Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have guided Sen. Okiya Omtatah very well. I am keenly listening because I want to hear about the documents that he is tabling. However, the reading of Standing Order No.105 is not what he is doing. He is trying to justify his statement. I believe...

We cannot create rules for ourselves. What Sen. Omtatah finds to be just to him might not necessarily be just to me. There is a well-laid-down procedure and it is not the first time. Senator Omtatah, I am sure, has seen other Members being challenged and asked to do substantiation...

So, can you guide us, if you are permitting Sen. Omtatah to read all the 93 documents, it is okay, we will sit and be prepared. If you are asking him to table the documents as has been the practice, then we shall equally be prepared. What happened is that...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to contribute on the issue raised by our colleague, Sen. Wakili Sigei, just like the Senator who has spoken before me. The issue of pending bills is a national crisis. Sen. Omtatah, Sen. Sifuna, Sen. Eddy and other colleagues who are here, if we...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this chance. I thank colleague Senators who took time to speak to this Bill. This is one of those very important Bills, which if we leave this House--- I am beginning to speak like this because I have seen two other previous ends...

The other one is a Procedural Motion. How much time do you need to second this Bill? About 20 minutes. That time is sufficient. The other one is a Procedural Motion. You can do 20 minutes, but let us deal with that when we get there.

About 20 minutes.

agreed that the fund should be located at the county government; none proposed the county governments.That troubles me as a legislator, as a leader, as a Senator, and more importantly, as somebody who cares for devolution, because it tells you that there is something the citizens are speaking to. There...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No. 31 (3) , the Senate do adjourn until Tuesday 14th July, 2026. I request Sen. Eddie to second.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to lay the following paper before the Senate today, Tuesday, 16th June, 2026- The Controller of Budget Report on the national Government Budget Implementation Review for the first nine months of Financial Year 2025/2026. (Sen. Cheruiyot laid the document on the Table)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Majority Leader and the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget, I am giving you one minute to consult. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is just a simple request. We have the County Governments Additional Allocations Bill at Second Reading. It will...

I am very calm today. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.57 (1) , I hereby present the business for the week that commences Tuesday, 16th June, 2026. During the afternoon sitting of the Senate held yesterday, Wednesday, 10th June, 2026, the Senate considered and passed the following...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is somebody trying to get your attention.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No.57 (1) gives me permission to state business that has been transacted and what will be transacted the following week. I am extremely relevant because I was talking about division of revenue and what happened. I do not know what my colleague consumed over...

have celebrated these people. Therefore, this is for CHPs across the Republic of Kenya and there are so many. There are over 100,000, if I can recall.Why I am particularly proud about this Bill is that CHPs were launched in Kericho in 2023 during Mashujaa Day. Kericho will always remain...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a follow-up to what the Senator for Nairobi is inquiring. Remember, we had issued fresh guidelines on letters, such as the ones you are referring to, that come in hours before the plenary on what needs to happen. There were necessary sanctions that we said...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was listening to you. You said “deferred.” Previously, there was an SBC resolution on what happens to Motions when they are called on the Floor and the owner of the business is not present. I do not remember if we agreed to vacate that position. It...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.38 on temporary suspension of a sitting. At the SBC yesterday – and it is good that I say this when the Vice-Chairperson is here – because the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget had proposed that they were likely to...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am grateful to the Members who have spoken to this Bill. Their contributions and insights will go a long way in informing the amendments that will come out of it. This was quite an interesting one. I am fairly aware that we have a very important...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for indulging me. I beg your indulgence and that of my colleagues in the House this afternoon. We have before us a very popular Bill; the Division of Revenue Bill, a Bill which ideally, we normally limit its debate sometimes to five or 10 minutes...

Yes, Sen. Haji, what is your clarification?

I listened with utmost shock one of the judges argue that it was faulty for us to elect to trial an impeachment by way of Committee of the Whole, and that we were only supposed to do it by a 10-man committee. I could not believe that was from a...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.3 of 2024) be now read a second time. This is the third or fourth Statutory Instruments amendment Bill that we are moving this cycle. It is a bit untidy, but, unfortunately,...

I support these two statements. May the issue of teachers be looked into. [The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) in the Chair] PROGRESS REPORTED THE NUTS AND OIL CROPS DEVELOPMENT BILL (SENATE BILLS NO.47 OF 2023)

I would like that to be kindly withdrawn, so that it is not assumed that I am saying that we should give license for young people to do whatever they so wish if the adults that are around do not listen to what they are saying.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I ask Sen. Beatrice Ogola to second.

Proceed, Sen. Mungatana.

I think that should be the end of this session on Statements. Maybe I will have mercy on Sen. Mariam and Sen. Murgor. I have pronounced your names, so that I can be on record, as my colleague takes over this seat. [The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) left the Chair]...

Sorry, Madam Temporary Speaker. I had not seen the change of Speakers. I want to condole with Utumishi Girls School. Children belong to the society. In Kenya, there are demonstrations and destruction of properties. So, when children see that in the television, they think that if they do that, people...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, allow me to use this opportunity to pass condolence to the families of the 16 young girls that perished in the Utumishi tragedy. I join those who are calling for a quick conclusion of the investigations and the decisive action that has been taken this far. I...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir in fact, what Sen. Asige is saying is precisely what I am saying. I took note of the fact that you juxtaposed your argument, which you have just repeated on the Floor, with your message of condolence. The inference then is that because those young people...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join you, on behalf of my colleagues, to welcome the guests, visiting Members of Parliament and their staff from the Parliament of the Republic of Gambia, who, as you have communicated, are here on a study tour and have interacted with quite a...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I welcome the students from Kericho Day Secondary School. This is one of the largest day schools that we have in Kericho County and has been there for quite a while. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these students are welcome. I hope they get to interact with...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Forest Conservation and Management (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.38 of 2025) be now read a Third Time. I request Sen. Olekina to second.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, some Members of this House have spoken on this very important subject. This Bill speaks to our future. Any country that does not take care of its national environment and its forests, will one day pay a very heavy price. I am particularly happy with the...
