Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move- THAT, aware that many urban areas and towns in Kenya lack designated car parking areas as a result of imbalance between parking supply and demand mainly due to ineffective land use planning and miscalculations of space requirements, thereby leading to exorbitant parking fees;...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. I have been privileged to visit the islands that my brother, Sen. M. Kajwang’, has spoken about on multiple occasions. The first time, I was accompanied by Sen. Wakili Sigei, the Senator for Bomet County. He can bear me...

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to give Notice of the following Motion- THAT AWARE that, many urban areas and towns in Kenya lack designated car parking areas as a result of imbalance between parking supply and demand mainly due to ineffective land use planning and miscalculations of...

Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity, as the Senator for Nairobi City County, to welcome the students from Leadership Academy. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why your decision on the discussions that were ongoing before is very critical. In fact, when students come...

Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I want to avail myself of the protection of both Standing Order No. 121 and of the Chair. This is because in the course of this debate, we have seen a lot of interruptions especially from our friends on the Majority...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can see why I took the earliest possible opportunity to seek your protection. I know exactly what I am expecting on this Floor this afternoon. Let me conclude that particular point that I was making. All of us now recognise that we have one leadership...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to warn him that before he informs me, he should know that I am also a farmer.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I doubt that I have any more information than I left with when I went to sit down but I thank my brother for the effort. We had a plan as well for reduction of the cost of living. We believe there is an alternative path...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I conclude, as I see my time is almost up. The decision such as the lift on the ban of GMOs is a radical policy pronouncement. We have told the Majority side, that we believe it is a matter upon which further public participation ought to...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect, this is the reason why I was asking for your protection. I am not introducing any matter. I am addressing myself to the President’s proposal on food security. I am allowed by the Standing Orders to read brief references from authorities like...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to inform my colleague that as we speak, the “hustler” Government that you put in place in Nairobi City County, is evicting those hawkers you are speaking about from the Central Business District (CBD) . I want you to join me because we...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On behalf of the Nairobi City County delegation, I welcome our lovely students from Karen C. You may wave to the Senators so that they can see you. (The visiting delegation waved) Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would have loved to introduce the rest of the...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What is your point of order, Senator for Nairobi City County? Mr, Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.95 that prohibits a Senator from reading a speech which is exactly what my sister is doing.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, welcome to Nairobi. Reading from the Motion on the Order Paper, it makes reference to Standing Order No. 110 (4) . My copy of the Standing Orders has Standing Order No.111 (4) as the order dealing with the limitation of debate on Motions. Do I have...

My senior, Sen. Murkomen, likes to tell us that we are new people. We may be new in this Senate but we are not new to reading. It is very straightforward here. Perhaps, when you began with your communication on leadership, you started by telling us who wrote you what...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to oppose this Motion. We are a House of rules, guided by the law and most importantly precedence. The practice that you set today with the first Committee that we are going to constitute will set the tone for everything. I have it...

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

Mr. Speaker, Sir, my point of order is that it is not in the place of Sen. Cheruiyot or any of us here to determine the unconstitutionality of any law or tradition as set out under Article 2 that he is quoting for you. So, if--- (Loud Consultations)
