Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to comment on the statement by the Nairobi Senator on the unfortunate killings by trigger happy police officers during the public viewing of the Right Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. As I pass my deepest condolences to the families who have lost their...

Thank you so much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. From the onset, I would like to congratulate distinguished Sen. Ledama Olekina for breathing life to Article 96 of the Constitution 2010 on the role of the Senate. The same goes to his Co-Sponsor, Sen. Kisang, for this wonderful...

Am I confused? Let us have the HANSARD, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. (Loud consultations)

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, may I be protected? I heard him when he was speaking. Can I substitute---

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me rephrase by saying he is misleading the House.

What is your point of order, Sen. Joyce? (Loud consultations)

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I remember your ruling very well on the contents of speech under Standing Order No.103. I did not mention any name. I suspect the distinguished Nominated Senator from Bomet might have been in Chepalungu Forest when out of nowhere, she started saying that I was discussing...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have been very careful as per Standing Orders 101 and 103 and your ruling on the contents of speech. I have not mentioned individuals. However, as they say, the guilty are always afraid. I think some people want to create content for TikTok on the...

just financial auditors? Let us give the Office of the Senator capacity and ability. It is not about funds. This is so that, when I go and visit Kapseng’ere Hospital in Terik Ward or Kobujoi next to Governor Sang's home, which has stalled for some time, and say, where is...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise, pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1) to make a statement on a matter of general topical concern regarding the untimely demise of Hon. Elijah Kiptarbei Lagat and to pay tribute to a life well lived. I rise with deep sorrow, solemn remembrance and...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on a matter of national concern regarding reports of systemic discrimination and unfair labour practices at the...

(Inaudible)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. (Loud consultations) Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order, under Standing Order 105, for the great Sen. Wamatinga to lie, yet I sat next to him? Are we old? Sen. Githuku and I were there. Could he be factual instead of misleading...

I am wondering, why we call it a One-Stop Border Post (OSBP). There is none. You have 22 agencies that you have to clear with. Unless I am not good at English languge, why would you say OSBP, one clearance? It is 22 border posts. That is the reality. This...

The County Government of Busia misled us yesterday and yet they are charging Kshs2,500 for the trailer, Kshs1,000 for the canter and Kshs2,000 for dairy products. If we have to be efficient, let us have a multi-agency approach to ensure that we have proper efficiency of trade. I hope that...

Now, Senators, we have done one hour on this particular business. So let us rest it at that.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is Sen. Kiprotich Cherargey with G-E-Y, but I understand. BRUTAL KILLING AND USE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE BY POLICE AT KIMWANI AREA, NANDI COUNTY Senator for Muranga County, Hon. Joe Nyutu.

[The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) left the Chair] [The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Mumma) in the Chair]

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you need to protect me from Sen. Olekina. [The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kathuri) left the Chair] [The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Mumma) in the Chair] and Powers that be felt that I should not be awarded. I later served as the Vice Chairperson of the Committee on...

No, I do not want to be informed. Sen. Cherarkey, does not want to be informed. Sorry. Proceed. Madam Temporary Speaker, that is why I was talking about national honours. Let us reward people who are good in leadership, science, culture, sports and many others fields. We have people like...

Madam Temporary Speaker, what is the name of the father to Raila? The father to Raila is Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. Those are the freedom fighters. My grandfather, Jean-Marie Seroney was also a freedom fighter. Why is it that when they write history, they want only to recognise people from Mt....

Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you. I am surprised because Sen. Veronica is a Member of Speaker's panel. I thought she knows the difference---

Madam Temporary Speaker, could I conclude? Sen. Cherarkey, would you like to be informed by Sen. Kinyua? Yes, please.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I think that was a lot of disinformation. Sen. Cherarkey, please, just focus. I deny that information. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those many remarks, so that my colleagues can also contribute, we should stop revising history in this country. I support the Bill.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to express my profound and deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Simon Warui. When I saw his spouse speaking to the media, it was heartbreaking. It must be noted that these are not mere statistics, they are human lives. I join my...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to ask the Cabinet Minister for Education what his position is, because most of these challenges stem from the running and effectiveness of junior secondary schools. What is the Ministry's position on the independence and governance structure of managing junior secondary schools,...

Hon. Senators, as much as practically possible, let us ask supplementary questions that are related to the primary question. Honestly speaking, I do not know whether the Cabinet Secretary has an answer on that school, unless you are now giving him some work to do so that he reports back...

Ask the question. What do you need to be assisted to know? Finally, he should give us the interventions. Are they working in collaboration with National Government Administration Officers (NGAO), so that they ensure 100 per cent transition rate of our children?Mr. Deputy Speaker, I yield.

Madam Temporary Speaker, mine is a straightforward question. Is there a policy by the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife on the use of sportsmen and sportswomen? For example, on Arsenal FC jerseys, it is written “Visit Rwanda.” When our athletes were running in Tokyo, there was no indication that people...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move- THAT, AWARE THAT, the Public Service Commission (PSC) has provided internship opportunity to many youths in various Government Departments and Agencies for a period not exceeding one year pursuant to Guidelines on Management of the Public Service Internship Programme of October,...

My reading culture is different, Madam Temporary Speaker. Your Clerks-at-the-Table do not understand me. I am reading everything that is here. Okay, let me read. I think the Kenyan style is that you must look at it as you read. Let me do so. NOW THEREFORE, the Senate resolves that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare on a matter of national concern, regarding the implementation of the Government's new reward scheme, stipends and the general welfare for sportsmen and women....

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. I support the Statement on the issue of tea. It would interest the House to know that this unfairness continues to October 1, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 18823 bedevil all of us. As I talk today, four months down the line, the Kenya Cooperative...

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

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of law and procedure. Looking at the Petition, I tend to believe that our distinguished Committee might have misused our resources because the intention of the petition is already provided in law. I want to invite you to Section 32 of...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me canvas my point, so that I do not lose the trail of thought.

No, no, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am coming home. I am coming home, kindly. No, you do not know whether I am home or not. Let me conclude. The intention of any statement or any petition or motion---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on point of law and point of procedure, and of course, point of order under Standing Order No.135 on the accuracy or the information or even the contents of speech. My concern is on what we are intending to achieve yet Section 32 (3)...

Could I get informed and then I conclude?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, then let me finish. I am aware that you have also a legislative proposal on how deputy governors should be appointed. So, what do we intend to achieve? That is my only concern on point of law and procedure.

Articles 179 all the way to Article 181 talk about the office of the governor. The deputy governors should not be flower girls or page boys. They should be assigned responsibilities. That should be the case even for the Deputy President.History is a good teacher. You remember that executive order...

Sen. Boni Khalwale, is the incoming governor of Kakamega County.

Sen. Cherarkey, proceed to contribute.

That is why the say, “Konyiit ko ten tany ak muren”. That is respectful. (Sen. Methu walked into the Chamber) Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am happy Sen. Methu has walked back. He has missed very heavy legal points.

Thank you. So, let me move to point number four. I was making the point that we are trying to curtail the work of--- By the way, I have tremendous respect for deputy governors. When I was a Member of the Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, they...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Deputy Governor of Trans-Nzoia County, Philomena Kapkory, brought an issue of frustration in running of Trans-Nzoia County, where she had been attacked publicly by people close to the governor. She had been denied access to the office. She could not access her office, the vehicles...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will substitute, so that he becomes comfortable. He has a liking for the Deputy President, Prof. Kithure Kindiki---

I however understand where Methu comes from with the current issues of forex---

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, can I be protected? Sen. Joyce is aware. She is not in Mulot.

is not the business of USA to protect the borders of Somalia and Kenya. He said that their business is to look inward, making America great again.What I learnt from his speech when he was addressing generals from all over the world was to encourage Africans to look inwards. As...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What is your point of order, Senator for Nandi County? You seem to be restless. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I did not want to interrupt, but I rise under Standing Order No.105 on accuracy of facts. Is it in order for...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know why I should substantiate the obvious, but I follow your direction. I have the TIFA report in soft copy. Do I table my phone or am I supposed to send to you in soft copy? The issue was--- What is in the...

What is your point of order, Sen. Mo Fire? (Sen. Gataya Mo Fire spoke off record)

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Mine is on the issue of global fund staff. I make an appeal for the Global Fund staff and Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff. There was a directive by the President that all UHC staff, including Global Fund staff that is approaching almost 10,000, must...

(Laughter)

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I support this Motion. It is more of a Procedural Motion. However, I want to correct a misconception that was advanced by my neighbor, that when we are on dates with girls and wives, they pay our bills. They do not. In...

is Kshs50. However, when you go to government offices, they are buying it at almost Kshs1,000, because of that gridlock.I agree that county and national governments are mutual, distinct and semi- autonomous. However, we must agree to make sure they own the e-procurement system being rolled out by the Council...

Dispensary has stalled. My neighbour knows that. When you come to Kobujoi, a stone throw-away from my place, you will find Kobujoi Hospital that has been stalled.I want to appeal to him that we have passed allocations for the money. At least he can build a public toilet in Kobujoi...

Sen. Wakwapi.

Wakwabubi. One of our ---

Sen. Consolata, you will teach me privately.

Madam Temporary Speaker, in conclusion ---

Sen. Osotsi? No, I am not withdrawing. I will table the TIFA report tomorrow to show that UDA is the most popular party. In fact, President William Ruto

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of Nairobi, let us not waste time. Nairobi is pathetic and also a crime scene. Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) of Nairobi should have impeached Hon. Sakaja a long time ago. When you drive across the city, you will see that the...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I am just getting started. However, in the interest of time, I respect your direction. I told you that you have less than one minute. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in law, there is what we call judicial notice. It was in the public domain...

Well guided, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with a lot of respect. Finally, on the issue of Kilifi, I was sad when I saw children being forced to recite prayers. I do not have a problem with donors but that is a systemic failure. It is sad that Kshs800 billion is...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as Sen. Ledama prepares his Bill, I would like to offer the following comments. As I rise to support this Motion on automating and decentralizing the certificate of good conduct, one of the greatest burden on young people, many of whom are unemployed, is the cost...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are under your mercy and your indulgence, so, the Senator should not give directions. Blame the Mover of the Bill. I gave you 15 minutes. Before I make two comments, I would like to pass my deepest condolences to you and the people of Chebunyo...
