Wambua Enoch Kiio

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. Sen. Wambua, what is your point of order? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, mine is just a matter of procedure. It is these small things that really reduce the dignity of this House. I have seen Sen. Cherarkey casually just cross over....

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, so that Sen. Omogeni walks the narrow path and the pride path; he has three times made reference to suspension for the remainder of the term. The decision of the Committee - if I got it right - was suspension for the remainder of the Session...

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

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am sorry I have to do this. I do not think we are doing the right thing. Under Standing Order No.52, a statement that has been issued does not have a window for Senators to contribute on that statement. Standing Order No.1 is...

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me this opportunity to join you and my colleagues in welcoming visiting students and teachers from Katutu Secondary School. Indeed, it is true that, Katutu Girls Secondary School is in Kitui County, Kauwi Ward, which is my ward. I am happy to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to take the first bite on this Petition from Taita-Taveta County that neighbours the Lower Eastern Region Counties of Kitui, Machakos and Makueni. For that reason, many people from my community are settled in Taita-Taveta. I want to say two...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a comment on the Statement requested by Sen. Ogola on the pollution of Lake Victoria. I appreciate the central role played by that water body in not just offering transportation but also that it is a source of fish for domestic and international...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1) to make a Statement on a matter of countrywide and general topical concern, namely the missing link in the list of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) recruitment centres in Kitui County. Mr. Speaker, Sir,...

Mr. Temporary Chairperson Sir, I beg to move that the Committee do report to the Senate its consideration of the Employment Amendment Bill (Senate Bills No.11 of 2022) and its approval thereof without amendments. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to) The Temporary Chairperson (Sen. Wakili Sigei) : Serjeant-at-Arms, you...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the the Cotton Industry Development Bill (Senate Bills No. 5 of 2023) be now read a Third Time and I ask Sen. Sifuna to second.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the the Cotton Industry Development Bill (Senate Bills No. 5 of 2023) be now read a Third Time and I ask Sen. Sifuna to second.

Thang’wa, Kiambu County; Sen. Wafula, Bungoma County; Sen. Wakili Sigei, Bomet County; Sen. Wamatinga, Nyeri County; and, Sen. Wambua, Kitui County.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for saving us from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. The matter raised by teachers from Kilifi County is important and weighty. I have listened carefully to what the Senate Majority Leader had to say about the payment of hardship allowances to teachers. I would like to implore...

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

Sen. Wambua, you have read the Statement. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought permission to say a word. Sen. Wambua, the permission has been denied. Thank you. You are a seasoned Member of this House. Kindly take your seat. You cannot debate your own Statement. (Sen. Omogeni spoke off record) Sen....

There is lethargy in all the committees. I am even ashamed. Chairpersons of committees must pull up their socks when it comes to processing of Senate business.There is a Statement that I sought last year in November. I am told that the Cabinet Secretary will be appearing next month to...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have done well in providing guidance on the matter of behaviour of Senators while in the Chamber or within the precincts of Parliament. I stand to be guided by the Clerks-at-the-Table on whether reference to declare Members to be grossly out of order is applicable outside...

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I almost felt the pain expressed by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. What he is asking for, in my very humble opinion, may not be the way to go. The one thing that we must all appreciate is the statement that you have made. This is...

Apologies. Sen. Mungatana, you may proceed.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to Reply. I begin where my brother, my friend, my neighbour, the Senator of Tana River has left. It is an open secret that ndengu farmers and many farmers of legumes in our country have been both oppressed and segregated over a...

Thank you, Speaker, Sir, for granting me the opportunity to set the pace for this debate. I do not know why there is so much excitement on the side that sits on the right-hand side of the Speaker but there must be a reason for it. I first want to...

It is a small thing, really, guys. I hope my time was held during that disruption. There is value in reports that are tabled in this House. It is not a Public Relations (PR) exercise, Sen. Tabitha Mutinda. They inform the debate. That is why we took 30 minutes to...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will say two things within the time that I have. Mr. Speaker, the first one---
