Khalwale Boni

Proceed,

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Senate Majority Leader, I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.57 (1) to hereby present the business of the House for the week commencing Tuesday, 10th June, 2025. The status of the business pending before the Senate include 53 Bills, of which 37...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, following the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) , lessons were drawn and the Government responded by establishing the Kenya Biovax Institute that was supposed to preside over manufacture, packaging and commercialization of believable vaccines that we are aware the Senator for Kajiado County has drawn the attention...

Sen. (Dr.) Boni, where I come from, men do not talk about food. So, I could not make a comment about the food. Men do not discuss stomach matters. You assume you never heard what you said. I just assumed I never heard. It just like when a boy insults...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Kakamega County is a renowned expert in bullfighting. We do not challenge it and he does not challenge it, so let us just give Hon. Hassan Ali Joho his flowers that he can be an expert in making sure that bling coming from...

I have not touched you. What is out of order?

Bi. Spika wa Muda, nataka kumuelezea Sen. (Dr) Khalwale kwamba mtu awe wa Wamunyoro ama wa chama gani, tukiwa hapa tunawakilisha kaunti 47. Kwa hivyo, kama kuna Seneta ambaye hayuko hapa---

Bi. Spika wa Muda, Seneta wa Embu angenielewa. Sikua nafanyia Seneta wa Nyandarua madharau. Nilikua namkumbusha kwa sababu, he is a new Member. Ajenda kubwa ya kaunti inasukumwa na nafasi unayopewa katika Bunge ya Kenya. Hiyo nafasi ni kubwa kuliko ile unapata nyumbani na ndio maana, nikatumia jina la Wamunyoro....

Madam Temporary Speaker, I withdraw the word “Wamunyoro”. Speaking on behalf of the great people of Nyandarua and if we go by the simulation, I was appealing to the Senator for Nyamira that it is arbitrary and not scientific because they had left out Nyandarua in their arbitrary selection of...

Crooks are leaders who are elected into office, but they have no integrity. If you want to give me an opportunity to name them, let me do so next time round, so that I come with a substantive Motion. When is that? On a point of information.

Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. (Dr.) Boni should stop calling me his son because I saw his post of a newborn, but my son is already six years. My brother cannot be a newborn yet I am a father of a six-year-old. He gets a child every day. The most outstanding...

The Senator of Nyandarua County has corrected me that I should never call him my son. In fact, I will not call him my son again until he shaves his beard and combs his hair for him to look young, which is his correct age. (Laughter)

Mr. Speaker, Sir, my question is on policy. There is a Member of Parliament from Bungoma County who served four terms. After serving the first two terms, it was interrupted and he started enjoying his pension. He then came back, served another two terms. Now, when he returned, he was...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion as moved by the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget, the Senator for Mandera, who fortunately for us in this Senate, is a national party leader. Therefore, like many national party leaders, he has a global view, not just...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with you fully. However, somewhere I read and somewhere I heard that the Speaker does not see or hear; he is only moved by the Plenary. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take your guidance. (Laughter) Senator for Kakamega, do not invite the Chair to that direction....

Mr. Speaker, Sir, following your guidance, would it be in order for the statement to not be allowed to stand on the record of the House because the Governor of Nakuru would ordinarily be removed by this House and is the subject of this statement?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to comment on the statement about killing of Catholic priests. We are not serious. I remember when Fr. Anthony Kaiser was murdered, his mother country, the United States of America (USA) , sent here the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) . We had been told...

Just a minute, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Sen. Mungatana, what is your point of order?

(Laughter) (Loud consultations) do not know what the cowards walking on the streets can do to a promising son of the Republic of Kenya in the name of Dr. Boni Khalwale, MB, CHB, CBS. Can I continue? I wanted to intimidate the Senate Majority Leader because he was looking at...

Let us proceed. This afternoon we are a bit easy, so that we can get some good business here. (Interruption of debate on Motion)

SCHEDULE (s. 4) ALLOCATION OF REVENUE RAISED NATIONALLY BETWEEN THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS FOR THE 2025/26 FINANCIAL YEAR Type/ level of allocation Amount in Ksh.

Mr. Temporary Chairperson, I beg to move- THAT the Bill be amended by deleting the Schedule and substituting therefor the following new Schedule - SCHEDULE (s. 4) ALLOCATION OF REVENUE RAISED NATIONALLY BETWEEN THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS FOR THE 2025/26 FINANCIAL YEAR Type/ level of allocation Amount in...

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the Senate its consideration of the Division of Revenue Bill (National Assembly Bills No. 10 of 2025) and its approval thereof with amendments. Thank you. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) (The House resumed) [The...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir--- The Mover is the Senate Majority Leader. Let him do his work. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the correct reading is doth and not do. It is doth. The House is so informed. (Laughter) Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House do agree...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank you for this chance. I want to confess from the beginning that this is not an easy debate. It is extremely complex because anything resulting in death is final. It marks the cessation of life that expresses itself through cessation of breathing, cessation...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Health on a matter of grave national concern regarding the employment of the staff of the Social Health Authority (SHA) . The Secretary/CEO of the Public Service Commission (PSC) ,...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What is your point of order, Sen. (Dr.) Boni? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise under Standing Order No.105. You heard the Senator of Kericho County accuse the employees of NHIF of approving claims for people who have been amputated five times. Is...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. To suspend the Sitting of the Senate is an extraordinary issue and we are doing this to appeal to God. I, therefore, want your direction on this. Is it possible for all the luminaries of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) , who will be at...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have two general comments. The first one is that we have to carry the country with us. There is so much arrogance amongst governors. They think that this money can just find its way in the county revenue fund without the legislation that...

Order, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Mr. Temporary Speaker sir, it is because of that seniority that I want to appeal to the distinguished Senator from Mombasa--- On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Temporary Speaker sir, it is because of that seniority that I want to appeal to the distinguished Senator from Mombasa---

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Indeed, it is because of the seniority you are alluding to that I would like to appeal to my younger brother, who is my junior in this Parliament by many years, that I am alive to the facts. It is due to the ongoing...

I am sorry, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will proceed. Since these funds have not been audited, we do not know what we deserve from the Consolidated Fund. This is the reason I propose to this House that we introduce the necessary legislation or amendments to the Public Finance Management...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will not kill by explaining what I said and then I apologise.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will not kill by explaining what I said and then I apologise.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am not so unreasonable to call a colleague a puppy. I said, “You are not Governor Barasa’s puppy.” That is what I said. If that word means in English that I call him a puppy, I withdraw and apologise. I would never call a colleague...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise under Standing Order No.105 on responsibility for statement of fact. The Senator who is my good neighbour has stated that the Government protects them. What does he mean by that? I agree that issues of minerals are emotive, but...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my time has been taken by points of order.

Sen. (Dr.) Boni, spend the remainder of your time to conclude.

I was just appealing, so that I conclude this very important point.

I can see a request on the dashboard by Sen. Olekina who already contributed to this Bill. Hon. Senators, there being no other Member to contribute on this, I now call upon the Mover, who is the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget to reply.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to make a disclosure. The disclosure is that I come from Kakamega County and just the other day, when I was old enough to see with my eyes, there was no place called Vihiga in Kakamega. Vihiga was just one of the...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What is the point of order, Sen. Boni? Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the point of relevance, is this Question Time or time to make comments? The Senator of Kitui has clearly said he has no question; he has a comment. Can he...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect, however emotional we can become during debate, we must uphold parliamentary language. Martha Karua is an hon. Member who served this Republic, not only in this House, but also in the Cabinet. Martha Karua was one of the engines behind the success...

I sit on the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget and in our last sitting, the Vice Chairperson who was chairing then, advised us that during tomorrow's breakfast meeting, one of the leaders of the Republic will address the Senate. The clarification I seek is that in that meeting, I...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in 1989, Parliament kept quiet when Professor Wangari single-handedly fought the then-President of Kenya over the grabbing of Uhuru Park. They wanted to put up a hotel of 60 stories. I want to congratulate Sen. Seki that now you have allowed Parliament to speak to this attempt...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Before I support this Motion, allow me to acknowledge the advice you have given me, that I partake of this. While you are saying it, a youth has sent me a message, quickly, real time, we are being followed, that I ask you, if...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we expect a dual courage from Nairobi to Nakuru and to the Mau Summit. At that point, we expect that dual carriage to go into two branches. One branch to go to Kericho, then to Kisumu and from Kisumu to Kakamega. From Kakamega, it should join...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Chairman of the Budget and Finance Committee of the Senate, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of this Senate today, 15th May, 2025. The report of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on the Division of Revenue Bill,...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is so nice to see these young people in the Senate this afternoon, especially coming under the umbrella of the NYS of Kenya, which to some people, means children who are undergoing training in specialities that are not very competitive amongst children who do...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You could have raised it when Sen. Osotsi was contributing. Certainly, it cannot be a point of order. I got busier after the Statement was concluded. In fact, the point of order is just on clarification. You may proceed if it is...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a Statement by the Senate Majority Leader, which I want to read on his behalf. The status of the business pending before the Senate includes 54 Bills, of which 42 are at Second Reading and 12 at Committee of the Whole; 23 Motions pending conclusion;...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the chance. I would like to reflect on the Statement by Sen. Hamida on the use of contraceptives and how it is related to unintended pregnancies and abortions. This is a very important matter because it is right at the heart of the productive...
