Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Time truly moves. When the new Constitution was promulgated in 2010, one of the most exciting provisions was Article 10 that provided for national values. It specifically speaks to the values of human dignity, equity, social justice, inclusivity, equality, non-discrimination and protection...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank the Senate Majority Leader for the Statement. Whereas I have the latitude to seek clarification from him through other means, but because he has made what concerns me in public, it is fair that I seek that clarification. He has said...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, we all stood there and swore to uphold and defend the Constitution and, therefore, the rule of law. I do not have to remind any colleague here, because it is clear how a Bill becomes law. If after 14 days no communication came from...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Whip, I apologize to you. We had done this consultation with the Speaker, Hon. Kingi, but failed to bring it to your attention. The reason the distinguished Senator for West Pokot is taking the mandate is because having spoken to this Motion...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the harassment by the police of residents of the Ikolomani Constituency following a mining rights conflict between...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you. Mr. Speaker, Sir, accept my compliments for allowing us to reserve time and place for this important Motion. Allow me to equally compliment both the Senate Majority and the Senate Minority Leaders for speaking, not just from their minds, but from their hearts. In my...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On the issue of the Housing Levy, I was shocked because we were addressed by the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury who told us that they were contemplating investing the money collected from the housing levy into Treasury bills, meaning that we...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second The County Governments Additional Allocations Bill (Senate Bills No.19 of 2024) . Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Yes, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is now 12 years since we promulgated the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Not just promulgation but applying it in its current form. We have had elections in 2013, 2017 and 2022, and soon, we are going to have an election...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is the said Senator for Kakamega County, invited by the Senate Majority Leader to second the Motion. I agree and rise to do so. Whereas, Senate Majority Leader has taken a fairly reasonable short time, but seriously speaking, this is...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, when twerking, a dancer is seen moving their hips rhythmically up and down. When gyrating, a dancer swings their hips in circles. In an era where we see people twerking and gyrating their hips and telling us how they are making money, we would...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, despite the attempts by the Senator to try and take you to a wrong route, you have kept the real path. This is not a joke. May 30, 2024 SENATE DEBATES 13 Sen. (Dr.) KhalwaleAllow me to clarify to Sen. Crystal Asige. I was...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek further clarification on the issue raised about Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital. It is an oxymoron that the Governor of Nairobi City County can purport to wish to end the suffering of young people by attempting to give them lunch when,...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. If the people of Migori County will hear and record that the Senator of Migori does not know the role of oversight on the money that we are taking to Migori, he will be lucky if after five years they will still...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to congratulate the Mover of the Motion and remind him that because he has taken this chance to recommend various accolades for distinguished Members in this House, he should also remember that I deserve a bigger medal than CBS. I...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, rise to second this very important Motion on a day when the whole country is happy. Kenya is happy because if there is one area where all Kenyans agree, is that the real measure and indicator of the Constitution was the principle...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is something called stagecraft.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale That is exactly what I am doing.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very unique Motion. If the Speaker was to be offended and throw me out, he would create a serious crisis in the country because this Motion would collapse. (Laughter) May 29, 2024 SENATE DEBATES 12 Sen. (Dr.) Khalwalethings have come back...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg you to protect me from the young Senator for Nyandarua.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was saying there is need for this confusion over the Oversight Fund to end. As we support the fact that this money should be given to Nominated Senators, I would like them to be innovative. The elected Senators know--- (Sen. Orwoba...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am emphasizing the fact that the elected Senators know where they are going to focus during oversight. It is important for Nominated Senators to tell us how they will tailor their oversight. Probably, they will want to tailor their oversight on...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, because she is very knowledgeable, I plead with you that she be given a chance to speak after me, so that she informs me during her time. (Laughter)

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the amendment. Listening very carefully to the spirit in this letter of the amendment, it attempts to write something that Standing Orders are not explicit on, namely, once you walk through this door, stand there and you are sworn in...
