Hon. Senators, the result of the Division is as follows-

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1) to make a Statement on a matter of international concern regarding the recently concluded continental consultations on the draft model law on labour migration in Africa, held from the 16th to 18th June, 2025...

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This meeting brought together parliamentarians, Government officials, international partners and civil society actors to review and refine a harmonised legal framework to guide African Union (AU) Member States in managing labour migration in a coordinated and rights-based manner. July 15, 2025 SENATE...

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Hon. Senators, allow me to rearrange the Order Paper. There are three statements that we will come back to under Standing Order No.53 (1) . We will move to Order Nos.8, 9 and 10, and thereafter, resume the normal flow as contained in today's Order Paper. (Interruption...

Lastly, we will hear from the Senator for Isiolo County. As is our tradition, the host Senator normally gets more time. Therefore, Hon. Senator, I will give you 10 minutes.

think the Assembly will have guts to bring a Motion to this House; not only Isiolo, but the whole country and even the governors themselves. We always stand here criticising counties and talking about oversight. The oversight has been killed today by the same House.If the direction you are going...

You cannot impute improper motive on your colleagues. If you want to proceed in that manner, you know what to do; substantive motions.

I thought that Professor had six more seconds. Professor, could it be that you got emotional and could not speak? Sen. (Prof.) Kamar No, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I saw the red light and was shocked that I had finished three minutes. We have to come out, as a Senate, to...

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me proceed and I will leave it at that. Isiolo is bleeding and it is not safe today. The Assembly is not safe after today. I am not safe after today. Isiolo people will not be safe after today. I can see the...

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I rise to support the statement and condemn the actions of the Governor of Isiolo County in the strongest terms possible. It is very sad that a governor who is supposed to be his Excellency can talk such...

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar

Sen. (Prof.) KamarIf we had Kshs465 billion, the debate would not be here because everybody would have jumped in billions. However, now that we have restricted ourselves to the minimum increment that we have been given, we still need to have this conversation with the National Assembly at some point...

Sen. (Prof.) KamarAs Sen. Thang’wa said before he was stopped, we were dealing with two illegal groups and I think we made those observations. The first Mr. Temporary Speaker, was suspended, but there is nothing called suspension. Therefore, the Members of the Assembly were wrong to do the suspension. That...

Give the Senator one minute to conclude. Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Please give me one minute because I am a Member of the Committee and I want to clarify two things. That is what we agreed as a Committee and that is what we accepted. We wanted this House on the...

Your one minute is up, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. Sen. Joyce Korir, proceed.

Sen. (Prof.) KamarAdditionally, I am impressed by the incentives for creativity. The question is: who pays you to think? Who pays you to give an idea? Who pays you to nurture the idea? A young man told me that he was in Form 4 and he has an idea but...

Next is Sen. Abass.

Madam Temporary Speaker, first and foremost, I want to applaud Sen. Eddy who is one of the youngest Senators. I am sure he felt the need to support the creative arts. I thank him for bringing this good Bill which everybody should appreciate. Kenya is a diverse country full of...

I remember when I was a young man, before I learned anything, we used to get mobile cinemas, who used to go to every corner of Kenya, showing people about agriculture, and how to produce food. They used to show us traditional dances. I did not know about the Maasais....

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity and thank you, Cabinet Secretary for the answers. I am just wondering about the universities in relation to the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVETs) and you answered the question earlier. How much space do we have in...

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar

Sen. (Prof.) Kamar Yes, Sen. Ali Roba, you may proceed.
