• 5 Dec 2023 in Senate: He used to wake up every morning to brush his hair, so that it looks as neat as it looked. He believed that we needed to be presentable all the time. In fact, when I went to Eldoret to collect his body, it was the first time in my life to see my uncle unshaved. He used to wake up every morning and would be clean- shaven every time, and he used to insist on that. I take this opportunity to thank Members of the House for all your condolences. If you are able to join us on the 16th ... view

• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, correct me if I am wrong, but the High Court found that the position of CASs was unconstitutional. We are not going to substitute the people responsible for the Ministries for unconstitutional officeholders. In fact, if you brought those CASs here, I would not partake of that session. In fact, I think it is the Bible that says that all good things come to those who wait. I do not know whether it is the Bible; the Christians fundamentalists are on the other side, they will clarify. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am extremely happy that every single ... view
• 29 Nov 2023 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
• 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. Speaker, Sir, let me assure Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale I am not in competition for anything with Musalia Mudavadi. I do not see myself competing with him for anything. I am just saying that the Communication from the Speaker came that he has travelled to the Conference of the Parties to the Convention (COP). I just wondered because this issue of climate change could better be elucidated. I would rather send Sen. Okenyuri or my sister, Sen. Orwoba, because the younger generation has a greater appreciation of this matter than some of these guys. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am deeply ... view
• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: We want them to be arrested at the bandari when they are changing their clothes and be brought before committees of this House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. 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
