John Kinyua Nderitu

Sen. Kinyua I was just concerned because I know Sen. Wambua as a good editor and the book he is talking about I think is called Ngaahika Ndeenda. I did not know which book he meant that Professor Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o wrote, that ‘I will marry when I want.’ I...

Sen. Kinyua On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Kinyua Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just wanted to hear the comment of the Cabinet Secretary concerning a serious issue raised by the Auditor-General regarding the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) .

Sen. Mandago.

Sen. KinyuaBi. Spika wa Muda, kwanza kabisa ijulikane wazi kwamba pesa zinapaswa kufuata majukumu. Majukumu mengi yamepelekwa katika kaunti zetu lakini pesa zinabaki katika Serikali ya Kitaifa. Ikiwa hatutalivalia njuga jambo hili la pesa kufuata majukumu, tutakuwa tukipigania mkoba mdogo wa pesa, lakini mkubwa unao Serekali ya Kitaifa.Sisi tunapigana hapa...

Sen. Kinyua

Sen. Kinyua Asante Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii. Kwanza kabisa, naunga mkono Taarifa iliyoletwa na Kiranja wa Walio Wengi Bungeni kuhusu mfumo mpya wa afya wa SHA. Ni vizuri ijulikane ya kwamba, wakati tulipopata Katiba mpya, watu ambao walikuwa wakifanya kazi katika manispaa na gatuzi zingine, walijumuishwa katika gatuzi...

Sen. Kinyuakushughulika jambo hilo ilhali katika Kaunti ya Nyamira, pesa zinaendelea kutumika kwa njia isiyofaa kwa sababu wanaendesha vikao viwili.Kamati hiyo inayoongozwa na Sen. Wakili Sigei haioni kama hilo ni jambo ambalo linafaa kushughulikiwa kwa dharura. Wanapaswa kuleta ripoti kama ilivyofanya Kamati ya Ugatuzi na Mahusiano ya Kiserikali. Kamati ya...

Sen. Kinyua I want my good friend, Sen. Kajwang’, to clarify whether he believes in prayers because he is doubting everything. I am wondering why he does not believe in prayers. It is not in the Standing Orders. I just need clarity because I know he is a good Christian...

Sen. Kinyua On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. Kinyua(Loud consultations)

Sen. Kinyuamaafisa wakuu wa idara tofauti katika gatuzi hilo. Ni jambo la kuvunja moyo kama Kaunti ya Isiolo itakaa kwa zaidi ya miezi miwili bila ya maafisa wakuu, kwani ndio wanaoshughulikia utenda kazi katika gatuzi lile kila siku.Gavana wa Kaunti hiyo amekuwa na shida kila wakati. Kwa hivyo anafaa kutilia...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I wanted to say this when she was on the Floor. It is not true that the Committee only has lawyers. We have two very serious members who are well grounded in civil society. That is Sen. Crystal Asige and Sen. Okiya Omatatah. These are members who...

Thank you for raising that point of order. In an actual sense and very strictly speaking, that is the position, that you do not debate Members unless you have a substantive Motion. We had guided Sen. Gloria and she withdrew the aspect that dealt with the ill motive, the insinuation...

Sen. Kinyua Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. Today, I speak both as a lawyer and a Member of the Standing Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLAC) that prepared this Report. I will not be visiting the recommendations because I am part and parcel of the process that...

Sen. Kinyua Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand guided. However, I would like to first of all find out if my time has been frozen, and if I am going to get back my time. I would also like to say that as I am on the floor of...

Sen. Gloria, the point of order raised by Sen. Sigei is that, factually speaking, that Petition was committed to a joint sitting of the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations and the Committee on the JLAHR. So, stand guided.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand guided---

I have not finished. On the second point of order, the committing of that Petition was by the Chairperson of this House, that is the Hon. Speaker, who has powers under the Standing Orders to commit the Petitions. Please stand guided on those two points of orders that have been...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I am aware that this Committee recommendation is a joint committee between the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations and JLAHRC. No one is arguing whether these recommendations are from JLAHRC or from wherever else. This is a joint recommendation, and the two players here are...

Sen. Gloria, let me guide you finally on this matter. All Senators are within their rights when they raise a point of order, and they can have a right to raise at every second, especially if the Senator who is giving their contribution is raising issues that are objectionable or...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I stand guided. However, I would like to first of all find out if my time has been frozen, and if I am going to get back my time. I would also like to say that as I am on the floor of the House,...

Sen. Kinyua Sen. Kinyua, I have guided you. Please resume your seat and allow Sen. Gloria to speak. You are using her very few minutes wrongly.

Sen. Kinyua Thank you. What is your point of order, Sen. Osotsi?

Sen. Kinyua Thank you for raising that point of order. In an actual sense and very strictly speaking, that is the position, that you do not debate Members unless you have a substantive Motion. We had guided Sen. Gloria and she withdrew the aspect that dealt with the ill motive,...

Sen. Kinyua, I have guided you. Please resume your seat and allow Sen. Gloria to speak. You are using her very few minutes wrongly.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I was apologising to the petitioner, Mr. Laban, that he has brought a very strong Petition. Unfortunately, it has landed on the wrong table in terms of who should look into it in my opinion. I want to apologise to him because I am a Member of...

Thank you. What is your point of order, Sen. Osotsi?

Sen. Kinyua Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is this tree planting a public relations exercise or are we committed to it? In Laikipia County, for example, at a place called Kauka, the then Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Njeru, planted trees. However, as I speak now, there is no single tree...

Sen. Kinyua On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. April 9, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 15

Sen. Kinyua The Cabinet Secretary alluded that Kauka area is fenced off, which is not correct. In other areas like Mwateto in Laikipia, electric fencing has been installed to address similar issues. However, Kauka and Maina Village areas, all the way to Marmanet are still being affected by those elephants....

Sen. Kinyua I cannot wait for the visit, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.
