Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me take this opportunity to thank the people of Embu and the great Parliament of Embu Assembly for bringing this issue to this point. It is happening all over the country; all counties are facing this particular problem. Turkana was the first...

Order, Sen. Munyes! I thought you were in the House when I was informing the Senator for Machakos that the Motion before us is only for one county known as Embu County. (Laughter)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am just trying to alert the Senate that there is something coming from the north; and the people of Turkana will not sit to see Governor Nanok undermine the spirit of the Turkana people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Committee for...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator for Turkana – the guy who rigged you out – in order to discuss other Governors who were not mentioned in this Report?

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, noting the fact that this Committee will only have ten days and from what we are hearing from various hon. Senators, the message is very clear. The Senate is on trial and hon. Senators have to deal with this issue professionally, impartially and objectively. Hon....

Sen. Wangari Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion for Adjournment. It is very sad that I have just seen a tweet from Daily Nation that as we sit here and discuss this...

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not so sure whether we have disposed of the issue which was raised earlier by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo. Sen. Kagwe wants to respond to a Statement sought earlier, but at the same time, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo sought a Statement and I thought we...

Sen. Wangari Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know I featured yesterday not in a very positive light. It was definitely not by show of contempt, and I hope that I will be forgiven; I will do as directed by the Speaker. But that said and done, Mr. Speaker, Sir,...

Sen. Wangari Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am not talking on behalf of Sen. Sang but I am reliably informed that he has a wife, but that is neither here or there. Let me start by, first of all, congratulating the Mover of this Bill. I personally think...

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to give a Ministerial Statement that was requested by the Senator for Kakamega, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. The Senator rose on the Floor of the House and requested for the Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Energy, Roads and Transportation as...

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought that was specific to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s issue. May I react to Sen. (Dr.) Machage’s issue?

Sen. Wangari Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I appreciate the self-mobilisation of Sen. Murkomen. This devolution has not been easy. We have had many meetings and this is an issue that kept on coming up. It does not at all mean or imply that the Government is bankrupt. That is...

Sen. Wangari Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the query from the Chairperson of the Committee on Finance, Commerce and Economic Affairs. My response was on the specifics that were asked in this Statement. I know that the emerging issues will be dealt with after the Senator who had sought the...

Time has come for us to talk about the flying of the flag. Maybe I need to talk about the flying of this flag so that other Senators can also contribute. We cannot allow, as a country, to have a situation where everybody is flying the flag everywhere because the...

When they are in a meeting where the President is not present, Governors have an opportunity to be referred to as His Excellency the Governor. We want to assist our Governors to come out of that confusion and embarrassment. I have seen situations in the counties where a Senator, Member...
