Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Cabinet Secretary has admitted in many words that since the disbandment of the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya in 2013, the crop has walked a very painful journey towards being an orphaned cash crop. He has also admitted that there is global demand for natural insecticides and...

Senator, he was to notify the Committee if there was misinterpretation. So, that opportunity was given. Senator, he was to notify the Committee if there was misinterpretation. So, that opportunity was given.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speker, Sir.

Committee. That is the directive of the Chair. I will allow you to continue on the basis of that directive.

Then allow me to debate.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will say a few things about the Report. It is fair that when we bring reports from committees, it is okay for Members to debate those reports, tear them into pieces and help us improve on them. What is unacceptable is for Members...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also take this opportunity to join you, on behalf of my colleagues from both sides of the divide, to extend a warm welcome to the two delegations that have visited the Senate today; from Bungoma and the CoG. We hope that your presence here...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Cherarkey also needs to be reminded that these are the fruits of some engagement called “broad-based government.” If you make your bed, you must be willing to lie on it. Article 125 of the Constitution, which is a higher authority, is very clear that either...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I wonder what is out of order. If Sen. Eddy wants to speak before me, he can. I have no problem picking my number and joining the queue. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, because you have given me the opportunity, first of all, I thank...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On the point of order that you have ruled on, my view is that this Motion does not seek to debate the report. What is before us is not the report of the Maraga team, but the Mover of the Motion has just made...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, can I say I will disapprove my critics shortly?

Sen. Cherarkey, relax. Relax, Sen. Cherarkey. We listened to you when you were talking. We were calm. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, two things. One, I have not even landed. I have not even said anything. I just mentioned--- The same Standing Orders prohibit Sen. Cherarkey and I from anticipating debate....

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. Cherarkey is my gym-mate. We go to the gym together and he tells me all the time that I am a warrior. I am wondering why he is troubled. I have not been saying anything. The warriors in this House must act and...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I heard bishops of the Kenya Assemblies of God make reference to the Senator for Nandi County. They said that the pulpit is desecrated, hence the Senator for Nandi County should not have used the pulpit to say the things that he said. Those are not...

I do not know. Nobody knows.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mine is also on that word, “operationalization”. Could the Cabinet Secretary respond, if he will? We have a number of new sub-counties created in Kitui County, including Tharaka Thagicu. He knows I fought with him here to create that sub-county. It was created and...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to take it from where the Majority Leader has left off, on that matter that has been raised by Sen. Sifuna. It is a very serious issue. Those of us who have had the opportunity to attend the activities that take place around...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to the Motion by Sen. Cherarkey. The internship programme by the PSC is important because it taps into millions of young people who have left school and colleges and are not engaged. The programme gives...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to make a brief comment on the statement sought by Sen. Okiya Omtatah on the privatisation status of Webuye Pan Paper Mills. It will be important for the Committee to which this statement is committed to clear the air about a very fundamental...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Those are interesting responses, because in the words of the Cabinet Secretary, the Government has clearly let the workers be dealt with by private investors in determining who continues to work and who has got to go home. However, the question I have for the...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is with a heavy heart that I beg to give notice of the following Motion- AWARE THAT His Excellency the President issued a Proclamation on Wednesday, 15th October, 2025 communicating the passing on of the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, EGH, former Prime Minister; FURTHER...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion- AWARE THAT His Excellency the President issued a Proclamation on Wednesday, 15th October, 2025 communicating the passing on of the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, EGH, former Prime Minister; FURTHER AWARE THAT, the late Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga,...

Hon. Members, please, it is for our own safety. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to welcome the students and teachers who are visiting the Senate this afternoon. I wish they would recognise that they are not at the County Assembly of Busia, but attending a sitting of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya....
