Wambua Enoch Kiio

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is Kiio. Thank you for indulging us to just make brief comments on the procedural Communication from the Chair. I think the Senate has put its best foot forward with the names of the Members that have been appointed to this Mediation Committee. In fact,...

A chairman of a committee would want the world to believe that the revenue allocation in the equitable share to counties in the 2023/2024 Financial Year was at Kshs374 billion. However, we all know that we passed Kshs385 billion making it the baseline for the decision on how much to...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand in full support and in solidarity with the sentiments expressed by the Senator for Kakamega. It is literally a dark day in this Parliament and the country. It is unfortunate that on a day like this when the Senator for Kitui and the Deputy...

Sen. Sifuna has a problem seeing me. They can only hear, but not see me because I am dark. Is it in order that this sitting must continue this way? My appeal to you is that you adjourn this House until we get confirmation from the management of this House...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know why the Senate Majority Leader is so excited about visitors from my office. I take this opportunity to join you and my colleagues. I am equally excited by the excitement among my colleagues, especially Sen. Kinyua. At some point, he was unsure whether...

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish the Cabinet Secretary and his department well as they try to establish a nexus between this crime and those people they are saying have not been netted yet. Mine is a related question and a request to the Cabinet Secretary. Mr. Speaker,...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I believe this will not be another ambush to the Cabinet Secretary. My question is in relation to a matter that the Cabinet Secretary knows very well; the matter of the Tharaka Thagishu Sub-County. He knows because he was part and parcel of the...

Sen. Wambua, you may continue with your contribution as that aspect that has been brought to the attention of the Speaker is dealt with. Proceed, Sen. Wambua. (Loud consultations) (Laughter) Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The Senator of Kilifi is developing habits that are not very good. Thank you...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Thank you, Sen. Methu for being so vigilant. I will be guided by the clock that I am facing. (Laughter) The national Government, in terms of taking operations, is responsible for the teaching, research and referral hospitals, and should not meddle in the operations...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1) to make a Statement on a matter of national and general topical concern, namely; the terror attack of Monday, 29th April, 2024 in Mandera County, which has caused distress to numerous families and victims. On Monday, 29th...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I believe that we are speaking to the amendment. That is the Motion that is before the House. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am fully in support of the amendment as moved and seconded on the Floor. When we were debating the original Motion,...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. (The Temporary Chairperson (

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. It is just a matter of procedure. You had called the Conflict of Interest Bill (National Assembly Bills No.12 of 2023) , and after consultation with the Senate Majority Leader, a decision has been made that you suspend that. You should...

The Temporary Chairperson (

AYES: Sen. Abass, Wajir County; Sen. Ali Roba, Mandera County; Sen. Dullo, Isiolo County; Sen. Cherarkey, Nandi County; Sen. Cheruiyot, Kericho County; Sen. Chesang, Trans Nzoia County; Sen. Chute, Marsabit County; Sen. Faki, Mombasa County; Sen. Gataya Mo Fire, Tharaka Nithi County; Sen. Githuku, Lamu County; Sen. Joe Nyutu, Murang’a...

The Temporary Chairperson (

Madam Temporary Speaker, it is the same plea. Listening to the counsel for the Assembly, they are not asking to spend more time than they have. They are just asking to spend their time differently. I heard another witness here say it is the way he manages his finances. So,...

Madam Temporary Speaker, allow me to engage the witness briefly. I will be done within two minutes. His Excellency Deputy Governor, what is the official title of one Lucy Wahito? The Deputy Governor (Hon. (Dr.) Robert Monda) : Madam Temporary Speaker, the official title is Chief Officer. That is what...

The Deputy Governor (Hon. (Dr.) Robert Monda): Madam Temporary Speaker, I have never owned an M-Pesa business. What Mr. Misati averred to in his witness was his own M-Pesa business and not mine.Number two, the hon. Senator has referred to a case that I saw in this House yesterday about...

That is well guided, Madam Temporary Speaker. However, in the same breath you should also require of the witness to respond decisively to questions without expounding on anything.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, requires that public officers, public servants and state officers must bring honour and dignity to the nation and to their offices. I will leave it to the conscience of the nation to judge whether or not the behaviour and...

Secondly, this is likely to happen again and again. You sat as the SBC and agreed that the Cabinet Secretary for Gender, Culture, the Arts and Heritage was supposed to appear at 11.00 a.m. However, if we take what the Senate Majority Leader said and we have no reason to...

As I said, if we are to be seen to be serious - and we must be seen to be serious - then we should not just debate this Motion and go home. We must come up with a resolution on how to deal with this kind of shame. That...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second. (Question Proposed) [The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Abdul Haji) in the Chair]

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee on the said report. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to)

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the County Boundaries Bill (Senate Bills No.6 of 2023) be now read a Third time.

I request Sen. Cheruiyot to second

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have known the Senator for Garissa to be a very patient leader. I did not know that the patience would be as much as has been demonstrated today. The Senator for Garissa has persevered with the shame and the rot in the administration...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to add my voice on the Division of Revenue Bill, 2024. I want to make a few remarks beginning with a conflict in the Bill itself. I have heard the explanation from the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget...

Sen. Methu, do you want to give yourself the Floor when the Chair is holding the House? Madam Temporary Speaker, I heard you call me and I want to make the best out of the five minutes that I have before we adjourn. As a Member who sits in CPAC,...

Mr. Chairman, Sir, I am commenting and have not taken half the time people have taken to say many things. The Chairperson (

Mr. Chairman, Sir, I am concluding. I am happy that the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries is listening to me, even if the Chairperson of the Committee of the Whole is not listening to me. The thing about growers and zoning is that zoning is meant...

(Sen. Cheruiyot, Sen. M. Kajwang’, Sen. Omogeni, Sen. Wambua, and Sen. Cherarkey approached the Dispatch Box and consulted the Chairperson) The Majority Leader and your team, consult behind the Dispatch Box, so that we can make progress.(Question, that New Clause 19A be read a Second Time proposed) (Loud consultations)

Bw. Spika wa Muda, nashukuru kwa kunipa nafasi kusimama kwenye hoja la nidhamu. Nimemsikia Seneta wa Kakamega akidai kuwa alimuona kinara Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, subiri kidogo kwa sababu kuna hoja nyingine ya nidhamu.

Maseneta, nadhani Sen. (Dr.)

Senators, please let him say it for himself. While speaking about the effects of this flooding in this country, you begin to ask yourself, what is it with our road engineers? Why is it that we do not seem to get many things right? Somebody would have thought that because...

Madam Temporary Speaker, the last time I checked --- (Loud consultations)

Last time I checked, Sen. Kinyua only acted in that position for a few weeks. He is not the Speaker of the House. Madam Temporary Speaker, I take orders from the Speaker and you have ordered me to second. Through your orders and not any other orders, I second.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Bill sponsored by Sen. Cherarkey on the threshold for the removal of a Member of the Executive in the county government. As we support this Bill, it should also be noted, as I heard the Senate Majority Leader say,...
