Parliamentary Activity
Sen. Cheruiyot Let us have Sen. Wambua. June 21, 2022 SENATE DEBATES 35 Sen. Cheruiyot forward to working with them because they are competent. Some of the best brains you can find in this country are actually staffers of Parliament.Finally, I plead and pray that God willing, when we come...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. Having served in the Committee on Finance and Budget, I have seen the struggle of many counties. This is something we have agonized over for the past two sessions of the Senate. We have tried to see how county governments can...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to inform Sen. Cheruiyot. May 12, 2022 SENATE DEBATES 13 Sen.

Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot, would you like to be informed? Sen. Cheruiyot Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, do you want to inform me? Yes, I cannot refuse to be informed by an eminent person. (Laughter)
Official Hansard sourceMr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I just want to inform or remind my very good friend, Sen. Cheruiyot, Commissioner, that he is actually a Sunday school teacher. I do not know what has happened he has now started reading his Bible upside down. In the Bible the cardinal sin, the Senator...
Official Hansard sourceOn a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I should have put my light earlier when the Senator for Kitui County spoke. I just wanted to add that, even if we go with the argument the Sen. Wambua gave, it proves that the men are too weak. (Laughter)
Official Hansard sourceSen. CheruiyotThank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. April 7, 2022 SENATE DEBATES 24 Sen. Cheruiyot I hope that when we set up such a Board, we will give it sufficient powers. I have seen the powers that have been granted to them.We need to make a demand on everybody, including those...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, is Sen. Cheruiyot really in order? You know death is revered in Africa. The body is not yet cold; the death has just happened. (Laughter) There is a point of order.
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Khaniri for bringing this very important Statement to this House. Kenya prides itself as an agricultural country. However, it is very sad that we call ourselves an agricultural country, but do not put in place measures...
Official Hansard sourceYou are out or order, Sen. Cheruiyot. You can spare that for the rallies out there. Proceed, Sen. Ndwiga.
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in congratulating Sen. Khaniri for bringing this very important Statement to this House. Kenya prides itself as an agricultural country. However, it is very sad that we call ourselves an agricultural country, but do not put in place measures to support...
Official Hansard sourceEven if you were to compensate that farmer after they have planted, then the consumer price of that product will be expensive. Therefore, this country will be sinking in aberrance of inflation if we do not have proper plans.I am happy that Sen. Khaniri has brought this issue here. Let...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to protest while Sen. Murkomen was still on the Floor because he appears to be demeaning Sen. Kibiru, the indefatigable Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget. When he says that they have received assurances from the highest office in the...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for giving me this chance. I support this Statement by my colleague, Sen. Sakaja. We all watched that horrifying video. As a man and a father of two daughters, that clip really shocked me because it could have as well been my...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I appreciate that information. They say great minds think alike. I had not listened to what he had asked for, but when I read this Statement, I thought that would clearest and simplest to define what needs to be done. Thank you, Madam...
Official Hansard sourceSen. CheruiyotMr. Speaker, Sir, the part of the Bill that deals with the removal of a member or a member being deemed to have been expelled or resigned from a political party, is improperly drafted. Not so long ago, our colleague, Sen. Mwaura, was expelled from this House and from...
Official Hansard sourceJust a minute we are consulting a bit. (The Senate Majority and Minority Leaders and the Clerk-at-the-Table consulted the Speaker)
Official Hansard sourceOrder! Senators. After consultation, we will have to finish. I will have to propose and put the question. After that, I will use Standing Order No. 1 to allow for a bit of debate on the Bill. (Question, that the Mover be now called up to reply, put and agreed...
Official Hansard sourceThank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will not go back to what happened before this, but I am happy with your decision. This is a terrible, hopeless and useless Bill which fails all tests. It fails the test of drafting in terms of language. It fails the test of corresponding...
Official Hansard sourceMr. Speaker, Sir, the part of the Bill that deals with the removal of a member or a member being deemed to have been expelled or resigned from a political party, is improperly drafted. Not so long ago, our colleague, Sen. Mwaura, was expelled from this House and from his...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Madam Temporary Chairperson, you have heard my good neighbor, Sen. Cheruiyot, trying to water down a nomination that was conducted freely and fairly in Kisumu in the last general election by saying that we were issued certificates in a sugar plantation. I want him to table the evidence...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Madam Temporary Chairperson, you noted Sen. Farhiya interrupted me when I was making my conclusion but I understand her. She can never understand some of these challenges that we are mentioning. She has said we either choose or not. A practising politician understands what a political party means....
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot I object it because Sen. Cherargei wants to misguide the public on the definition of ideology and that of direct and indirect nominations. (Laughter)
Official Hansard sourceSen. CheruiyotThe Temporary Chairperson (Sen. Nyamunga): You know there is only one option if he is not there to move the amendment. We can only drop it.
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot On a Point of Order Madam Temporary Chairperson. The Temporary Chairperson (Sen. Nyamunga) : What is your Point of Order, Sen. Murkomen?
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Madam Temporary Chairperson, in any principles of natural justice, justice ought to be done at any given time. The proposal of introduction of section, and I know most of my colleagues who are nominated, especially those that belong to the Jubilee Party have been living under morbid fear...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Madam Temporary Chairperson, I want Sen. Orengo to relax because points of order are allowed by the Standing Orders. When he becomes the governor of Siaya and they come for his MCAs voting for his Motion and they want to expel them, he will remember me in this...

Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Madam Temporary Chairperson, I would not waste my time if these proceedings were not live with the whole Republic watching.

Official Hansard sourceSen Cheruiyot If it is about time--- The Temporary Chairperson (Sen. Nyamunga) : It is not about time. It is about doing the right thing. Just tell us why you are supporting and be brief and let others interrogate too. That is how it should be done. You have not...
Official Hansard sourceMadam Temporary Chairperson, I want Sen. Cheruiyot to listen very carefully. He can withdraw his support for this Bill but we can come and use it against him in the next few months. The point I am making is that, if Sen Cheruiyot cared to listen to my earlier presentation...
Official Hansard sourceIf he decides not to take legal action after 21 days he ceases to be in that party. If he or she goes to court and gets interim orders and eventually succeeds in court so be it. If he or she does not go to court, then they are expelled....
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Madam Temporary Chairperson, every time I have had the Floor, it has been under your direction. Is Sen. Orengo accusing you as the Chair of this session that there are people who have requested a chance to speak, just like us, and you have denied them? Otherwise, I...

Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Yes, but somebody cannot discuss me here in your presence without a substantive Motion. You know that for sure. This anger that Sen. Murkomen carries is really causing a lot of problems not only here, but even outside there. He is still angry with me everywhere he goes....
Official Hansard sourceSen. Wambua had informed the Clerk’s office. Has Sen. (Dr.) Kang’ata informed the Clerk’s office? Just check it, please. Sen. Cheruiyot Madam Temporary Chairperson, it is not my work to check. The Temporary Chairperson (

Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyot Thank you, Madam Temporary Chairperson. I appreciate the fact that we have all been sitting for long. Therefore, I will not be detailed. Sen. Murkomen mentioned this when he was moving his amendment. If you read Article 88 of the Constitution which establishes the IEBC and confers upon...
Official Hansard sourceSen. Cheruiyotproblem. During the party primaries, we have had other parties come to gang up against their competitor’s most popular candidate just because there is no register to verify who is voting.
