Hon. Murungi Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as an expert in the field of names of trees, I would like to notify my friend that the scientific name of the omutere tree, which is popular in Kakamega Forest, is myosotis emini. He should use that name and avoid the Luhya one....

Hon. Murungi Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I could give good information on that profession. Unfortunately, the Bill is not dealing with names of trees. I will concentrate on the contents of the Bill. This Bill is here in fulfilment of Article 71 of the Constitution. We should have transactions subject...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in as much as we condemn the actions taken by the hospital, there are many hospitals in Kenya where as you get to the casualty, the first thing they want to know is whether the patient has money even before they know the name...

Sen. Murungi This is not a Motion affecting counties. Therefore, I will put the question. (Questioned put and agreed to)

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion. This Motion was discussed between the Senate Minority Leader and I yesterday and it was agreed that it is important for us – given that we will be proceeding for recess tomorrow – to have a morning session to discuss,...

Hon. Murungi Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was rising on a point of order. It is through the consultation of the Committee on Education, Research and Technology with Prof. Kaimenyi, who sits in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, that Hon. Gumbo is able to discuss this...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, the statement had been given last week by Sen. Haji. However, there were certain clarifications which he said he would go back to the Cabinet Secretary to seek, and come back with this week. So, since he is not here, it is only fair that...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very sad story. In the 1970s, Kenya used to produce 90 per cent of its shoes and only import 10 per cent. In 2015, Kenya is importing 90 per cent of its shoes and only producing 10 per cent. This is one...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am disappointed because this matter was postponed last week. It was an urgent matter. It is very unfortunate that this Senate has no procedure of even making statements by private notice, the way we used to do in the National Assembly so that matters...

Sen. Murungi On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am on a very serious point of order. When the Senate sits on impeachment proceedings, it does so like a court. These are quasi-judicial proceedings. We vote like judges in court. Each of us will be making a judgement....

Sen. Murungi Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, I am the Senator for Murang’a County. I have heard what the Committee has said. It is important that they have said what they have to say. I reckon that, maybe, we now have to go back and do what we...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a statement to make which was requested by Sen. Sang.

Sen. Murungi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I request to give it on Tuesday, next week, when Sen. Sang will be here.

Sen. Murungi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very sad story and the Government seems to be helpless in the face of Borana bandits and cattle rustlers who have invaded large parts of Meru. The measures that Chairman, Sen. Haji, has talked about do not seem to be effective...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can the Chairman tell us when this team will start work because this is the real problem? Until the boundary is marked, this ambiguity and problems will continue.

Sen. Murungi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my friend, the Senator for Kajiado, has made a very serious statement; that the leaders who attended the funeral asked the people to arm themselves. I attended the funeral and it was a church service in which we preached peace and requested the Government...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Chairman, Sen. Haji, because he is a very hardworking and honest person. However, I will be interested to know how much more time he requires to bring the additional information which he has said he does not have now.

Sen. Murungi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that the Standing Orders only require consultation of the leadership of the House and the Speaker in calling that Special Session. Impeachment is the most important and serious business for this House. Given the mood that you are getting from the Members,...

Sen. Murungi Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Chairman of the Committee on Lands, Housing and Urban development for this Statement. The Statement leaves some gaps which the CS could have filled. It brings out the lack of commitment of this Government, in issuance of...

Sen. Murungi Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, January is three months away from now. I will revisit the matter in January, but as a sign of seriousness and commitment, could the Cabinet Secretary release Kshs5 million to Ruiru/Rwarera Adjudication Scheme so that the objections can be heard? There are only three...

Sen. Murungi Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. The charges which you have read to us are very serious. Many of them are of a criminal nature. So, I am very happy that our leaders in the House have given the best...
