Gloria Magoma Orwoba

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

Sen. Thang’wa, proceed. Sen. Thang’wa Mr. Speaker, Sir, the good Senator probably did not understand me. What I was trying to say is that in every subject, the Committee was giving a recommendation. One of the recommendations was to form a panel within 21 days. It was not conclusive. When...

What is your point of order, Sen. Orwoba? Sen. Kavindu Muthama, just a minute.

That is a point of information. Proceed Sen. Kavindu Muthama.

What is your point of order, Sen. Orwoba?

Sen. Orwoba, what are you saying? Has the Ministry Multisectoral Committee submitted its report? Madam Temporary Speaker, the reports have been submitted.

Would you like to be informed?

Just hold on, Sen. Orwoba. Did Sen. Miraj say that proposals were not given?

So, what is your point?

The wording is that NADCO has then decided that these recommendations are not enough and a We are faulting the wording of the recommendations. The wording is that NADCO has then decided that these recommendations are not enough and...

What is your point of order Sen. Sifuna?

They have gone

Thank you, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. With all due respect, I know that you are my senior, but sometimes you can learn from us, young people. As much as you have said that matters of supply/demand and the interest of the economy should be left to the county governments alone, it...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sen. Orwoba, what is your point of order? Madam Temporary Speaker, we are debating the Water (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 33 of 2023) . I do not think that it is in order that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale--- Under what Standing...

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I am rising on a statement of fact. I do not allegedly come from Kisii County. I come from Kisii County. You must apologize and withdraw. What are you trying to tell the electorate out there? Apologize and withdraw!

Withdraw the statement!

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion on the Limitation of Debate on the Presidential address. I want to echo one of the statements from Sen. Kavindu Muthama, who has suggested that perhaps also the President should sit in to listen to some of the criticism,...

Hon. Senators, I have a communication to make with regards to a visiting institution. (Interruption of debate on Bill) In this particular point, this agency that we want to create will have the power and the mandate to go seek loans stating that they want to bring development in terms...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Bill by Sen. Osotsi. I have been in the Senate for about 17 months and I have seen how we struggle as legislators to play our role in oversight. I have seen how we are literally sent by the people...

She is not in. She has stepped out.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to second Sen. Crystal Asige’s Motion that is coming in late. This is something we have wanted to discuss as women who are in this House to represent other women out there and safeguard their lives. It was unfortunate...

living while entertaining us. It is time we legislated and had policies around how we send off our artists.I would like to convey my condolences to the family and friends of Charles Ouda. As we mourn with them, I would like to invite all the Senators to the wake we...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare regarding identification and nurturing of football talent at the grassroot level. In the Statement, the Committee should-

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to, first of all, thank my party, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party for nominating me to come to this House. It has been a wonderful year learning the ropes of this House. I also thank my party leader, President William...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to reiterate that the Senate is being disrespected yet again. We are the ‘Upper House’. Every time I tell people that I sit in the ‘Upper House’, I expect that the ‘Upper House’ is respected equally, as the National Assembly. Many people...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Nyamu on regulating alcohol consumption, nightclubs and club activities. I am a parent of a 16-year-old boy. I would like to remind parents and legislators that there is only so much that we can control. We...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to weigh in on the issue of the disrespect that the Senate is receiving from the Cabinet. I believe that when the Kenya Kwanza Government ran for office, we are here for the hustler nation, for the people. What else are the Cabinet...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, before I go ahead to give my comments on the report that has been submitted by this Ad Hoc Committee, I take note. I am a first time Parliamentarian and I am always reminded by senior Members that this is a House of order and procedures....

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. Kindly protect me. For the record, let it be noted that all the Standing Orders that I mentioned from 197 to 228, guide us on matters business that is being conducted under select Committees. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I find it extremely difficult...

It is the context in which the Senators used it. It is demeaning, it is downgrading. We are tired. Allow me to continue with my submission.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am guided by the old Senator. As you said, I am guided not to talk about whether or not it was against our Standing Orders. My message is that we should continue to hold our Standing Orders high and remember that even as...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I must be protected. Those are frivolous points of order.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir---

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have read the report in depth. I have been waiting to contribute to this Motion since Wednesday. On Thursday, I sat here until Sen. Orwoba, which page did you read? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I read page 155, paragraph 502. I can reread the recommendation....

I want to inform Sen. Mumma why the Kenya Kwanza Government is intentional on this coffee industry. There are some regulations and details on how we will control the pricing or even just incentivising the farmers to push on the coffee production that cannot be attained within the bigger scope...
