Sen. Oketch Gicheru, you are not the Chair.

Asante, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii. Laiti tungelifuata filosofia ya Nyayo ambayo inasema amani, upendo na umoja. Umoja ni nguvu, utengano ni udhaifu. Mazungumzo ni mazuri kwa maana sote tunaishi katika nchi yetu ya Kenya. Mazungumzo haya yalianzishwa na Maseneta werendi sana. Unakumbuka Seneta Wambua kutoka Kitui na Seneta...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Finally, whenever there is any dispute or disagreement over any issue of national importance, it is important that the police are restrained. We cannot allow the police to continue butchering citizens of this country, then the leadership of this country stands to praise--- (Sen. Beth...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As a result of what is and has been happening, I had no time to look for the evidence I promised. I have been in hiding. (Laughter)

Mr. Speaker, Sir, from here, I had to run away to Kitui County. I only came back this morning.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think what I said was at the spur of the moment. I withdraw and apologize. Thank you.

Hon. Senators, the matter of dress code of Senators has surfaced a number of times in the short stint of the 13th Parliament, warranting my hand to render a well- reasoned, considered and final ruling on the matter. I note with concern that the issue of dress-code has been raised...

Just a moment. Let me ask the Clerk to confirm if we have quorum. (The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Abdul Haji) consulted the Clerk-at-the-Table) We seem not to have the quorum. I, therefore, direct that the Quorum Bell be rung for 10 minutes. (The Quorum Bell was rung) Hon. Senators, Sen....

Asante, Bi. Spika wa Muda. Nasimama kuchangia mjadala ulioletwa na Senata wa Embu, Sen. Munyi Mundigi. Bi. Spika wa Muda, kikatiba ni halali kwa watu kuandamana na kuleta malalamishi yao kwa viongozi na kulalamikia mambo kama haiendi sawa kwa maisha yao. Ninasikitika kwamba maandamano imechukuliwa kuwa ya viongozi na kwamba...

Mambo haya yananiuma sana. (Loud consultations)

Asante, Bi. Spika wa Muda. Maandamano ambayo inaendelea inaongozwa na wananchi wa Kenya ambao wanajitetea na kudai haki yao. Si kwamba maandamano imepangwa na viongozi wa Azimio kwa sababu, Wakenya wenyewe ndio wanaumia. Bi. Spika wa Muda, kutokana na yale mambo yanayoendelea, kusema kwamba Wakenya wanasukumwa kuenda kuuliwa ni uongo....

Where is the evidence?

Sen. Beth Syengo, I direct that you substantiate and table the evidence tomorrow at 2.30 p.m.

Kuna ushahidi, Bi. Spika wa Muda.

Nitaleta ushahidi kwa sababu Sen. Cherarkey alichapisha kwenye Twitter na imesambaa mitandaoni. Kwa hivyo, hakuna kitu cha kuficha. Ni ukweli na niko na ushahidi.

I am still giving out information to Sen. Beth Syengo! Surely? (Loud consultations) Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to inform Sen. Beth Syengo because she said, ‘if the police did not interfere with peaceful protestors when the demonstration started.’ I want to inform Sen. Beth Syengo that on the first...

(Loud consultations)

Bi. Spika wa Muda, nimesema kwamba nina ushahidi kuwa Sen. Methu alichapisha kwa WhatsApp. Hata waliitwa Ikulu kupanga vile watatuchinja kesho. Kwa hivyo, mjue kwamba tunajua. Bi. Spika wa Muda, ningetaka kujulisha wenzangu hapa kwamba sufuria ni ishara ya chakula.

Bi. Spika wa Muda, kwa heshima, naomba usikuwe na upendeleo. Hao wametuita goons na wakora na umenyamza. Mbona nikisema wamepanga kutuchinja---

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am not Sen. Kavindu, but I am reading this Notice of Motion on her behalf. I beg to give Notice of the following Motion: THAT, AWARE THAT, disaster is defined as an overwhelming event and circumstance that tests the adaptation of responses of a...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Allow me to use a different language because I want to express myself when I am sure of what I am saying. I start by congratulating my Senator, Sen. Wambua, for this important Bill. This is at the heart of our people. Allow me...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill by my young sister, Sen. Tabitha Mutinda. I would like to echo what many have said that agriculture is the backbone of the economy of this country. It is important that we take agricultural and livestock extension services...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues to pass my condolences, first, to you, the Clerk, the entire staff of Senate and all of us as a House. I knew Marya as a very cool and composed staff who was very dedicated to serve even us who have...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion by Sen. Kibwana. I also congratulate my sister for coming up with this timely Motion. I doubt that any Member of this House can oppose this Motion because we all know the environment that our police officers live...

Asante, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii kuchangia Ardhilhali ya Sen. Mariam Omar kuhusu kuondolewa na kubomolewa nyumba kwa wakaazi wa Chokaa Mihango. Hii inaonyesha utepetevu wa wafanyikazi wa kampuni tofauti tofauti, kwa sababu wakati hizi nyumba zilikuwa zikijengwa, walikuwa wapi? Wanaohusika kama ni planning ama ni kuruhusu nyumba zijengwe,...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to reply to the Bill. I recognize the contributions that have been meant by different Senators to this Bill. Taking points that they have raised, I appreciate all the 10 Senators who have contributed and supported the Bill. I do not take...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to move the Bill on Cotton Industry Development. The objective of this Bill is to provide for policy and institutional framework within which the cotton industry operates by establishing Cotton Development Board of Kenya.
