Gloria Magoma Orwoba

Sen. Orwoba Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I must say that we must speak the truth. The truth of the matter is that we are cutting back, whether on Equalisation Fund, Appropriation Fund and the Executive Fund on State House or on whichever Fund. We are in the...

Sen. Orwoba Madam Temporary Speaker, on being informed, I am well informed and I do not think I want to be informed further. Thank you.

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have allowed Sen. Oketch Gicheru to speak because we are both in the youth bracket. Nonetheless, I have that information. Whether it is the Equalisation Fund, the Appropriation Fund that we send to counties or the Fund that we use for whatever...

Sen. Orwoba Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg that the HANSARD pulls out a report where I have actually referenced the particular governor that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is stating. At which point then, I will apologize and withdraw because I have been consistent in what I say in whatever fund we...

Sen. Orwoba Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. I saw the light going off and my time was lost in between. If I can be added my time, kindly.

Sen. Orwoba Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for this opportunity to add my voice on to this Report by the Committee on Finance and Budget. I hate to be the devil's advocate, but I know my colleagues are expecting me to sing to the chorus of the Senate. However, especially...

Sen. Orwoba Madam Temporary Speaker, I was simply highlighting their process of vetting and trying to juxtapose it with that of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget, which was able to bring together the two nominees, which we are actually supporting the report. I have heard Members of this...

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand guided. I wish to conclude by saying that we need to be responsible enough to make our processes efficient. My point was that, as Senators who are watching the vetting, there are a lot of glaring questions in terms of the...

Sen. Orwoba On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I bring your attention under Standing Order No.245 on broadcasting of Senate proceedings. There has been a recurring incident at least three times when I was speaking. It is an intentional sabotage that when I am on the Floor, somehow, for a very...

Sen. Orwoba Standing Order No. 245 talks of Broadcasts of Senate Proceedings. If you go further to page 238, the Sixth Schedule - Broadcasting Rules - Rule No.3 talks on television broadcasting. The page is 238, the Standing Order is 245. This issue was even raised before by Sen. Oketch...

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second this Motion and support the Report that has been tabled by the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. Before I comment on why I support this Report, it is imperative that Kenyans understand what the SRC does. Before the...

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I, definitely, hope that the comments I have made will impact the Committee. However, I withdraw.

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the request for Statement by Sen. Miraj on the issue of replacement of lost certificates by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) . I had a lot of points on digitization of these certificates. So, let me not belabour...

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As I rise to support and probably belabour the points that have been submitted by my colleagues, I also take this opportunity to ask very pertinent questions on the Floor of the House and the sponsor of the Bill. It is imperative...

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to inform Sen. Cherarkey that he needs to read widely in the African context and all the tribes. In some places, even when you are married, you still belong to the family. On the issue of getting married, there are...

Sen. Orwoba On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Orwoba Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need your clarification because you made a ruling based on Standing Order No.101 (1) on the contents of the speech. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you read that Standing Order, it says – “Neither the personal conduct of the President, nor the conduct of the...

Sen. Orwoba On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to make a comment on the Deputy Speaker's Statement with regard to the Meru County Government and the issues that they are having. My sentiment to this is that it appears that other parties, including the Judiciary, feel that perhaps,...

Cherarkey on the use of social media platforms, all the misinformation, and the inflammatory statements, manipulated media and the issue of fake news that we are currently dealing...

Sen. Orwoba Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have been patiently waiting. We were directed that we would be given a few minutes to comment on the statements. It seems that that has been forgotten. July 30, 2024 SENATE DEBATES 41 Sen. Orwoba(The Clerk-at-the Table consulted with the Temporary Speaker)

Sen. Orwoba On a point of clarification, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am well guided. I want to point out that when we had the Speaker Hon. Kingi in the Chair, we started voting on one of the Bills. Even the Speaker himself asked: Where is Sen. Agnes Kavindu who was in the House...

Sen. Orwoba Mr. Speaker, Sir, some important statements have been read. We were hoping that we would get a minute or two to add our voice because these are issues facing us, particularly fake news. Heavy statements have been raised on the Floor of the House. I beg you to...

Sen. Orwoba

Sen. Orwoba Bi. Spika wa Muda, ningependa kumkosoa Seneta Mungatana kwa sababu anaongea Kiswahili. Jina ambalo linatumika kwa gypsum ni jasi. Asante.

Sen. Orwoba Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to strongly support this Bill by Sen. Chimera, not because I want to limit anyone’s political career. There is one thing we must start understanding.

Sen. Orwoba Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support Sen. Dullo's proposed amendment.

They cannot participate in certain activities because of their...
