Sen. Cherarkey Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you for that guidance. I was to indicate, but it is important you did. I support and the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget Committee has done a good job. This Report is well captured. Apart from the Sessional Committee on County Public Accounts...

Sen. Cherarkey Madam Temporary Speaker, there is what you call fair comment in a fair administration process. I am just making a general comment. I have not mentioned anybody's name, unless you know that person. Have I?

Sen. Cherarkey I leave that process there. However, for the benefit of the House, I would want to refer the House to Speaker Mate’s case on the decision of his removal as the Embu Speaker. If you read the principle of the High Court, it talks about such instances. Nonetheless,...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, the PSC procured the Old Mutual to provide insurance cover....

Sen. Cherarkey Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is a senior person. I cautiously informed him because he is a man full of wisdom.

Sen. Cherarkey Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is understandable when you know it is approaching the weekend. I rise to support the Local Content Bill, 2023. The issue of extractive minerals and control of any natural resource anywhere across the world continues to evoke serious reservations, especially when the...

Sen. Cherarkey Hon. Senators, both Sen. Eddie and Sen. Cherarkey, you are totally out of order. We are not here to weigh each other against how knowledgeable we are. Sen. Eddie, I want to believe that you are saying that on a light note. If you meant it, then you...

Sen. Cherarkey Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I would like to support the Public Transport (Motorcycle Regulation) Bill, 2023, because it is timely. Before I make a few comments, allow me to thank my colleagues for standing with me and offering support when I lost my elder brother, Mwalimu...
