and he was to come and provide proof under Standing Order No.105, then we should allow him to do that, instead of appearing like to be curtailing him. This is because some of the things he will say will be a cause of discomfort to some people. I have gone...

Yes, but I was already on a point of order, for heaven's sake.

No, they are two different ones.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have managed to quickly peruse through the long response and I have not seen much about other plans that successful governments have come up with and their effects on Vision 2030. For example, during President Uhuru Kenyatta’s time, there was the “Big Five”...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53 (1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Roads, Transportation and Housing on a matter of countywide concern regarding the status of the proposed construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Maai Mahiu to Malaba, which...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also support this Bill. One thing I want to really emphasize is that 12 counties, including my own, were given preferential treatment through the affirmative action component of the new revenue sharing formula. They are supposed to share Kshs4.46 billion for the next five years....

lately, the sport has deteriorated, largely due to governance challenges at Cricket Kenya. Something must be done about the leadership of sports organisations in this country.When we thought we had resolved the challenges in football, we were recently surprised to hear of disputes in the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) between...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I would like to join colleagues who have indicated that they will vote against this Motion. I would like to join that list of Members who are very categorical that this Mediation Report does not demonstrate why we are here. Mr. Speaker,...

impression that very little work is being done to provide decent quality health care in our county hospitals.I have particularly read the reports for Bungoma and Kakamega counties, which are counties near Vihiga County or in the same region. It is very annoying that a big referral hospital like Kakamega...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to make my remarks on the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill, 2024. As has been explained by the Majority Leader, these proposed amendments are supposed to clean up the existing Statutory Instruments Act, so that a number of provisions in that law are...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Government is a going concern. I did not specifically refer to the Kenya-Kwanza Government. I said “government”. Number two; we are specifically referring to the Ebola isolation centre issue. When you talk about by safety, there are many aspects of it in that agreement. Could you...

No, I just want to bring to your attention that sometimes, you should not allow him to bring frivolous point of orders because Sen. Cherarkey is a chief government propagandist. He comes to speak propaganda on the Floor of the House and you allow him. Allow me to finish my...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir---

Senate and from the National Assembly. I am even surprised that this Bill is emanating from the National Assembly. How can you take away the power that was given to you by the Constitution and by the people of Kenya, that you will be the only person to make laws...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second. (Question proposed) (Question put and agreed to)

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I second. (Question proposed)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to comment on two statements. The first is by Sen. Hamida Kibwana on the implementation of an integrated county payroll system. I agree with the national Government’s approach to establish a centralised and integrated payroll system, similar to what has been done for...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What is your point of order, Sen. Osotsi? Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very unfair for Sen. Cherarkey to belittle my contribution as just a political issue in our county. I am raising these matters because even after his trip to the...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to comment on the Statement by Sen. Allan Chesang on the monetization of content creators on X. I have read the Statement. I think this is the kind of statement that will just add pain to the content creators who are already paying...

Sen. Osotsi, you must stand on a point of order that is clear. Sen. Cherarkey, familiarize yourself with Standing Order No.120 which talks of irrelevance. So, speak to this important Bill and stop diverting to other things.
