Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a procedural Motion. As you are aware, Article 123 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya and the Senate Standing Orders are very clear on the role of committees. I take this opportunity to welcome Sen. Vincent Kiprono Chemitei, Cheburet as a Member...

No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they are not retired, I thought they were new. They are new but inefficient. They are retired for the day because I pronounced--- Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Serjeant-at-Arms need to relax; they should be at ease until you stand. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank my convincing lecturer of law. He is hardworking and thus was worried about the number of statements he has. I have known him as our lecturer. He used to teach us for almost three hours non-stop. I can see he still has the same energy...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I agree. In the interest of time and everybody, I will just make two points. As everybody has said, the work we do as CPAC is anchored in Article 229 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, where we consider the office of the Auditor-General...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. As I rise to second this critical Bill, I want to pick up from where the Senate Majority Leader has left. I will make a few observations because the rest of the Bill is more of a cleanup. What is happening in the State...

You know my Chair has been in the storm this week and it is understandable. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on a light note, you cannot disclose children of a Luhya man because they are never known. They are all over like the Abraham season. At least for Sen. Mungatana--- The...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I congratulate colleagues who have been elected to the Senate Business Committee (SBC) and appreciate that they have a heavy duty. Considering that this is the second to the final Fifth Session before we go to the general elections, I appeal to them, as the...

money. That is a serious peoples’ agenda and when challenged, the Ministry of Education has told the country that almost 500,000 children are not accounted for.Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot be proud of this country if we, as leadership, are not ensuring that our children progress in school. That a...

(Technical hitch)Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me just quickly utilise my three minutes. One is to support Sen. Mohamed Chute on this statement. It is so sad that there are Kenyans and animals dying in northern Kenya because of hunger. Let me repeat. It is embarrassing and shameful that 63...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I congratulate my Majority Whip and the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Sen. Wakoli. He is one of the few Senators who is experiencing a meteoric rise in this House. He came in through a by-election, became a Chairperson and then...

process. It can be measured as both civil and criminal, but beyond reasonable doubt and based on probabilities, it is political.As I was listening to the Senate Majority Leader moving, I remembered the case of Odinga and others versus the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in 2017 in the...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will comment on three statements. One is by Sen. Alexander Munyi Mundigi, Daktari. I congratulate him for bringing home the Mbeere North Wamuthende Member of Parliament. He is becoming indomitable in politics.

NLC fixes this thing once and for all, so that we can receive justice for that KDF land in Eldoret.Finally, on the issue of Pumwani lacking a functional ICU is embarrassing. It looks like nothing is working in Nairobi City County. I would like to challenge the Nairobi City MCAs....

TSC, 51 to 60 years is almost 90,459. Where do you want young people to go? That is why they can only demonstrate. That is why they wanted to overrun Parliament.I saw a feature on the Nation Television (NTV) where they captured your comments. I think it was by Paul...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I withdraw but the point has been made. Thank you for that indulgence.

Okay. I withdraw and leave it at that.

I know Sen. Osotsi will assist me. My brother, I am your good neighbour.

Finally, on the issue of Public Service Commission interns, it is the same thing where they get Kshs25,000. There is no medical cover, house allowance, transport allowance and other allowances because it is only a stipend. Listen to me my brother, Sen. Chute. If you want the young people of...

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

Is it in order for Sen. Oketch Gicheru, the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transport, to continue running over the reason and Solomonic engagement of Members of this Senate? Can he withdraw and apologise? If he does not do that, we will shoot down the report. Is it...
