Sen. Cherargeiexist. We have projects that exist on paper. Governors come for sanitization but when you go on the ground, you are told that projects stalled two years ago. For example, the Governor’s Office in Nandi County has stalled since Financial Year 2017/2018.Members of the CPAIC and the Committee on...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, while I support the Committee’s recommendations, the unfortunate thing is that this thing has already delayed for a very long time. In many areas, projects were done, but not paid for because of court issues and stoppage of these funds. Many people have suffered in the...

Regulations might not even work because of the person who is supposed to sign the projects.Functions of the CECM finance include consolidating all projects approved by the county technical committee and submitting to the secretary of the board for funding with a copy to CRA, preparing financial statements and submitting...

Sen. Cherargei Bi. Spika wa Muda, nashukuru kwa nafasi ambayo umenipa. Nitaanza kwa risala za rambirambi kwa jama na marafiki wa Bw.

Sen. CherargeiMadam Temporary Speaker, I speak to this only because on Tuesday, when the matter came before the Chamber, I was here and there were separate Motions for committees and the panel. The Motion regarding the panel went through. That is why Sen. Kinyua was sitting on the Chair yesterday....

Sen. Cherargei Sen. Cherargei, I see you are making a lot of huff about CS, hon. Keter, being summoned by the Committee on Energy. He was summoned because we wanted him to come and answer questions about the high electricity tariffs that are affecting Kenyans. The high electricity tariffs are...

Sen. Cherargei Madam Temporary Speaker, you need to appreciate that my time has been eaten away. September 23, 2021 SENATE DEBATES Sen.

Sen. CherargeiA In conclusion, Sen. Orengo knows that the reason that we have high prices of fuel and electricity is because of the ‘Handshake’ Government. They are the ones who should be addressing these things instead of defending the culprits. Let us put the blame where it--- The Temporary Speaker...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, nobody should have imagined that after your ruling yesterday somebody somewhere would go and connive a different act. The question as to whether the Statement I am reading will in any way impair your order does not arise as far as I am concerned. Your order is...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am standing under Standing Order No.1, where you have your own discretion that I can make some good comments and give some information to this House which will help them to be better prepared for Tuesday. The Speaker (Hon. Lusaka) It is the Speaker to give...

Sen. Cherargei Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to commend Sen. Kwamboka for bringing this timely Statement. Last time, we had a discussion and I thought that the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health should have been updating the House on the issues of the status of COVID-19...

Sen. Cherargei Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order for Sen. Olekina to say leaders drink up to 3.00 a.m., yet he knows very well that not all leaders drink? He should be specific. I think he is casting aspersions by saying that all leaders drink up to 3.00 a.m....

Sen. Cherargei (Inaudible)

Sen. Cherargei I am not in contention of whether you are supporting me or not. I have heard Sen. Olekina talking about ADC land, is it in order for him to tell this House that the Deputy President has land and yet he cannot produce evidence of ownership and possession...

Sen. Cherargei Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think maybe the training of Sen. Wambua is different from mine. My learned senior retired Justice, Sen. Madzayo will tell you that making unsubstantiated allegations is very wrong. I wanted some clarification from Sen. Olekina who has confirmed that he was just making...
