Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale On a point of order, Mr. Speaker Sir.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am firmly aware that when you approved this Statement, as the Mover has done and as the point of order has demonstrated, you did not wish to introduce the issue of tribalism in our military. Segregation against men in our Constitution---

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the Leader of the Majority, I am privileged to make the following response: I am responding to the Bill on meteorology, which is here for the reasons that were moved by the Leader of the Majority. I take this opportunity...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I had just opened my mouth before my time was up. Therefore, allow me to repeat that I rise to move that the Public Transport (Motorcycle Regulation) Bill (Senate Bills No.38 of 2023) be read a second time. This is a Bill that...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Uasin Gishu is right. However, I was reporting what I observed. If what I observed is acceptable to the law enforcers and distinguished Senators, you will make a proper suggestion. Nonetheless, I find the sitting position by the women in...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I can cry, but I do not want to. How can we be burying people in golden graves, digging toilets in golden areas and then not become rich? We bury our dead in gold.

Sen. (Dr) Khalwale

Thank you, Sen. (Dr.) Boni. I gave you some time because I could see you were talking about the pride of the people in Kakamega. That is why I gave you time.

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwaleprospecting. We have unscrupulous companies to which your Department grants prospecting licences, but they come to do mining.A case in point is in Kakamega, where Shanta Gold has been prospecting for 21 years. Three years ago, the people of Kakamega came together and refused - that Shanta Gold...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale

Hon. Members, I am trying to follow what the Senator is saying, but there seems to be some interruption from my right-hand side. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to appeal to the young Sen. Nyamu to know that in Parliament no two Senators can be...

Sasa Bw. Spika wa Muda, alijaribu kunikosoa na nikasema ya kwamba ningependa kumsaidia kwa sabubu haelewi mambo ya mpira. Nimesema ya kwamba kabla mchezaji Ouma Chege astaafu alifungia timu yake ya Harambee Stars ambayo ni timu ya Taifa, mabao mengi. Hatuwezi ongea kuhusu Olunga kwa sababu hajastaafu kucheza mpira. Bado...

Mchango mwingine umetoka kwa Sen. Mungatana. Unajua siku zote jicho linaona lakini jicho pia huingia kitakataka. Nashangaa Sen. Mungatana anazungumzia maswala ya Mombasa akisema kuwa tuangalie tusifuje pesa za serikali. Lakini tukiangalia Kaunti ya Tana River, haina hata uwanja wa stadium. Huu ni mchango ambao sio wa Mombasa pekee, lakini...

Sen. Eddy, you understand the Standing Orders of this House. Should you want to proceed in English, please do so.

Bw. Spika wa Muda, nimekuwa katika Bunge hili sasa unaelekea mwaka wa pili. Sijawahi kuona Seneta wa Kakamega akicheza hata mchezo wa akina mama wa kufunga mpira na kamba. Unajulikana kama “bladii.” (Laughter)

Umetoa wapi hiyo? Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Inatoka kwenye mtandao ambao huweka rekodi za kitaifa. Nakuomba utafute kwenye Google.

Kwa kupitia tu, ningependa kumkumbusha Seneta wa Migori kwamba kwenye County Public Accounts Committee, tayari ripoti ya Mhasibu Mkuu imeonyesha ya kwamba katika ile enzi ya uongozi ya aliyekuwa Gavana wa Mombasa, hii ni ripoti ya nyumba hii--- (Sen....

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is just that the distinguished Senator for Nandi County came in at the tail end of my contribution. He would have seen that I did not raise anything substantive about the MP for Kiharu Constituency. I know the rules. Having...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if it pleases the Senator of Uasin Gishu, I have withdrawn. However, withdrawing does not change the fact; it simply means the fact has been removed on the menu. I am very disturbed when I hear a many of voices on the Minority...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, in 1976, a few passengers who were Israeli nationals were kidnapped and landed in Entebbe, Uganda. The Israeli Government, because of the meaning of the life of an Israeli, came to Uganda with the best of the best led by Mr. Jonathan Yoni because...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry to interrupt the proceedings. As you can hear, we are unable to concentrate on debate. There is a lot of picketing outside there and it has been happening every day we sit. I have come to learn that those are doctors...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale Which things?

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale I am concluding, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. They have come and we will discuss them. We want doctors to go back to the wards and treat patients. We are tired of buying coffins and attending funerals for preventable deaths. I speak this as the Chief Whip of...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale

What is your point of order, Sen. Kathuri?

Shame on him! Shame on him!

Sen. (Dr.) KhalwaleIf we will read from this, then we should push counties to pay entrepreneurs. This will open up the economies of all 47 counties, especially if we add a rider that says contracts must be given to local people in a county unless the expertise for doing a...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must be very responsible sometimes when prosecuting our debates. I want to know whether Sen.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support the Bill with the amendment that the amount should be raised to Kshs415.9 billion. What the National Assembly has done is unacceptable and must be resisted. However, we shall only succeed if we stand as a single House. I pray that the...
