Sen. Mandago Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. I rise to add my voice to the matter of Kenya Airways (KQ) . As you know, KQ has been the Pride of Africa. Although there are a lot of blame games on the pilots, there are a lot...

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank the Chairman for the Committee on Energy, Sen. Wamatinga, for bringing this important Statement. I know that the Kenya Kwanza Government has a plan on how to bring the cost of energy down. Bringing the cost of energy down means...

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am saying all these because those commissioners and staff members do not actually review the salaries. They always outsource the services of consultants. All the money that is in SRC’s budget for salary review is used to pay consultants to do...

Sen. Mandago Mr. Deputy Speaker, I join my colleagues in supporting this Statement. Article 230 (5) (d) of the Constitution is clear on the benchmark of SRC in the performance of its function. It states: - ‘‘In performing its functions, the Commission shall take the following principles into account-

Yes, Mr. Temporary Speakers, Sir. Thank you. I stand in for the Senate Minority Leader, who has been called in for an urgent matter. Energy and food are some of the issues directly related to policy, as the Sen. of Homa Bay County had said. As you consider this matter...

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order No.98 that might direct you to Standing Order No.52, which might also interest you in Standing Order No.1. I commend the Senate and especially the Clerk’s Office for the ingenuity in...

Thank you, Sen. Mandago. I hope you will also take up the challenge on the issue facing MCAs as well as governors, having been one. Sen. Oketch Gicheru, Migori County proceed.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir for giving me an opportunity to weigh in on the Statement by the distinguished Senator for Kitui County. The statement is unfortunate. I have listened to the Senator for Siaya County, Sen. (Dr.) Oburu. He was a councilor in 1974. The years 1974 and...

Proceed, Sen. Cherarkey. Kindly let us do this in less than two minutes so that we can move to the next Statement.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I can recall that during the previous session, Sen. Kinyua brought a Motion and I seconded it. Sen. Wambua also tried to follow up on this matter. Let us place it where it belongs. The National Treasury refused to release the funds. We canvassed and agreed...

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

Sen. Lelegwe, kindly, proceed.

I apologize to my colleague and Senator for interfering with your contribution. I have noted the time left for the contribution for this Motion is less than 15 minutes. It is a matter that has attracted a lot of attention from the Hon. Senators and I rose to kindly ask...

Thank you, Sen. Lelegwe for your intervention. I am guided that under Standing Order No.34, a Motion to adjourn ought to have been moved at least 30 minutes before the time appointed for adjournment. If we have got only 10 minutes or so, then that Motion cannot be moved at...

Sen. Mandago Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we are undermining your authority which is a trend that we need not allow. When one talks of “majority” and “minority”, what is that? How can one side become a majority and minority at the same time? I respect my colleague, but...

Sen. MandagoTumsikize Sen. Ali Roba.

Sen. Mandago Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the Senator for Murang’a County that the people of Nairobi City County, that includes him because he lives here, have a right to clean and safe water. It is their economic and social right according to Article 43 (d) of...
