• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: yesterday waiting to ask questions through their Senator to the Governor of Nairobi City County. He just said he has travelled. My suspicion is that this Cop 28 that is happening in Dubai is going to be one of the biggest scandals in this country. When the final list of the number of Kenyans who have gone to Dubai is published, we will be embarrassed as a country. I am happy that as a Senator, I was told there is no money in the Senate, so I decided to just stay at home. Mr. Speaker, you are aware of this ... view
• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: Some of us have serious contributions to make on the matter of climate change and the environment, but we were denied that opportunity. Now, my brother, Musalia Mudavadi, has gone there. I doubt if he can be more eloquent on issues about the environment as I would have been in Dubai. Anyway, let us see what will come out of that particular Conference. So, we want to say this --- Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, this morning sitting was created specifically for these Cabinet Secretaries. We should have been having our committee meetings --- view

• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have made this appeal to the Speaker and Members of the Speaker’s Panel before. These Standing Orders protect us from frivolous points of order. I have not seen Standing Order No.121(b) being effected by Members of the Speaker’s Panel because every single time--- The Members who are notorious for this are known. At this point in time, we need to cut out these frivolous and false points of orders that interrupt debate in this House. Some people are just here to shout point of order and when they stand up, they have nothing to say ... view
• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: That is not the point. view
• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have misunderstood me. Under Standing Order No.121, there needs to be a time when a ruling is made when someone repeatedly makes false points of orders. After you have determined that this point of order is frivolous and useless, what is the action taken? That is what we want to see. view
