• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to seek a clarification on whether the other Cabinet Secretaries have given any time indication of when we expect them to be here. view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, that practice is something that you must not allow. There is no way a Cabinet Secretary can send a letter to you seated in the Chair this morning. I am very shocked. We woke up very early in the morning to come and attend this session. The Question that I was supposed to put to hon. CPA John Mbadi, is a Question that is over a year old. It has taken him less than two weeks to become a proper Kenya Kwanza Cabinet Secretary who has no respect for this House. We cannot allow ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 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 Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not know what other evidence the Senate Majority Leader would want tabled of disrespect to this House, other than the letter that has been brought to you while seated on the Chair. The fact that he admits that we have engaged on this issue repeatedly is indicative of a tradition within the Kenya Kwanza Government that they disrespect this House all the time. We have dealt with this issue more than enough times. The Senate Majority Leader cannot gag me. You cannot gag me, hon. Cheruiyot. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: The disrespect is in that letter that has been brought this morning. We woke up here to do this job. Where is hon. Mbadi? You cannot defend Mbadi. view

In the Statement, the committee should address the following: (1) Explain the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Ms. Munyao. 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 and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: (2) State her current whereabouts. (3) Outline the actions taken by Kenyan authorities to secure her release and enable her to be reunited with her family from Machakos County. I thank you. Thank you. The next Statement is by Sen. Cherarkey. view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to begin by commenting on the statement by Sen. Gloria. I take this opportunity to congratulate her. I think this is the first time in parliamentary history that a pregnancy announcement has been woven into a parliamentary question. She did well to disclose because the question was on Linda Mama. If she had not told us that, we would have accused her of conflict of interest because she is soon going to be a beneficiary of Linda Mama programme. I would like that when the committee takes charge of this matter, they also appraise ... view
• 18 Sep 2024 in Senate: I have very serious reservations about the announcement I saw the day before, that, we are putting together a committee of almost 200 people to deal with a problem that we caused ourselves. I have asked myself severally, what was the problem with the funding model that we went through when I was in the university? It was very easy for the chiefs, religious leaders and our close family associates to communicate with the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and tell them the state of our finances. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I feel that these are very important Statements and ... view
