those objections, yet the Mover of the Motion who was standing in for him has already apologised to us for not supplying that information that you are now referring to the House before the Motion. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: Senate Majority Leader, you are my witness. We agreed, both sides of this House, the Majority and the Minority side, that we will not conduct business by ambush. The information that you are putting out now should have been with the Members before. Your colleague on the other side who is also the Vice-Chairperson of the PSC, herself had not seen that letter. I mean, what are we to make of this? We asked our Speaker, he had not seen the letter. We have had to get this letter from the National Assembly. view
• 3 Apr 2025 in Senate: To be fair to us, when such a Motion is brought, first we need to be informed. It would have been nice if you had attached all this correspondence, so that we do not have to make noise about what you are considering nothing. For you to say that you do not understand why we are making noise is to be very unfair, especially because you have come to the House late. You are telling us you are growing sugarcane in Kericho when I know it does not grow in Kericho. view
