Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to convey my heartfelt condolences to the residents of Baringo County who have lost their dear ones. This Motion is very important. Any life that is lost is very important to this country. Article 26(3) of our Constitution on Right to Life says:- “A person shall not be deprived of life intentionally, except to the extent authorised by this Constitution or other written law.” It is unfortunate that some people are issuing shoot to kill orders. This Constitution does not give anybody that power. We know the gravity of the matter. We ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, any life is very important to this country. Therefore, nobody should lose life intentionally. Recently the residence of the Governor of Kilifi County was broken into and thugs entered one of the rooms. Fortunately, the Governor was not hurt. If he had been attacked, there could be a lot of bloodshed in Kilifi that would have lead to a similar ethnic strife situation as in Baringo County. We want to know what is happening in Baringo County. There are tensions in Eleyo-Marakwet, Turkana and Pokot counties. We want our army to move in and restore order. ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, all I am saying is that we have our boys there. These soldiers would be very useful to us. I am saying this with all sincerity. It would be very useful to us if these boys would be brought back home and be taken to that area to protect our communities and make them live in peace instead of dying in a foreign land.

Bw. Spika, swali lako kwa Sen.Mositet lilikuwa ni muda gani anaohitaji na akasema ni muda wa mwezi mmoja, yaani siku thelathini. Hivi sasa wamuuliza Mositet na anasema vile unavyoona tu. Kama siku saba ama siku nne. Lazima awe na ukamilifu wa siku vile ulivyomuuliza. Hivi sasa tunataka kujua ni muda gani atachukua kuweza kuleta majibu hayo.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While we were listening to the ongoing debate, there is a small Kamukunji taking place somewhere in the Senate. I do not know whether you could be in a position to stop that kind of Kamukunji. In fact, it is right in front of me. I cannot hear what my brother is contributing.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am surprised that you have indicated that you want to stand down Item No.14 on the Order Paper which basically is the County Pension Scheme Bill (Senate Bill No.20 of 2016). I have not been consulted as the Chairperson. It was only a few minutes ago when the Senate Majority Leader walked to me and told me that he wanted this matter stood down. As the chairperson, this should have been brought to me in advance. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A ...

Kwa jambo la nidhamu Bw. Naibu Spika. Ndani ya Bunge ya Seneti kuna mtu ameingia ambaye hatumfahamu ni mtu wa aina gani. Hatujui kama ni Seneta ama ni mtu wa kutoka nje. Ningetaka ifafanulie wazi kama huyu mtu ana haki ya kuketi hapa ndani ama atupwe nje.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is extremely sad for me as the Chairman to hear that there is another body outside this Senate that discusses issues that are before this House and that those bodies are so powerful to an extent that an Order Paper can today be overruled because of certain issues. There must be substantive reasons given by anybody who wants to move that this Bill should actually not go through the First Reading. There are no substantive reasons which have been given. The Senate Leader of Majority just came to me and went back there and said ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We have gone through this Bill with the stakeholders page by page. We have looked at all of them. None has been left out; including the Council of Governors (CoG), the National Treasury, the Retirement Benefits Authority (RBA); everybody under the sun who is concerned with this Bill has been brought on board. Everybody has contributed to this. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will be a sad day today if you will accept or rule in his favour; for this matter to be removed from the Order Paper. You are a credible lawyer. You ...
