Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Given that we have 22 minutes for this one, I will spare the Cabinet Secretary a few things that I wanted to say. Let me just go straight to the Question. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Economic...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Two quick ones; number one, I expected the Cabinet Secretary would give us actual amounts because that was my biggest interest. Since it is public money that is used to pay Pension, I thought he would tell us the amount of money that the lowest...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the way Sen. Ojienda is pointing at me, I am not sure I am safe. I want protection from you. Sen. Ojienda, I have noted you. Kindly resume your ordinary seat. Just proceed and do it quietly, please. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for your protection. My...

I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to also stand in solidarity with our colleague, Sen. Dullo, who has suffered a sexist attack from a fellow leader in the same county. I would like this House to take note that sometimes last year when the Senate Standing...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to eulogize Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o. I am a student of literature and I have studied a number of works by Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o. I stand here today to pass my condolences, as well as the condolences of the...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I beg to continue. I will start by conveying my condolences to the family of Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, the people of Kamirithu and the entire literary world on the passing on of Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o. It shall be remembered by lovers and...

Is it a point of order or he needs some information? Sen. Kinyua is part of the cartel that stopped the progress of this session. So, ignore him. I believe so. I will not respond to him. The thing that Sen. Kinyua must know is that a lot of works...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With your permission, I will read the two Statements. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations on a matter of countywide concern regarding the resurgence of banditry in Kitui...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have listened to what our colleague, Sen. Osotsi, has said. (Sen. Oketch Gicheru consulted loudly) Sen. Eddy, you may want to listen to this. Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe what Sen. Osotsi has said makes sense, but there is one thing that we, as leaders,...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I second.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hear the Senate Majority side is whipping their Members from the comfort of their chairs. I rise in support of the Disbursement Schedule and I will make a few comments on this. I have looked at the First Schedule and I associate myself fully...

Sen. Aaron Cheruiyot, proceed.

Well guided, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will leave the institutional memory thing out and just go straight to this matter. There is a reason we had agreed on a kamukunji. We wanted to consult amongst ourselves informally and take a position. After which, we would move the Motion and...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to join you on behalf of my colleagues in the Senate to extend a warm welcome to the visiting delegation from the USA. For the avoidance of doubt and to clear the mind of the Chairman of my Committee of Roads and...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rarely agree with Sen. Cheruiyot, but I totally agree with him on that matter of personalising battles on the Floor of the House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand here to make comments on the Statement brought to the Floor by Sen. Danson Mungatana, my...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek your direction before the Cabinet Secretary gets in. I had received communication from the Office of the Clerk that the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning will be appearing this morning to respond to Questions, including a question...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mine will not be a question. I just want to make a comment on the response that the Cabinet Secretary has brought. I will begin by congratulating her. This is her maiden appearance in this House. Truth be told, from where I sit, she has...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What I do with my question time is my business. It is not the business of the Senator of Kakamega. Therefore, I will proceed to make my comments. I have seen Cabinet Secretaries who have appeared before us before, and they have been all over...

I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will make a comment on the Statement by Sen. Karen Nyamu. Karen Nyamu, Senator, I am making a comment on your Statement. It would be important for you to listen, because it is an important statement. On 17th December, 2010, a vendor by...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very rare to get a frivolous point of order from me. The only concern I have is that my friend Sen. Sifuna is extensively quoting a document that is not tabled. That is my only problem. It is like music to my ears. He...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I like the parting shot by Sen. Sifuna. He is craving love from the Government so that he can love back. I am sure there is nothing out of order in that statement. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the onset, I would like to...

We have relaxed. It is my time now. Thank you, Speaker, Sir. My question flows from the response of the Cabinet Secretary on part (c) of the question asked by Sen. Mbugua on the issue of the ongoing work to integrate disability employment data within the UHRIS. The Cabinet Secretary...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is getting worse. Last week, we had a similar situation with the CS for National Treasury. He communicated after we had assembled that he was not going to attend the meeting. We are waiting for the CS for Health just for us to learn that...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have been called upon to second the amendment to this Motion. As we second the amendment to this Motion, let it be known to all of us in this House, that the county assemblies are what is referred to as regional parliaments in other...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would like to help the Chair to manage Sen. Olekina and the Senate Minority Leader who were entirely disrupting the proceedings. We desire to listen to the Senator as well as the Chair to coordinate and manage the House. Is...

You want me to proceed?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not doubt that. The only problem I have is that the Chair of the committee is not in the House. So, I would like to address the Speaker. One of the issues that we are dealing with here is having different assemblies in one...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me go on record. What you are doing is not right. Honestly, what is happening is not right.

recommendations and apply themselves to the situations that they face on the ground, as far as devolution is concerned.Lastly, I have heard that the Committee wants to go back and have sessions with the Governor and the Senator, who is actually the leader who brought the Statement to this House....

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am seeking your indulgence under Standing Order No.1 because you have made a statement that is really very pregnant; the issue of the mistreatment of the Senate by PSC and by extension, the National Assembly. I am asking if it is possible to give...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I will be brief and comment on the statement you read as the Chair of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. I have keenly listened to colleagues making reference to the process of appointment of the new IEBC commissioners and a reference has been...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I walked in when Sen. Cherarkey was making a passionate appeal for time out on this Motion by Sen. Ali Roba. The truth is that this is perhaps one of the most important engagements of the Senate in its five years. This is because it...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for that communication. I just want to go on record and register my disappointment with the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning because, if my memory serves me right, this is the second time that the Cabinet Secretary is failing to present himself...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot argue with your ruling, but that is not procedural. Once a debate has started, you cannot limit it just like that but that is fine. That is why I said that this is not a debate. You are supposed to make comments on the...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Under Standing Order No.56, the chairpersons are supposed to report on progress made within the three months. The Senator for Mandera County who seems to have benefited from a visit by the committee, is giving us a report on the visit....

Conclude your comments.

I want to inform Sen. Cherarkey so that he does not belabour responding to that issue. The point of contention is that when committee visits me as governor, I want a situation where a visit to my office does not look like it is the central theme of the committee...
