Sen. Ogola

Sen. Ogola Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Majority Whip, I never quarreled with you. I only confirmed your assertions.

Sen. Ogola Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to emphasise that the same respect that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has talked about on their region is the same respect ODM as a party calls for from each one of us. There was a reference of a blood group. I wondered...

Sen. Ogola On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Sen. Ogola Madam Temporary Speaker, is the Majority Whip insinuating that Homa Bay does not deserve services from this Government? Yes, we are Kenyans. We are County 043 and we deserve all the services. In fact, we expect more than what we have.

Sen. Ogola

Sen. Ogola Mr. Speaker, Sir, I needed to get this from the Cabinet Secretary. Hon. Cabinet Secretary, do you think last year we handled the Gen Z issues well? In your opinion as a Ministry, what are some of the innovative ways in which we could have attended to their...

Sen. Ogola Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for accepting that my head of delegation asks more than one question. I will ride on the privilege he has as his delegation.

Sen. Ogola Thank you, Sen. Chute. I just want to remind you that it is the Chair who grants any Member of the House the opportunity to speak. You cannot thus claim that you will give Sen. Nyamu the opportunity to speak. With that, Sen. Nyamu, I bet you are...

Sen. Beatrice, I want to remind you of the provisions of Standing Order No.120, so that you confine your contribution to the Motion that is before the House. In reference to a specific issue, like what you have said, then make it to be within the relevance of the Motion...

Asante sana, Bw. Spika wa muda, kwa kunipa hii nafasi ili niweze kuongea na kuunga mkono matamshi ambayo yametolewa na wenzangu siku ya leo kuhusu mchakato mzima na ombi ambao umeletwa mbele ya Seneti. Ombi hii inahusu maandishi ambayo yanaandikwa na baadhi ya magavana wanapojenga barabara, choo na vitu vingine....

kuna mambo ambayo siyo mazuri kufanya katika kaunti zetu, bado sisi wanatuchukulia to kama bwege. Siku inafika wakati watakuja kuingia kumi na nane zetu. Na ndipo wengi wakilia kuwa wanapigwa swaga.Maneno tunayoongea hapa na wakati tunaotumia tunafaa kuwa tunasikizwa. Nilisema hapo kitambo sisi ni kama mashine inayobomoa misitu ikijenga barabara...

Simba alimwuuliza, “mbona hukuleta akili? Bweha alimwuuliza, “wewe mfalme, unaona huyu punda alikuwa na akili yoyote. Angekuwa na akili, angerudi mara mbili baada ya kukatwa mkia na masikio?”Kuna mambo ambayo watu wanaambiwa na wengi wanapiga makofi katika kaunti zetu kwa sababu wanaona kana kwamba kazi imefanyika, lakini huwa wanachukuliwa rahisi...

shule ya chekechea na kuweka picha yake mlangoni. Kuliko kufanya watoto waje, wanatoroka. Umuhimu wa hizo picha zote ni nini?Bw. Spika wa Muda, nitamaliza hapo ili wenzangu waweze kuongea. Sen.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I also support this report from the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations concerning a Petition on the branding of public projects with images of governors and Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) and branding of county vehicles. This...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when they are doing this branding, they use public funds. That is wastage of public resources and there is no materiality of that. There is no value for money on that branding.I have heard many members contributing on this and everything has been said and I...

Thank you, Sen. Mariam. Sen. Mohamed Chute.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. Being a member of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, I also congratulate Mr. Laban Omusundi.

In some instances, you will find that the project has been initiated by even the former President, President Uhuru Kenyatta. If you go there today, placards are there and nothing is happening.Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Government should recognize people like Omusundi. This man is bringing issues that we are...

that the project was initiated on a certain date, institution or company that did it, project amount and completion date. That way, the issue of duplication will not be there.

Thank you, Sen. Chute. I just want to remind you that it is the Chair who grants any Member of the House the opportunity to speak. You cannot thus claim that you will give Sen. Nyamu the opportunity to speak. With that, Sen. Nyamu, I bet you are the last...

Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is interesting that Sen. Chute does not support governors branding public projects, yet he has stood here and gave conditions of how I will only get the support of the people of Marsabit people if I speak well and support this...

Public funds should not be politicized. We all know the kind of manipulation having your image on a project shows. It can be used for campaign and to measure your success. Yet, most of the time, you have nothing to do with the project. It is probably a projection that...

Hon. Members, there is no other Member to contribute to this Motion. Sen. Chute, you are a member of the Committee. I do not know whether you are ready to do a reply to the Motion. Please, proceed to do it on behalf of the Chairperson of the Standing Committee...
