Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the next one. Not this particular one.

Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious and emotive matter. As Hon. Sen. Osotsi has stated, it was already before the National Assembly in the 12th Parliament, and it has escalated over a long time. This case creates an exception because ordinarily now, Kenya and the...

Yes, I will be brief. I rise to support that Statement by a wonderful Senator. The place of PWDs in this country has been left without proper structures. At times, they either fall under national or county Government. It is really hard. I urge the Senators and Members of Parliament...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Statement. There has been a serious problem in the counties. There has been delay of monies which has not been properly explained at the Council of Governors (CoGs) . Nevertheless, there have been good promises that the monies would be...

Sen. Cheptumo, please proceed.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to welcome the team from Makueni County Assembly to the Senate. I also welcome the team from Namibia. A few years ago, I visited Namibia and we were treated very well. There is a very good example of water recycling....

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like us to have a look at Standing Order No.123 which originates from Standing Order No.122 and somehow puts a procedure. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order No.123, the power rests with you. The Standing Orders assume that you already heard a hearing...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this important matter. Climate change is a very serious matter in the country and many of us believe in it. Personally, I do. That is why you see the rains have delayed. In southern part of Africa,...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am one of the neighbours in dispute with the boundary with Taita-Taveta. The Constitution of Kenya fixed the boundaries as of the districts of 1992. There is also a law which used to exist dealing with provinces as they were then. When that matter was between...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I look forward to the constitution of commissioners of the IEBC and I believe this matter will be settled as soon as possible. The matter has been to court and the court indicated that it had no jurisdiction to deal with the matter. However, I believe the...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement about Kaimosi Friends University College. When charters were being awarded, it was not just to this particular university but to quite a number of universities but all of them have not been actualized. University education is important. It equalizes Kenyans...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For a long time, Kenya Power has never taken seriously the issue of power outages. Sometimes there is no notice and then power goes off. You could be having newborns in nurseries and a certain hospital may not have back-up systems or the systems may...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this great Petition. This has been lingering on for long time for many Kenyans. It is a question former teacher and current teachers’ organizations of Makueni have been asking on behalf of their colleagues. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my...

Next Order. in terms of rare mineral rare vitamins. They are sold largely in Europe and you will find somebody chewing those nuts in almost every flight there.The problem, and we must look forward to solve, is how do we make the farmer benefit more than the brokers. This very...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your kind permission, two months ago I made a request for a Statement in relation to human-wildlife conflict in Makueni County. Unfortunately, I have not been called by the relevant Committee to make a presentation or received an answer on the same. .Yesterday, an elephant killed...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to make a Statement on behalf of Sen. Oketch Gicheru. That has not been called, I thought you wanted to contribute to--- Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have the two assignments. I would like to support the Senator for Nakuru City County and...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This matter affects all counties and I rise to support Sen. Cherarkey. I want to take a different dimension on it. When COVID-19 came, the people who suffered most were the clinical officers. The disease was new and there were no equipment to protect them....

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this very important course. The plight of counties is now worse than it has ever been. Monies have not been remitted to counties yet statutory deductions ensue. It seems that there is no communication from these different institutions...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This Bill is very important. I believe that it is still in the middle of discussions. .I thank Sen. Mungatana for cleverly and wisely crafting this Bill to avoid conflict of law. There are quite a number of other issues, which intertwine with what he...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Allow me to quote the Bible. Leviticus 13:22 states- “Do not practice homosexuality. Having sex with another man or with a woman is a staple sin” Further, Leviticus 20:13 states- “If a man practices homosexuality; having sex with another man as with a woman, both...
