What we are seeing is that the impeachment procedures or what should happen is that once a governor is impeached, both of them leave the office. That will not motivate deputy governors not to respect their bosses, their governors. Next is Sen. Cherarkey Samson or you did your bit on...

You are doing so well on the deputy governor, just stick to that lane. You are doing so well. Sen. OsotsiFor us to have a balanced approach to this matter, I suggest that as we look at amending the County Governments Act to provide for the amendment on Section 32(3),...

Familiarise yourself with, Standing Order, is it 121? (An hon. Senator spoke off record) Yes, Standing Order No.101 because--- No, let me first caution him that he is really trending on the wrong trajectory. Under Standing Order No.101, we must bring a substantive Motion to discuss the Deputy President. So,...

Sen. Osotsi, you know while chairing this session, I cannot give you that leeway to discuss the Office of the Deputy President. Sen. Osotsi I am debating.

Sen. Osotsibecome a governor when we have a vacancy in that office. So, they start undermining the governor. Sometimes he or she is used by your competitors to undermine you. What happens? They instantly become enemies.Therefore, we need to really look at this relationship between the principal and the deputy....

Sen. Osotsi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to make comments on two statements, starting with a statement by Sen. Cherarkey on the reward scheme for sportsmen and women. We need to have a structured reward scheme, probably defined in October 1, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 18819 Sen. Osotsilaw, maybe...

Sen. Osotsi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with you that we have to review the whole idea about the statements. This is because some of the statements that are given in this House are things that you can even just pick a call and call particular people and you...

Sen. Osotsi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to comment on the statement by Sen. Omtatah regarding Kenyatta National Hospital. The issue of Kenyatta National Hospital is a serious one. I would request the Committee on Health to take it very seriously. However, even as we talk about challenges of...

Sen. Osotsi I represent the people of Vihiga and I know for sure there are two, one senior doctor and one senior administrator at the KNH who were primed to become CEOs of the KNH, but were overlooked because of political and tribal consideration.

Sen. Osotsi

Sen. Osotsi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me support all the Statements that have been raised by Members. However, I will pick only two. The first one is the Statement by Sen. Edwin Sifuna on the high fees being charged in our Vocational Training Centres (VTC) . Vocational Training...

We will now go to court. Sen. Osotsi We gave recommendations to CoB and counties, which they have ignored and pending bills are piling in our counties. Why are we here if the things that we pass in this House are never implemented by relevant organization? We have said it...

Sen. Osotsi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion, which I support, but with a few comments. Among my comments, I will start off where Sen. Osotsi was going to but stopped short. We are dealing with a design problem that cannot...

Sen. Osotsi Sen. Osotsi, the Chair has now changed to ‘Mr. Speaker.’ September 24, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 51 Sen. Osotsi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my good friend, I have seen. Sorry for that. This is also another source of corruption because county officials are colluding with bank officials in order...

Sen. Osotsi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not want to interrupt my good neighbour and friend, Sen. Cherarkey. However, when it comes to my party, I have to protect it. I am rising on Standing Order No.105. Is it in order for Sen. Cherarkey to claim that Hon. Sakaja...

Sen. Osotsi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to make a comment on the Statement by the Senator for Kilifi regarding the state of infrastructure of schools in Kilifi County. It is sad that some counties do not have proper school infrastructure. We have been made to believe, especially in...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, I agree with the Mover of the Motion on one issue; and that is the only issue I am going to agree with Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale on. That, this House must be respected by everybody and every office. This House has donated none other...

Sen. Osotsi

Sen. Osotsi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will address myself to the threshold issue based on the evidence tendered before the Senate.

Sen. Osotsi Well, I want to find out from the witness just in line with the question that has been posed by Sen. Omogeni. It is actually from experience because we know these things. I would like you to confirm or deny that maybe some of the monies that you...

Sen. Osotsi Sen. Kinyua, proceed.

Sen. Osotsi

Sen. Osotsi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations on a matter of countywide concerns regarding expenditure of Equitable Sharable Revenue and County Government Additional Allocations allocated to Vihiga County. In the...

Sen. Osotsi Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion that the Regulations cited be annulled. The Constitution is very clear that lawmaking is a preserve of Parliament; that is, the National Assembly and the Senate. The only institution which has the powers to make laws...

Sen. Osotsi On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was smiling because what Sen. Cherarkey, who is my my neighbour, has said is not applicable to me. Where I come from, people are serious Christians and not night runners.

Sen. Osotsi Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wish to comment on the Statement by Sen. Onyonka on the issue of irregularities in TSC payroll system. I think this is a very serious issue. Our teachers continue to suffer as a result of the TSC’s inefficiency, especially in the...

Sen. Osotsi Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I had begun my comments on the report tabled by the Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations Committee regarding the markets in Vihiga and Bungoma counties. This report follows the visit undertaken in June last year by the Committee, led by my good friend,...
