Sen. Osotsiand he was to come and provide proof under Standing Order No.105, then we should allow him to do that, instead of appearing like to be curtailing him. This is because some of the things he will say will be a cause of discomfort to some people. I have...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I opened, I talked about mathematics coming from mathematics and one plus one not always adding up to two and circumstances where one plus one just remains one, I was pointing at exactly this kind of misbehavior; this kind of misconduct. Maybe we are here...

Yes, what is wrong with that? Who said I have to bring one document? The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) I think you are not ready to substantiate.

Sen. Osotsi[The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) left the Chair] [The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) in the Chair] The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) No. Honorable Senator, you are entitled to only one question.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to congratulate the Cabinet Secretary for the ongoing automation of financial transactions as evidenced by e-GP and eCitizen. Hearing you, you want to make it more efficient and less corrupt, which is a good thing. This is my question; government services are a right. In...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. My question is very specific. I have listened to the Cabinet Secretary’s response. Despite the fact that there is a requirement to use this e-GP system to procure everything in government, there is the issue of essential services that if they face any glitch of...

Is there a deliberate effort to make sure that this system is not stalling the issue of essential services in our counties such as drugs, billing for water services, and most importantly, sometimes the procurement that goes with services that are affecting the employees in the county? What is the...

Sen. Osotsi No, they are two different ones.

Sen. Osotsi Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also support this Bill. One thing I want to really emphasize is that 12 counties, including my own, were given preferential treatment through the affirmative action component of the new revenue sharing formula.

Sen. Osotsilately, the sport has deteriorated, largely due to governance challenges at Cricket Kenya. Something must be done about the leadership of sports organisations in this country.When we thought we had resolved the challenges in football, we were recently surprised to hear of disputes in the Football Kenya Federation (FKF)...

Bw. Spika, asante kwa kunipa fursa hii. Nataka kuchangia kauli iliyoletwa na Seneta wa Kitui kuhusu hospitali. Jambo tunalopaswa kuzingatia sana ni afya. Afya imepelekwa katika gatuzi zetu, lakini ukitembelea hospitali nyingi za gatuzi, kama alivyotaja, unapata wagonjwa watatu hadi wanne wamelazwa katika kitanda kimoja, ilhali wana magonjwa tofauti. Hii...

Sen. Osotsi Sen. Osotsi, your time is up. Sen. Mwenda Gataya, please, proceed.

Sen. Osotsiimpression that very little work is being done to provide decent quality health care in our county hospitals.I have particularly read the reports for Bungoma and Kakamega counties, which are counties near Vihiga County or in the same region. It is very annoying that a big referral hospital like...

Sen. Osotsi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to comment on two statements. The first is by Sen. Hamida Kibwana on the implementation of an integrated county payroll system. I agree with the national Government’s approach to establish a centralised and integrated payroll system, similar to what has been...

Sen. Osotsi On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) What is your point of order, Sen. Osotsi? Sen. Osotsi Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very unfair for Sen. Cherarkey to belittle my contribution as just a political issue in our county. I am raising these...

Sen. Osotsi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to comment on the Statement by Sen. Allan Chesang on the monetization of content creators on X. I have read the Statement. I think this is the kind of statement that will just add pain to the content creators who are...

Sen. Osotsi Sen. Osotsi, you must stand on a point of order that is clear. Sen. Cherarkey, familiarize yourself with Standing Order No.120 which talks of irrelevance. So, speak to this important Bill and stop diverting to other things. April 28, 2026 SENATE DEBATES 31 The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri)...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not divert. In fact, I was referring to him, through you, as the Chairperson of the Committee on County Public Investments and Special Funds. I said that even as we disburse the money, as a House, we must also ensure that there is prudent...

He looks excited to inform me, I will not decline.

Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to inform Sen. Cherarkey that the proposal of the Senate through the Committee on Finance and Budget is actually Kshs454 billion. The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) Sen. Cherarkey, I thought that you were aware of those figures by now.
