Methu John Muhia

Sen. Methu Madam Temporary Speaker, what has happened this afternoon is very important. That is about how we will be conducting our business, especially those who are not analogue. We have the likes of Omtatah who have gone digital. We have Standing Order No.265 that is supposed to guide us....

Madam Temporary Speaker, the point of order was the identity of the person or people who are sending the people he called those names. Who is this force?

Sen. Boni, we have restrained the use of unparliamentary language. The term “boys” was withdrawn. Do not use it again.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Indeed, I heard the Senator for Nyandarua very well. Could the Chair, please, invite Sen. Osotsi to respond to that point of order? His point of order was, “who is sending the boys?” That is the clarification he wanted. Once you tell us those “boys”,...

What is your point of order, Sen. Boni?

On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I withdraw the word “boys”. Sen. Methu is such a very intelligent leader and he has been reading newspapers. You have been following social media and you have heard people make statements in the media regarding what the next steps of ODM should be. I made reference...

Sen. Osotsi, can you elaborate but without the reference of the word “boys” because that name has been withdrawn?

Sen. Methuon responsibility for a statement of fact. Now that we want to follow the debate and understand where the Deputy Party Leader of ODM is coming from and he is a senior official in the party, may I ask that he expounds so that for our own consumption and...

Sen. Methu

Sen. Methu

Sen. Methu The point I want to make is this: It is incumbent upon the Chair to give a considered ruling. The other day I was on the Floor referring to a judgment and I was asked to table. What I did was to take my phone and share the...

Sen. Methu I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. As the leader of the Migori County Delegation, I must say that on this Motion, my people who gave me the chance to be in this House are sad. I will not lie that they were...

Sen. Cherarkey, I hope you have understood.

Yes, I have. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for seeing you today in the morning. After this, I will buy a hair comb for my brother, Sen. Methu. In fact, he has answered himself by insinuating. I did not say the NADCO Report has the name of Raila Odinga....

Sen. Methu Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would not have wanted to disrupt my neighbour, but for records, Standing Order No.101 (6) says- “A Senator shall refer to another Senator by the title Senator.” We all heard the Senator for Nakuru County, our Senate Deputy Majority Leader, refer to the Chairperson...

Sen. Methu Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move the report of the Mediation Committee on the Water Amendment Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.33 of 2023) .

Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is very sad that a giant at the level of Moi University has sunk to being closed indefinitely for this long and this matter cannot be addressed. We need to understand what exactly is happening to Moi October 24, 2024 SENATE DEBATES...

Sen. Methu Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is actually very relevant information because Moi University has been listed as one of the academic giants that we have around. That is why it has given us the people who lead in this House, led by the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot. It...

Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Allow me to comment on the two Statements that have been sought by our brother the Senator for Nandi County. I will start with this Statement that has been sought on the indefinite closure of Moi University. As the Standing Committee on Education...

Sen. Methu Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We conform to the directions and Communication that you have also given. I agree with the wisdom of the Senator for Nairobi City County that this is a matter of serious public interest. The matter before us is so weighty. It cannot be...

Sen. Methu Madam Temporary Speaker, I meant he is living on borrowed time because my statement has taken over a year. So, that is what I meant. I did not mean any other thing. Sen. Methu should relax because he sits beside the Senate Majority Leader or the Deep State....
